Thanks, all! That is really encouraging. I should note a couple of things:

1. The model should have been dinged another half-a-point for not including a kick-stand. As it is, a two-wheeled vehicle is an inherently unstable design and the model does tend to fall over quite a bit causing damage to the delicate parts.

2. I shamelessly stole the idea for a kick-stand from Billy L.'s build. I used some spare pieces to not only create a side kick-stand but also a central stand underneath as a backup to prevent the model from falling.

3. I also shamelessly stole the idea of brake and clutch cables from Billy. I split a three wire power cord into its component cables, drilled a hole into each of the handles and glued the cables on. The right hand cord then went to the front disk brake and the left hand cord went to the engine (I did not run it to the gear box). I have no idea if the real Harley has exposed cables or not, but the effect looks nice.

Happy belated St. Patrick's day all.

Phil
