Have you had a bike before?
Can you ride, if so safely?
Do you have a licence?

If so skip to the second paragragh, if not buy a cheap trail bike, find some vacanat land and start riding that bike, learning how to handle adverse situations. Do this BEFORE going anywhere near the road. Then....

The only parts you'll get cheaper for the jappa is the motor. If it was me, I'd save, get a 2nd job, sell your car, what ever. Buy a cheap evo sporty, start riding it as you collect parts. When you have enough, weld on rear end, oil tank, battery box etc etc pull it off the road and do it, selling off the parts you dont use. You may want to search DNA on here before you buy a springer. The short chopper you are describing doesnt neccessaily need a springer to have a great look. Just 2 cents...

If I can buy cheap bikes and get them shipped from places like PA and MN to Australia without leaving my desk it should be relatively easy for anyone to score a cheap bike when you are in the US.
