new with big ideas and an empty wallet

Hi all . had many bikes over the years moto x , enduro/green laners, track bikes , scooters ,sports etc . i currently have a ktm sx 85 in supermoto setup(2 stroke smell take me back to my childhood lol ) for track days and my work bike, vespa 300 gts.
i have been lurking about looking at various builds for a while and hopefully i can scrape some moneys together for a project over the winter .
I love the look of the various custom cub / street cub / what ever you want to call them . Id also like to build a green laner cub as i miss my enduro riding . Having two young kids empty your pockets very fast !
Anyways from what i have read the square headlight 12v are the easiest ones to start with so eventually i will be looking to grab one or 2 of those .
Is the 140 / 160 engine conversion pretty simple ? i wouldn't describe myself as a mechanic but I've changed variators and belts on peds , clutches on big bikes , swapped engines in pit bikes etc so i can mange the basics .
aAny links to enduro type builds would be greatly appreciated along with any other advice .
in the mean time i will continue lurking and data gathering !!
thanks
