Default General Size..

I've been wondering if the size of the harley models have scaled down...
Seems there smaller than I remember.

Does anyone have old specs on the older bikes as opposed to the new ones?

I'd swear the old HydraGlide Dad had was bigger.

I agree! I went back to my old stompin grounds a couple of years ago and checked out the park I used to play in when I was a kid. I thought to myself "Man this park's a lot smaller than I remember!" then I looked around and HELL, the whole neighborhood had shrunk!
