unknown H-D moto kit, built, need to ID

[fiatboy]

Hi.  I have a built model of a Harley, and I need the instructions, so I can dis-assemble it and restore it.  Don't know anything about this kit.  Thanks

That looks like an Imai Art Harley-Davidson Street Fighter kit# 523437.  According to Scalemates, it was also sold as an Imai FXS Springer Type kit# B-2150-2000 kit, a Revell Harley-Davidson FXS Springer Custom kit# 07975

I have the B-2150-2000 kit.  I'm not sure what the rules are, but I can scan the instruction sheet.

Yeah, Nolan, that would be great.  If you want to "regular mail" it to me, my address is:  Jeff Bolthouse, 4486 Brookmere SE, Kentwood, MI  49512.  Wow, thanks for all the helpful info.

Great job identifying it Nolan.  The only thing I had to offer was that it looked like an Imai 1/12 kit.  It looks like it was issued a number of times with later issues having different front wheels.  
And Jeffrey you got a cool piece to restore. It’s fun to breathe new life into a previously built kit.  It looks like you’ve got most if not everything.  If you need any parts I have a few 1/12 motorcycle pieces in my “junkyard” so perhaps I can help but my parts may not be from an Imai.  
Anyhow  I’d love to see it redone your way.  Take it easy guys.-Mark

OK to close this thread.

Yes, it is a 1:12 Imai kit. I built it several years ago.  I replaced the plastic spokes in the front wheel with thin brass rod spokes.
