    So are you going to build a new frame or chop an exsiting frame?
    Then I could get a Kb Tshirt, move to Timaru and become a full time crossdressing faggot

    I would like to build a new regit frame. But most of the donar bike's frame will be needed to fit the rest of the parts.

    Get your arse out to visit ezinnz
    The bike in his profile he built himself and has a huge amount of knowledge on this subject. Well worth picking his brain (costs involved, time, technical...etc)

    Thanks, I just mailed Andy(EZinNZ) to see if we can meet...

    The pictures on his site is really nice. I must say I have a lot of respect for someone like him that goes out and do this kind of things.

    Motors

    Just thinkin maybe you could look at GSXR 11 motors as they have been around awile and are easy to get parts for , also a good range of models to choose from , Bandit , 1100F , GS1200 etc

    I reckon a Suzi Savage would be a good baseline. Nice, simple motor and frame.
    Mostly reliable (if you keep them fed with oil, ay Col ....).

    Thought about that once or twice,...hmmm,... "Newlands County Choppers"...hmmm...

    Honda fours, Yammie twins- They have all been done to death.
    Find something off beat, or unloved that you like the look of and go for it.
    The reading list posted early in the thread, great advice!
    There are a few pretty Jap motors that have been hidden behind plastic for too long, and they are in some cases (pun intended) quite pretty under there.
    Or how about the Hyosong (excuse spelling) that has to be original and a few get to the wreckers yard.
    I like the triples, with one underseat pipe and one pipe either side, yeah!
    How about a new school Triumph chopper, Hinkley style

    Not a bad idea that, Nudz. Savage has one pot, they're basic and you can get parts easily. Good engine (with oil..) good torque
