Another Harley–Way Different Look!


Recommended Posts

This started out as the Testors 1/9 scale Harley Springer Softail Classic. Frame, fork, etc. is semi-gloss black, gas tank and fender is "Odds'n'Ends" Pewter. Among the changes I made:

Gave the fork a rake to give it a more "chopperish" look.

Left off the front fender, mirrors and turn signals.

Seat is semi-scratchbuilt; it's the kit seat with all the unwanted parts cut away, seat springs are bent paper clip wire, front seat pivot attachment bracket is made of thin sheet aluminum with a pinhead "bolt."

Rear fender is cut down from the kit piece, fender stays are paper clip wire, taillight from the parts box.

The graphics on the sides of the gas tank are actually unused graphics from a 1/32 WWI French Neuport fighter plane, whitewalls are painted on with acrylic craft paint.

I ran out of tubing, so the brake and speedometer cables are missing, I'll have to look around to see if I have more cable material. Also... I just realized the headlight isn't there. Ooops. I'll glue it on later! :)
