I wasn't planning on doing any chopping. I was thinking about giving it new handle bars, head lamp, new seat and back fender. I want to make sure it is comfortable unlike many bobbers/chopper/cafe racers. I like some cafes but I was thinking about getting a gas tank that mounted higher on the frame like some harley's. I want to go the cheapest route possible to get this thing on the road.
