Coming from a Japanese sportbike/flat track background (also Spanish Ossa and Bultaco) considering building a 45 bobber using a purchased rolling chassis. Have little to no knowledge about Harley stuff except the XR750, My first mission is to find out what engines will fit in a 45 rolling chassis other than a flathead (if any) without extensive chassis mods. Looking forward to learning a lot here. If you have an answer to my first question, thanks in advance.

Welcome from Spartan Country, Michigan! I tell a lot of new comers to the forum to get: Factory Service manual and the Parts manual. Take to an office supply store and have them put a spiral binder in place of the glued binder. That will let the manuals lay flat on your bench. Get a three ring binder and record all your maintenance, repairs, accessories, etc. This will be a great reminder of what was done when. And great material to pass along to the new owner should you sell and upgrade. Also know how large your fuel tank is, a rough idea of your range per tank, and record your fuel usage. I have an app called Simply Auto that I record all my fuel used. I use the odometer and use the fuel gage as reference only. I reset the odometer to zero on fill ups, and I know I can safely get 200 miles on a tank on around town riding, and upwards of 230+ on trips.
