     Hi all 

    I posted this in general forum but its better suited here

     

    HELP

    Have been thinking of a bobber project

    But not sure on the Costs of a ICV and what an engineer expects

    I know I have to do all the 2010 ADRs but what other than the 550 rule is going to catch me out 

     

    Option 1 

    Looking on the net I can buy a decent custom built bobber from the states with a brand name frame MSO and a Ultima or revtec engine for $7000 to $10,000

    This is my preferred but how hard is it to get a existing bike passed by engineer?

     

    Option 2 

    Buy a roller from the us

    Fit local engine budget prob  sportster <img src=" border="0" /> or triumph

     

    Option 3

    Mod a local bike

    But this starts with a hefty outlay and a average finish

     

    Any advice from people that have gone through this would be great

    It's your mob Flyrites iron head smoking guns iron head roller that got me interested
    in a build in the first place.

    On your build I see you have going - what would you estimate engineering cost to an average Joe like me would be ?

    Any comments on importing a complete bike?

    cheers
