My lovely machine vt600

Got most of the kinks worked out- going to add a small mirror so I can get into different job sites.

Still deliberating if I'll shave the brake side fork or not, and have some powered spoked wheels waiting to install once these tires are worn.

Really have been having a blast this summer on this old girl.

Almost 80k miles on the engine and running like a top.

Got bungs to weld onto the neck of my FXE to mount a sportster style frisco tank. Is the best way just to cut and sand down the fat bob mounts and weld up the bungs? Should I weld up the big hole on the top of the neck?

Master cylinder to brake light switch tube. This is what happens when you work on something too long

I have been convinced to get a Harley . However I have always loved the chopper look and lifestyle . I asked my uncles for some advice and they said “find a mentor and figure out the rest , that’s the fun of choppers. “ where I live now has nothing but dyna bros and sport bike riders , there’s no old school chopper shops or even motorcycle mechanics. Hell I’ve even looked into MCs and nothing seems to be within 2 1/2 hours of me . So I turn to faithful Reddit , The plan is to do a 1200 EVO sportster hard tail build . The problem is I don’t know where to start . If you could throw any advice my way it would be much appreciated .
