2018 Harley-Davidson FLHC

What was your intended objective when you started the build?

I am really fond of the WLA WWII bikes so I wanted less chrome and more blacked out with the olive paint.

What motivated you to start your project?

I wanted an older school look.

What was the most unique and creative thing you did to the bike?

Nothing so far, but I am going to have the seats recovered in tanned leather like the WLA had.

What are you most proud of?

Everything assembled and tuned myself so far even though I have never owned a Harley before.

What do other people say about your motorcycle?

They love the look and tell me how badass it looks when riding with a naked rear fender.
