New member just finished my first ever chopper build
Hey guys I am new to the site and choppers but I decided about a year ago to finlly build my own custom chopper from the ground up. I purchased the frame and all the parts last january and for the last year and 3 months I have been building this bike on my own. The only thing I didnt do was the paint. The bike has a ultima 113" with a primo 6 speed and a BDL open belt drive. The body and seat were all fully molded by me and the speedo was placed in the fuel tank. The bike has a 300 rear wheel and 23" front with inverted forks and all line have been routed internally along with a streamline internal throttle. I would love to hear what you guys think GOOD and BAD and I am also thinking about putting it up for sale so I can start another build and keep buiding and selling as I love to build... So what do you guys think and what do you think I should ask for price wise.

not much of a market for custom bikes like that.
price wise add up the parts (not labor) divide it in half and work down
so say $40,000 in parts ask $20,000 take maybe $15,000 - $17,500.
not being a smart ass just the reality of what the market is now

nice scooter welcome to cc!
In todays market you might be better of using your build to showcase your talents and do builds that the customer can be involved in or at least have them pre sold before you build them

If I had 35, I would pay it for that bike. Thats a really nice bike for your first build.
