discussion 1/12,Harley - Davidson,Black Sppecial / Fat Boy,

[monica]

this kit is by Harley-Davidson,
This is, will BE, my second 1,12 scale bike,and made even more famous ,As the bike from terminator 2
with guess who,Arnold Schwarzenegger and his Harley Fat Boy 1990,
It was the last swap meet of the year and very lucky for me picked this up for $20.oo AUD,so one
happy girl was I,
made a bit of a start today,after doing the gardening,
have primed the engine,and frame ,them a top coat of Vallejo,aluminum ,and a stain coat of black,
so will start with the engine in the morning,
hope you like my pick,and enjoy the build,
the last pick is what I,m going for in a look for this build,
and maybe next bike after this will be Darrel and his bike, from the Walking Dead start looking about for a bike and figure,

this morning update on this,have most of the engine together,need to touch up some of the paint work,
before adding the chrome cover,s
have the frame together ,as well,needs some decals,added,which ,I will do once the glue is set,
so that's were I,m att,at the moment have to go out all day so ,

not to sure what part B7 is ,I,m thinking some type of springs,aand don,t know what color they should be ?
any help plz,

 

[Guest]

I'm thinking part b7 might be part of the gearbox mounts. I'd go with black.

 

[monica]

Good Stuff so far Monica. I'm watching this one.

I've owned a couple of Harley's in the past.............. They look great, really enjoyed riding them. But they are engineered for cr4p.

 

[monica]

ta Peter,very happy that you do like this one,I,m enjoying it so far,
that would of been nice,have a couple of them,all the chaps,I know who have them ,work the
engine,s so maybe that,s why there not getting to much problem with them,

Monica part # b7 is the shock assy for the rear swingarm. The 'canisters' would be black as would the frame crossmembers molded to the part., the rest chrome.
Ridden and built Harleys most of my life, working in a custom chopper shop.
Going well!

It's not so much problems. They are generally reliable if looked after. But out of the factory? they leave a lot to be desired......... Back to your build. Looking sharp.

I,think most bikers like to work them and get that thumping sound,so you can hear them a mile off,a few mouths back ,saw oh,well over 250,yes I know a lot,
but it was,that amount,as the club was going to a funeral of one of the members,best site I had seen in year and in these,s number as ,most bike gangs have ,
been outlawed hear and not able to meet or wear there colors,but this lot,well,full colors and if Mr bobby real was going to stop them,
but on the other hand Melbourne police do like to shoot as well,
ta real happy your liking this so far,

[Pikeman]

I will have a scout about for you

Which bike as he had two in the show a triumph and a Honda but both were custome built for the show so not original bikes

 

[monica]

this morning progress have all the chrome added to the engine,rear wheel in,adding the
pluming as I,per-instructions,makes it easy to do,
before moving onto the front forks ,have paint the guards,tank and seat,waiting for the paint to dry,
happy with how this is,going so far,well hope your liking it,
