I want to build a chopper

by Bubba
(Mississippi)

I would like any advice on how to get started with a softail or ridgid or softail frame. I am 6'8" weight 280lbs and want to be able to be comfortable. I like the 300 size rear tire not sure for the front. I am a nurse but raced dirt bike years ago so any help with manuals or books or dvd's, anything to help me. I live in Mississippi
Thank you for any help y'all can give,
Bubba
