Default Wanting to get started on a custom bobber

So I've been riding for a couple years and have been thinking about building my own custom bobber for several years now. Well I finally have a good job and time to spend building one so I'm coming on here to try and find advice. I'm putting a link into this post to show what I'm looking to build. The main difference is that I want my bike to be a full size bike and not a kikker 5150. So what I hope to find on this forum is what frame and powertrain combination would be best to create this as well as where I might be able to procure them. I realize that it won't be cheap but I don't mind rebuilding a motor myself or doing my own fabrication. So if anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance from a new member
