my version of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle..Fatboy 1/6 scale from tamiya. my first time to build a harley..i followed the layout of the cables and wiring but it seems they're all over the front suspension. a personal touch..a scartchbuilt tassle on the handlebars and seat. the disc brakes and rims are clean. i'm planning to weather them a little but..i like them clean. actually it's not yet done. is there any 1/6 scale figure (female biker) that i can pose with the harley? thank you ladies and gentlemen.

i lowered the rear suspension alittle..i can lower it a little more but it will strain the suspension arm with spring..i put a rubber stopper between them. maybe next time i'll custom-made a harley. hope you like it ladies and gentlemen.

Yes, keep her clean.
You did such an excellent job on this bike it is easy to picture it sitting in a dealership showroom.
Or with the right female figure sitting in an 'Easyrider' magazine photoshoot

That's a mean boy you got there. You did a great job and i like all the little detail you added. Keep it clean...as a bike rider I never seen a dirty Harley. As for a female figure, you can use Barbie or any other 12' figures. I remember seeing Barbie dressed up in a bikers outfit once.
