You know where I look a lot, other than Google and vintage bike mags?

Ebay.

Search for "Harley paint sets". Order by price, most expensive first.

Just a thought.

How old are you looking for? What years? I used to be into the old bikes, restored a 51 pan and right now I'm helping my buddy put together a 45 knucklehead

That is Fn sweet! that just made the top of my list. I'd probably lose the gold and just put an old school emblem on the tank, but the rest is getting pretty damn close to what I had pictured in my head... Thanks, I saved that pic... Gonna be hard to hold off until the fall, but I wanted to get a good idea so I can take it to get priced and save some coin. I try to budget my mod money so I don't feel as guilty, lol.

... close ... but, no cigar ....



... nice nostalgic style Heritage Springer, though ... like the early tail light ...

Is the kickstarter faux ...? or does it also work with the electric starter ...?

1934 VL -

The decals are available on ebay and a couple other places. A 1930's paint scheme is on my list for the fall...
