Just one caveat here.

Al (well, most of us) here on this site have preconceived ideas about what an Irinhead should be. There are guys who like choppers or Bobbers, Diggers or Dirt Trackers. We have some purists who know factory correct is the only true way and people who like rat bikes. (No, everyone likes them ). Some will be looking to turn a buck on the end result, others do it for the love of the bike and do not count the pennies.

Our advice is sometimes given with our goals in mind.
