Harley Davidson Streetglide 1:10

[Bricksonwheels]

With a pile of orange left over from the SD40-2 locomotive build, I thought it was nice to build a fresh orange bike. There is only one type of bike that I really like and that is a Harley, and then mostly the baggers.

This 1:10 is made out of 100% genuine Lego bricks, partly retro-chromed industrially. The big 26'' frontwheel conversion is seen a lot these days, as it is a custom trend for a while now. Many radical custom bikes drive bigger wheels upto even 30 inch. It's odd, but looks cool.

Just an example of a big wheel converted custom Harley (picture Roaring Toyz):

My eyes are melting from the awesome beauty! Orange + chrome = win!

Very good recreation of the real thing.

[Awaken_M1nd]

Brilliant MOC as allways!

[MajklSpajkl]

That is just unbelieveable!!! Chromed parts really match the orange! I guessing you have a whole bucket of chromed parts. How much are they subjected to scratches?

[Milan]

Great, it would be awesome entry for MT.

[Rijkvv]

Yes, but wouldn't be allowed since it uses custom-chromed parts.

But still this is a great creation! Nice colour choice.

I saw this on flickr this morning, what a beauty! The orange color sceme is wonderful.

Excelent MOC,

[Kelkschiz]

Sweeeeeeet!

[darsedz]

incredible, nice color scheme

[grum64]

Very, very cool

[BusterHaus]

Fantastic MOC. Put me in the camp of those who love the orange and chrome.

[drdesignz]

Amazing, as always!

The chrome is awesome on that!

It looks really retro, with the big wheel.

Just like the real thing

[Kierna]

I really like the bodywork

May I say, however, that the motor needs to be more accurate. It doesn't really look like a Twin Cam Evolution motor at all. Chrome bricks do not a motor make

My credentials to offer critique, you might ask?

I'd be happy to share a motor design or two

[jantjeuh]

I guess it's a bit harder to make the motor accurate on a smaller scale

[Bricksonwheels]

Thnx for all the nice comments!

Kierna: Thnx for the compliment on the bodywork. You have made quite an effort on your LDD bike as well. I like your cylinders, but have to fight you back a bit

I honestly think mine looks much more real then yours, especially compared to scale. Yours doesn't even have a decent exhaust (yet?). My engine is only about 40 mm, which is very small compared to yours which is at least 3 times bigger. The whole bike could pack three times more detail as well at your big scale.

About the engine itself: this is the late 90's 88 cu engine seen on the heritage versions (the picture is only about the big wheel, not the bike I replicated), it has common relocated battery, 6 speed custom gearbox, and mirrored exhaust setup, as seen a lot in de hands of modern customizers.

Is this within 46 studs of length?

If so, and if you can replace the chrome by gray, you could modify it to comply to the rules of the Model Team competition. I'd try it, you'd make good chances I think :)

[Bricksonwheels]

Can't live without chrome Erik ... :classic:

[Kierna]

Bricksonwheels, your bikes have good bodywork, I just think they deserve more accurate engines. The motor is a very important part of any Harley Davidson

If you want some motor designs just ask. Think of it as putting in a 100cui S&S engine when the old faithful Evo 80 Harley motor blows the big end bearings after a big burnout

[Chapachuk]

Your bike is way more interesting than Kiernas. You put a lot of effort and good ideas in it and its a lot harder to do a model in that scale. Everybody can show off with a shipload of bricks.
