buy what you really want, otherwise you will was time effort and money building something that your heart is not really into

purchase price of bike is one thing, costs of modifying is another

it will cost about the same to modify what ever you buy

purchase price of hd or brit bike can be offset by reselling the bits you don't want on

usually overlooked but early evo electraglides are not popular and sell for sportster money

and have a different frame and front end structure that is good for nothing but being an electraglide.

Agreed the older sportys and triumphs cost more take more work and maintanance and a nice evo or jap might give you more riding time for less money. If its one bike your gonna have go for reliability. So many almost finished projects out there versus the complete restoration project that's costs a ton to do. Not to mention the time it takes. You spend countless hrs. Just on research when you do a project from the bottom up the work and assembly is.way less time than gaining the knowledge needed.

But we don't want him to make that mistake of that decision he made. Ending up with a POS that will drain his wallet and leave him frustrated ( ironhead).Get a jap and ride it save for the bike you want.
