pococj,
LOL,......I figured I would get blasted for that, andmaybe rightfully so. ..... Maybe it would have been best if I should have stated that I enjoy simplicity,.... which is why I prefer the Fuel Injected bikes.

The Evo is a little less expensive to build from scratch,since I have built both motors.R&R and S&S are both great choices,and you can save a lot of money assembling them yourself.I am a carb person since that is all I ever have owned and know them inside and out.No matter what you choose as long as it put together right,coast to coast rides are no problem.Good Luck!

I've never had a problem with my carbed 05 Night Train.

RE: Building custom; Evo or TC?
A year ago, I would have said I'd use a big Fatas$ S&S Evo.. But now since TC's are so well established and there's equal if not more aftermarket for TC chassis, drivetrains, etc, I'd probably build a big Fatter-As$ TC or TC clone that would pull tree stumps.

I like the Pan ora Shovel over the EVO or TC, but in the end its going to be up to you to decide which one"looks" best and will perform the way you want/need that's important.

RE: Building custom; Evo or TC?
i stilllike th eST style frame
leaning toward a TC 110 with gear drive with carb, though a TB FI is pretty simple too
there is a new very tunable carb i saw on TV one night that is like FI but all adjustmments are manual on the carb itself
