I wanted to model a medium priced custom bike that one might see on the road or at a local bike show. Both fenders are skirted and the tank is sculptured. The pipes were modified and painted with Duplicolor Metalcast gray. Scratchbuilt mirrors with chrome mylar faces.

Fender supports were scratchbuilt. Tailights and front turn signal lights came from 4 kits. Actually, it isn't really finished - I'm waiting for the primary drive with clutch and pully detail from Reps & Mins.

Thanks for looking.

Cut the fork pivot off. Drill a hole through the bottom of the lower tripletree so that you can insert a plastic or aluminum rod during final assembly. Cut the new rod to a length that doesn't stick out the bottom so it can't be seen. When the bike is assembled, you won't see the hole/rod,,,,uh,,,,unless you display your bikes upside down :wink:

Yawn. Just another bike from Lyle. :wink:

Looking forward to checking out your stable-full of bikes in Joisey this March! The "Motorcycles" class is going to be packed, I think!
