Default 72 sportster bobber build

This is going too be my first bike build so I'm sure there will be a lot of trail and error, I've worked on cars before so hopefully ill now what I'm doing. Here's a list of parts I'm getting I'm sure ill add some more down the road.
Frame
Engine
Transmission
Oil tank
Primary/clutch
Forks
Gas tank
Carburetors
Fender
Wheels
Tires
Seat
Electronics/ignition
Handlebars/risers
Brakes
Controls
Sissy bar
Headlight
Taillight
Exhaust
Etc...........My build will look semi-like a early build of the Harley-Davidson and Marlboro man bike "black death" but with a red primered rigid frame and and smaller gas tank with older engine.
