That looks wicked....but tell me about how long you think it will take to build it out & have it running ?
Also what do you expect the end price will be ? I only ask because I was thinking of building one myself also, but not to your extent of custom parts.
Good luck & keep the shinny side up.

hoping to have all the parts in about 4 weeks. take about another 4 weeks to build. guessing the finished value at $35k easily. but realisticly in this market, i will start it at $25 for quick sale.
i am getting such a smoking deal on all the parts, i cannot loose money at all!! if anyone is interested www.roadrunnercycles.com cool guy and if you buy everything from him, he will give you a deal nobody can match. after talking to him on the phone and finding out what he was sitting on in stock, i saved about $5k over what he listed on his site, which still has really low prices, and what i was prepared to spend for parts of this quality.
you could do a bobber with sick brand name parts for like $8-9k easily with him!
reread your question. not sure if you meant how much it will cost to build it or how much it will be worth when done. i will be paying approx. $12,500 for all the parts!!!!!!!!!!! just a couple things i will make like the seat and pipes. told ya i couldn't pass up the deal, lol.

Hopefully I'll have that front I bought fitted by a shop by then. Then, while I'm painting it with your expert tutelage, we can stare at your pile of bike parts.

man, i have no idea yet. i'm thinking i'm gunna have to ditch the black/ copper wheels. it kind of locks me into a certain style and not sure that style fits the theme of the bike with that tank. if i get different wheels, the is a good chance it WILL be candy green and black! lol

well, looks like i am kind of stuck with the copper spoke wheels now. they are already on their way. i will put it together and see if i can make it work. if not, i can turn around and sell them. seen some other super sick wheels. they cost about as much as my works did though, ugh.

well i have seen samples of the copper now. it is a powder coated candy that goes over chrome. it looks identical to polished copper though. if i do the copper spokes, i will have to do a ton of the other chrome on the bike copper also, which will cost even more. might look good, might look hokey all black and copper. not sure it is a safe bet to do on something i plan to turn around and sell. found some sick billet satin finish wheels that will fit the style perfect for $1300. the different stuff they have for these things makes the designs almost endless!

Get ahold of Bikes2NV if you're looking for powder over chrome. I bought a set of Busa wheels (candy tangerine 3 spokes / hub over chrome with chrome lips) from them and continue to get compliments on them....need to post a pic.
