EXCITING Winter Mods

Got this puppy for Christmas. Scale model of 2002 Low Rider. Mine is a 2006 but the 2002 is pretty close.

It all started when I decided to make a couple mods so it will look more like my bike.

I cut the stock pipes to look like Vance&Hines.

Then I made a license plate that looks like mine.

Went to craft store and bought small brushes, some gray paint, and some chrome paint.

What's in the works:

Paint dash silver

Paint lower belt guard silver

Paint license plate bracket silver and install license plate

Repaint pin striping gray

Relocate rear directionals

Think I'll pass on the windshield and bags (at least for now).

My wife is probably right - I am certifiable.

It's about 5" long. Think that is 1:18 scale.

scale models

I got this a few months ago, its a 1:10 Franklin mint job, silly women I bought it off only wrapped it in bubble wrap and a soft post pack so a few bit broke off but I should be able to glue them back on, the detail on these bikes is incredible, it came with handcuffs a helmet and a first aid kit, I also have a Heritage softail the same scale that I got back in 1993. They dont make many dynas unfortunately but would love to get a Streetbob
