ModelMartin offers a 300mm tire conversion for Revell's choppers.

Before the Revell choppers were released, I machined triple clamps and forks for a soldered-copper frame.

I saw your post on this in the 'on the workbench' section and being the pic was so small I couldn't see the scale. As I now know it is 1/12th scale, I have to say you are almost on your own with these kits. You will have to either scratch, kit-modify, kitbash, or steal parts from other kits to get custom stuff for these bikes. I have 20 of the various IMEX 1/12th Harleys, and have had to make most of my own custom parts for them. Also a note worth mentioning here, the Revell 1/12th Harleys are bigger than the IMEX 1/12th pieces. Who is correct I do not know, but the size difference is VERY noticable.

Thank you. Guess it will be a learning process for me. Drew
