I tell you Manuel, I thought about this place before I got moving in anything.
Sure, when Tools got that sohc last week or so and realized the crank is shot,
the carbs that Cdicool found on his ride, the items you've had, I was kinda
like, why?  Why bother.

I could prob sell off the wheels, front end, tank, seat and frame, and have a spare motor
for my SS for free.

I wanted to go off like Hoosier D, cafe city, but really don't have time or wherewithall
for a big one like that.
Thought I did, but that little voice of reason is yelling at me.
But it's still a doable thing......

But I'm leaning on a kinda mild chopper.

I know, I never thought I'd go in that direction.
But, the bike has good oem paint,
It's the factory version of a chopper, imo, for that year.
I'm thinking something like the later Sportsters,
lean, flat black mostly, a single Bates style seat.
Long and low.

HD and that look us big around here.
Being a twin cam, it'll eat most Sportsters alive.
It would be the cheapest build.
