Re: Harley Samurai Chopper

Finally begun to paint .. I started the engine last week and continued with the chassis and the superstructure. I started with a basic uniform glossy black, then sprayed with clear gloss (protecting parts in polished brass with tape). So I painted with Alclad chrome rear fender and I finally made ​​a special treatment with oil paints to simulate "vintage" leather.

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper

This is awesome. Very nice built and great work on the detailing. Just one question. I can't see a battery. Did you forget it or is it just not there when using a kickstarter?

Great work

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper

Good point .. the battery is a bit 'in the subjective world of custom .. We say that a chopper with a modern engine requires mandatory battery, and a motorcycle with an engine older can afford not to mount any battery, but at the expense of flickering bulbs

Re: Harley Samurai Chopper

The samurai still lacks little to be finally completed, so these days I'm focused more on the diorama with other harley acclimatized along the route 66..
