Buy a running/driving bike in rough shape. Buy a shop manual and tear the bike down to every last nut an bolt. Clean everything, inspect/rebuild the motor/transmission, repaint it, replace the cables/rubber/seals/gaskets. From there, build a chopper out of an old beater. Buying a chopper kit for $10,000 with no previous building experience is a horrible idea.

Start with tearing bikes first and rebuilding them and it will all sort of make sense in 5-10 years.
