"tough crowd" you're being nice. Be a forward thinker and do what you really want. If I were given one I would do the same. What are you supposed to do, hang on to it for another 20years and sell it as all origianl. By then it wont be original if you ride it. Hey, it's your bike, remember that. No one has to ride it but you. I would love to see what you eventually wind up doing with it. Check out acmechoppers for a frame or choppa something or other in Mass. I can't think of their name right now. Good luck.
