So the economy sucks and we are all feeling the financial pressure. So what are forum members here building with what little disposible income we might have?

Customs, choppers, bobbers or baggers? What's in your garage?

Still have my bagger, but its mostly pretty much stock. I figure I'll modify it when I see a need to. In the meantime I like seeing what others are doing with theirs. So more photos here and in the magazine please.

I need to find a part-time job to build up that disposable income for the next project.

I have a little disposable income right now and am starting this new project bike to be done on a budget. It's going to be a 70's style chopper. Old school if you want to call it that, but with some modern technology. I am starting with a 1980 Shovelhead running into an Ultima 6 speed with a 3" BDL open drive. The mechanicals will go into a Rolling Thunder frame set up with a 6" up and 3" out stretch, 50 degrees of rake. A 20" over Redneck Engineering springer front end. 80 spoke wire wheels at both ends and a 180 rear tire. No front fender and a short rear fender. Kick start only with about 14 inch ape hangers. Should be REAL cool!

Dang! Keep us informed, will ya? Looks like a fun project.

Disposable income? What's that?

[Maxxdog21]

I will keep you informed of the progress. I will post pics as I get things done.It is a fun project! This afternoon I took a cutting wheel to my brand new Ultima tranny and cut the starter ear off of it. Now I have to smooth it a little and give it a little polish. I guess I'm dedicated now to making it a kick only(that was my plan anyhow)! My belt drive came yesterday and my tranny sprocket and chain are due tomorrow. The frontend will be here by Thursday. Then the real mockup will start.

You guys knows what I build up now, and on extremly low budget, but still fatter than the most cats around.
