Talk me off the ledge

I lurked here years before I joined and have valued all of your opinions.

A 7 year itch perhaps but I find myself considering a radical change, selling my baby (04 flstfi - 1st harley) and building the Bobber I've always wanted... I ride often but I'm not an iron butt (rigid will work)...I need to hear that I'm out of my fukn mind . . .please, temporary insanity might be at play..
Sell this:

Build this (w/black rims):

Keep the fatboy and find a way to do the bobber too. That thing is too nice to let go of for a project. Pick up parts one at a time until you have everything. If it takes 10 years, it takes 10 years. So be it.

Build a bobber out of the Fat Boy. It's pretty easy and you can sell the parts off the Fat Boy for a nice price to help with the conversion. Seen some bobbers with the Fat Boy frontends that looked damn sharp too!!
