RKBA Harley
« on: June 02, 2009, 07:32:21 PM »
Haven't been around much lately, but one of my projects is worth sharing:

My Harley is officially back on the street after years of neglect and storage in a garage in New Jersey. Although many parts were a bit rusted, the chrome looked bad and the engine was rough, the RKBA custom tank I had done about 12 years ago was still in great shape!

1996 XL1200S



..

Yes, if I re-did it today, at least one side would be a Glock....  ;):



..

Because Fighting Terrorism is the Way We Roll....



..

Tank Paint job was inspired by one of my oldest tats (the center of which has become the defacto CFS logo...) :

Glad you got that "issue" with Tony Soprano worked out to get the bike back. ;)

Run the Flitz on the chrome, fresh gas, and put some MILES on the tires. She'll come back like grampa's 1911..  8)

Not bad Rob, not bad.....love the short wheel base of the Sportsters.  You can toss 'em around a little. 

Unfortunatly, guys my size, 6'1" and 240lbs, make a Sporty look like a Schwinn...

Be safe...and if she's been sitting a while, be sure to check the rubber. ;)

Yep... Scrawny guys like me can get away with Sportsters.... :)

Tires are new and she got a complete overhaul/safety check before hitting the road again.

 My riding is the thing that needs the most polishing now!

Sportsters can be made into some badass rides due to the weight factor along with the wheelbase. I couldn't get away with it. I had an old Yamaha 650 as a first bike (only cost $400) and I looked like a circus bear on a bicycle.

Nice paint work.
A little polish and some denatured alcohol will work the kinks out of the chrome.
Nice to know it's seeing daylight again.

Ride safe, Rob..................and all other riders.

Pegleg...do you still get the urge to ride?  I sure do, especially this time a year on those sunny spring days!  It aches sometimes... :'(

You guys are killing me... VA is a "must wear" state... so I have both a "real" helmet and an acceptably comfortable one (yeah... I know, it is like carrying a .22lr for self defense.....).

Compared to the Duc, this Hog is a Pig, but it does have upgraded cam, carb, pistons, ignition, exhaust and the "s" models come with front and rear adjustable suspension and dual front discs (the reason I went with this model). I'm probably going to change the bars to something that offers better control also when the Duc project is finished.....
