Very nice Graham

Saw that Harley built up as a civilian bike a while ago Graham. It looked very nice too. It was sort of a classic custom/cafe racer, gave me an idea or two...

Been considering doing the Harley as a bike that a soldier took home. Nothing special, mainly civilian lights and simple paint job that sort of thing. Not sure yet as it is an iconic machine as an army vehicle and I don't do much military now so it would make a contrast to the Manx Norton. Certainly not going to attempt to convert the Triumph fiery seeing the absolutely superb build by Marudek

Never used these before but Alclads are getting harder to find so I thought I would give them a go. The Matt Aluminium should be ok for unpolished engine castings with the polished for covers etc. No idea what they are like but I will give them a try. Nothing I have seen yet beats Alclad Chrome. The Vallejo acrylic Metal Colour chrome isn't bad but really it is just a bright silver. Although very thin, you can brush paint small parts and do touch ups with it. I will report back on the AK chrome when I get to it.
