Default Suppertrapp or Thunderheader?

Hi!
I wanna built a XL super bike :tour No more Mr. Niceguy to the rice rocket riders!
The general idea it to pick a XL and then install a S&S 89"XLSS kit, Dyna 2000i ignition, better shocks/suspension, upgrade the brakes, maybe a Ness cafe racer fairing and a 2-1 exhaust system (already have a 1980 XLS1000 gas tank - 4gallons + tach - for the extra juice and look).
And there's the problem: wich one is best, Supertrapp or Thunderheader? There are plenty dealers who offer me Supertrapp in Europe, but what about Thunderheader?
Until now I can only find them in the USA and theat means extra costs and warranty problems if anything goes wrong :frownone
I'm also thinking of getting the frame and swing arm chromed for that special vintage look :banana
Hope you can give me a hand on this!

I havea Supertrapp on my Buell. Nice sound to it, but prone to the front and rear brackets snapping.
