Option 3) Find each and every part one at a time and build a completely custom motorcycle.
I would only have 1/2 the cost and 1/2 the parts sitting around and gathering dust until I get time to get it together. For me this is a very serious option to consider. This option also allows for a ton of customization in the parts that people see and the parts that give a bike it's personality. This setup helps avoid some of the major work needed to mix match and fit these items together. Add a motor and a transmission and all the major workings of the bike are in place. Option 2) Start with a Rolling chassis, this is the middle of the road option, spend a lump sum of money, about 1/2 of what the overall bike will cost and get a basic setup that all works together.Ī Rolling chassis kit consists of a Frame, 2 wheels, the forks, and triple clamps and bars, all build and configured to work together. Because all the parts are in the kit, I may resist the urge to get new bars or different sheet metal, or other parts. One drawback to this option is the amount of customization I can do to the bike as it is put together. As a first bike I think this is a very good option, when you consider all the expensive mistakes I may make along that way. If I get a kit, I maybe able to get it together faster, as I will be motivated and have all the parts ready to go. This is a bit out of my spend a ton of money now then not be able to ride a bike for a year or two thinking. The problem a complete kit bike will cost me $12,000 dollars right up front. What do I mean by this, well a kit bike has all the parts it just needs paint, labor, gas, oil and some love. Option 1) If I start with a motorcycle kit I maybe the farthest ahead from a mechanical perspective, and farthest behind from a financial point of view. I have 4 basic options, a kit bike, a rolling chassis, a start from zero build, or an extreme makeover of a current motorcycle. I realize I will need to do a lot of research before I start. Let's start with a my build options, and plan on a slow and steady approach.
Now I have a few reasons on paper a will look at my options, then make a plan, a schedule, and find some extra money. 5) I have been talking about this for 5 years so why don't I get to it and stop doing all the talking and start doing some building. A $35,000 chopper is out of my current budget. 4) I want to be able to make this dream come true, meaning I need to be able to pay for it. 3) I want to be able to customize the bike beyond the standard add on parts I can get for my current bike a Harley Davidson Fatboy. 2) I want to be able to say "I built that" when someone asks me where I got that totally sick bike. I will start by trying to justify this purchase and or endeavor, to do this I will make a list of my reasons? 1) I want to ride a custom chopper, a totally cool stretched out, fire breathing, gas eating, pavement pounding, old lady scaring, 2 wheel monster. Should I make a business plan, a schedule, a financial statement, or should I just buy my wife some flowers and blindly proceed? I guess I should do all of the above but not necessarily in that order. So you want to build a custom chopper? I do too, so the first question I asked myself, is where do I start.
