Default RE: Need some TC advice!

Had an 01 Ultra, 124" Zipper built TC with a Baker 6 spd. Loved it.
In your shoes, I'd just upgrade the EVO to a 113, 121 or 124, and ROCK ON.
But I am 'stuck' in the ol' days. Just sayin'. Plus I are a cheep a$$. Why buy it if'n I can build it cheaper. And you defintiely sound like the "build it" kinda guy.
Good luck, and I know how that $$ thing goes. Needed $$ for the biz when we expanded, and it came down to the pan or the Ultra, Please see sig pic.
Now I gots yet another relic, 78 FLH, getting ready (hopefully this week) to roll out of the grudge. S'posed to be our "Road Warrior", we'll see how it goes. Actually, trying to work and trade our way to another Ultra, but it will be a 124" or walk. The scoot has GOT TO BE ABLE to get out of it's own way, to me.
Stupid ?, why do all these guys put a 113, 121, 124, etc, in an FX series or custom 'street' frame? Put it in a bagger, it NEEDS it, and throw in the comfort on top, GREAT combo, IMFUO.
