Like Mega says, put it aside for a while if you run out of funds. Getting a new piece a plastic is another alternative, just have good plans to pay it back. I was taking my time and using available funds building mine, then decided I wanted to complete it and ride it before winter. Dipped into some funds that I am currently paying back.
Another thing, IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME!! Put "funds to build bike" on your christmas list.

A stripped down bobber doesn't need a 127" to move out........the bike is so light, that a huge motor will just sit and spin.[&:] An S&S 96" would be perf4ect in a light bike. GOOD reliability and power to match!!!! Also hearing the new 4X4 Revtech 100" is a good engine now,....fixed the problems with their earlier engines....[]
If you can afford it, a TC88A with adapter plate would be fantastic! Needs a gear drive cam setup, but a great motor, and can easily put 95 inch slugs on it while it's out.

RE: Advice on a custom
A lot of these guys are right in their posts. I have built mine from scratch and it was a lot of tribulation and error that goes into building a custom bike. I took a year to design mine and another year to collect all the parts. A lot of parts were sent back because either it was wrong or it was a defect in the product. And remember this - YOU HAVE TO FIGHT WITH THE COMPANIES you order from. You are wrong and they are right! The total build took Four months [12-14 hrs a day] Most of the parts had to be fabricated or customized in some type of way. And the best part, once you get it all together, now you have to get it registered and titled. Oh what fun!!! If you really want to build a bike, visit this website... www.clubchopper.com, you will get alot of advice. You may just want to let a builder build your bike - now, which builder? The list goes on and on. if you have any questions, don't hesitate to send me a PM. here's my chopper. it will be going up for sale in feburary so I can start another project.
