Ever since i first saw this MC i've been in love with it, now i have saved up some cash and thinking about building something similar.
Any of you guys have any idea of how much it would cost ?
This was taken from the site i found the bike on.
>"This 1972 Ironhead Sportster has one off handle bars, rear fender, fork slider covers, oil tank, mid foot controls, tail light bracket and exhaust. It runs a 21 inch front wheel with Avon MK-2 tire and a 16 inch rear with a Cocker ribbon tire. - S & S Super E carb - TT & Co unity headlight - TT & Co sharkstooth exhaust bracket - TT & Co finned points cover"

Depends how much of the work you can do yourself and if you have fabrication skills. If you hire a pro build shop to do that, you could easily drop 20k.
If you can actually do shit yourself and have some skills, probably half that, again depending on fab skills and where you source your parts

It's not hard to build a bobber.

No its not, but you need time which i dont have

Then buy a running motorcycle and do everything I mentioned except rebuilding the running gear. It'll at most take a couple of weekends. All you'd be doing is unbolting shit and painting it black.

the things listed I assume come with it? Because they're definitely not on it. You'll need exhaust as well.
>>
>>15349997
Yeah those things come with it.

You probably spend more time putting it together versus just buying an already running one and stripping all the shit off and painting it.

Buy a nightster and start pulling shit off, it's easy, I'm doing it.

So adding a few parts on a almost pre build mc would take more time than disassembling the whole bike , paint it and then reassemble it again :S
>>
>>15351203
You wouldn't be taking apart the whole bike, See >>15349822
All you'd be doing is taking off the two fenders and rattlecanning it black.
