Make sure whatever frame you get it has an MSO...even then it may be a pain to title....I'm sure you're well aware of these issues though.

Doublecheck on Demon...I may have heard bad things about them qualitywise but could have been a different company.

I think your budget is realistic as long as drivetrain doesn't get out of hand. I bought my Harley as a basket case but complete and I'm almost finished. Best advice is to mock up EVERYTHING before you paint/powder parts. I had to go back and cut my oil tank off because I didn't have the drive chain on when I welded it in place. I'm also still having alignment issues with my rear wheel to the trans sprocket.
