Building a Custom Bike - parts suggestions please.

[BliarOut]

There's hundreds out there. Just punch "chopper chassis" or "chopper frame" into Google.

My uncle, an keen biker, plans to build a custom bike from 3rd party supplied components, by fitting them into a standard chassis. a freind told him a new chassis can be bought off-the-shelf as it were, but if he cant find such a thing, his brother will weld one up from steel tubeing etc. so he asked me to ask here for any recommendations as to what good parts he should buy. the he's designed is a basic street bike, halfway between a cruiser an a tourer, tho less bulky an more frugal, as he's no hells angel! so far its been suggested to buy... suspension by ohlins tyres by avon rubber brakes by brembo ems by bosch

For that spec, tell him to save his time and just buy an Aprilia Tuono (sp?)
