You're welcome. Yeah, I have a feeling its a careful turn on one like that if it was real.

My real Harley looks much like your red bike,only mine's black. Not a chopper,not a dresser,just a big fat stripped down Harley. Harley called them Sport Solos
Throw a pic of your bike in here if want, I love Harley's, I just know I can't get on one, so I do the next best thing. I build little ones.

I didn't find any of that out about the cleaner\degreasers till I got into the RC Scale world, but I think the modelers started 1st. The "Greased Lightning" does just that, it strips it really quick compared to the Purple Power.

The older models were so much more detailed. I have several more coming. I plan on trying to make the Harley Drag Bike we were talking about.

Funny thing after you mentioned the Drag Bike the other day, I found one on ebay that night for 349.00 and it had the wrong rear rim, and who knows what else, I wanted it so bad, but I talked myself out of it.

A couple pics before I call it a day here. The seat, gas tank, sissy bar are not glued on yet.











I'm trying to make handlebars, but I may wait till these 2 other Harley models show up, I may steal a set from one of those.
