If you know how to work on it yourself go for it, otherwise it will sit more than you ride.

Grab it. Projects are what keeps some people (like myself) sane. Make sure you post pics!

Gonna try an ironhead? Are you a good mechanic? Like to work on bikes? They are a little strange and finicky. If I was gonna bob a bike I would get an EVO sporty. You'll spend much less time working and more time riding it. And if you are planning on hot-rodding around on a nearly 30 year old bike, think again. These old girls are fun as heck to ride but they won't take beating on.
