I would like to build a bobber
Hey guys
Im was initially saving to buy a Brass ***** Digger. I got to thinking, however, that if Im going to save for over a year I could just buy the parts as i go and build my own bobber.
Now I have never tried this and Im not expecting the nice people here to walk me through it but if anyone can point me in the right direction with regard to good manuals and web sites im not afraid of a bit of reading =)
I am interrested in basing it on the Brass ***** kind of design so I would like to use the Crazyhorse V-Plus engine its the old Indian Power plus engine with the bugs worked out ( or so they say ). The only thing here is I cant find alot of info about it.
So the second part of my post is whether or not this is a decent engine or what one might suggest
Cheers
Mike

I have been throwing around the idea of trying to build a bike too. I have mechanical ability, bu am no pro by any means. I have been looking at the all inclusive kits you can buy where everything comes in a box, but they seem expensive. 10-20 k for me to build it myself seem a bit much, when I can buy a Sportster with a warranty for less. Does anyone know where to get these things cheaper than that? I like the Sucker Punch Sallys ones and a bunch of others but they just seem so expensive.

I started building mine in June. I did not know where to start so I went to a bike shop and asked them what I need to do. Luck for me the shop I went too was willing to help me out more than I had expected. I decided to buy a new frame and engine, I am using a used transmission and front end, all the other parts are either new or parts off other bikes. I have been able to find some good parts off craigslist and I have a good acquaintance that sells oil tanks on ebay. His tanks are pretty good quality and are fairly reasonable. If you look in "my bobber" post I have a picture of my bike with one of his oil tanks.

I started talking to the different shops in my area and some were great and some were like dont waste my time this is serious business. I know where I wont be buying my parts from lol.
Noone has commented yet but does anyone recommend the Crazyhorse V-Plus or is it just not that well known?
