im after some oppinions as to what to do build a custom or buy and modify?  Can people please help me decide. I want something similsr to a night train style but with a 250 rear.  I slso want this to  be my hobby as i do 4 and 1 roster over wa. is there much drama building a bike? Much modifing involved ive looked into vpw krsftech frames and they pretty much do everything. 

Decisions!!!

 How about going to a few bike shows, Custom motorcycle builders, and talking to a few people who have been down a similar path before. Try and get as much information from these people before shelling out your hard earned. It also depends how radically different from standard you want to go, and how soon you want to be able to get out and start riding. If it's just a fatter rear end you want, well you might be better off buying a bike and doing the mods, otherwise if you have plenty of $, spare time, patience, and skills for a long term project  by all means go the Kraft Tech frame or similar, but be prepared for many head aches along the way.

what he said i got a kraft tach frame to replace my bent oem frame and thay are a good looking frame and thy are pretty close to the oem i had to weld a few extra brackets on the frame as evos change slightley over the years no big deal though the biggest thing i came accross was the price diffrance from supplier here and the states i ended up getting mine from jason at mcs and at the time was $250 cheaper to my door than any other oz supplier and he had it in stock the brakets took 3 weeks to get from kraftech every one else was going to take 6 or more weeks as thay didnt have it in stock just do your research and stick to a plan

Go down to SuperCycles in Osborne Park, they have a huge range of Saxon and Pro-One cookie cutter Choppers on the show room floor you can choose from, all brand new, ADR compliant and come with new bike rego (no I am not affiliated with them). It's an expensive option but a lot less of a headache than dealing with ICVs. If you enjoy a project, government red tape and spending time with engineers then build your own bike (possibly from a kit) and it will work out cheaper than buying from a dealer.

Your best option IMHO is to buy a second hand bike such as those above and capitalise on someone else's heavy financial loss. Bikes like these are a very expensive initial outlay and do not hold their value as there is such a tiny niche market for them. If you search around on BikePoint and Gumtree you should be able to find a very low kilometre second hand Hellbound Steel, Pro-One or Saxon in WA with rego for just over $30K.

Also worth while being aware that if you're buying a cookie cutter bike from a manufacturer such as Iron Horse, Big Dog, Hellbound Steel, Saxon, Pro-One or Big Bear Choppers, if the manufacturer is not already out of business they probably will be in the next few years so you'll need to bear that in mind with regards to future servicing and spare parts.
