Default major bummer...

Well after several months of research and plan I started to pull the trigger on my fxr build. I planned on getting a Chopperbguys twin cam fxr frame and a120R from GMR.

Tied calling chrppwr guy for several days and finally got a hold of them today. They are restructuring and off line for 3 months. Crap.

The grape vine told me HD is raising the 120R price next month due to heavy demand so I figure to move on that soon, but can't completely get behind that without a frame.

Oh well, guess it gives me time to find that salvage bike to start with.

Ok I will srop whinning now.

Well, for one I want a stock size tire - not a 180+, second the chopperguys beat the Paugho hands down in strength. The backbone on the Paugho just can't complete with the Chopperguys version. My engine builder hand used both and agrees...
