Angry I Need A V-twin!!!!!!!

I'm making a scratchbuilt chopper and I need a V-Twin, I know some of you are thinking, if you bought it then it wouldnt be scratchbuilt, but I have tried and tried and tried to make one, nothing works.

Who knows where I could buy a 1/9 V-Twin?

or

Who knows a company that sells 1/9 V-Twins?

Its to hard to scratch build a motor. It is hard enough to do what I did. Checkout the pics.

That is one sweet bike! How did you scratchbuild the tires?





Revell made a couple of snap tight Harleys a few years back and I believe they are 1/9th scale. One was a Fat Boy and the other was a Springer Softtail. You might still be able to find one at a "good" hobby shop or E-Bay.

After watching "American Chopper---The Series" I've been wanting to do one of those.
Especially since I can't afford one...yet.

The rear tire is a RC tire by HPI, thanks for all the comments.
