Howard, I really like your concept. If I did a build, I am looking for something that would be great on long trips, not something impractical. I don't need the giant front wheel. Seems like everyone went to that look and they are all starting to look the same.
I had not thought of a motorized windshield, but that is an incredible idea.

I had a friend who was gonna build his own chopper from the ground up, then he checked into the insurance and found out if he started with a Harley frame with a Harley VIN number, the insurance was a lot cheaper.
Something you might want to check out.

Building a bike from scratch is extremely satisfying. It's something I think every biker should do at least once.

Hey atrain,
My brother and I built this 2009 Police RK into his custom bagger.
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...r-project.html
It was stripped to the frame and motor, then reassembled.
Very few parts were bought new. Most were sourced from here, other forums, ebay, and swap meets.
Lowered front and rear. It has the Bob Drone fairing. A tourpak and batwing for longer trips.
Just some cams, air cleaner, mufflers, and a PCV with Autotune so far with the motor. That will change before this riding season.
The project was a hoot and we will do another just for giggles.
