60 k does not go far in custom bikes anymore
 A buddy of mine, most of his builds had 25-50 k in parts, usually at least 500 -1000 hrs or more into them.

I just about crapped when he told me today that he has thousands. Into his flattrack, it's nice but I really did not think about what he put into it..
 So I found him another core bike today..lol

Hate to think how much time and money I've poured into the Interceptor and it was only bid up to $7500 on feebay. That wouldn't cover labour at minimum wages.

Seems like I saw $78,000 for one of those bikes in the article.

With that much to invest I'd take twenty of these, even though I might not buy one if I had $4k.

yep, i also don't like the branding they slather all over their bikes, but i'm sure their customers are in for that.
