Very tidy engineering work. The end result will divide opinion,but I admire the craft involved.

Lego bike would have a drive belt and not a chain. The chain looks a bit out of place.

Nice
But it's a fragile buell
And it's tiny

Err...
I think I quite like that one.





There, I've said it.
Thankfully its a million miles away from the image of most Harleys though.

Are those frame tubes bolted to the headstock and swing arm mount?

If so, that's a lot of stress going through them. Hopefully there's more than one and the pieces don't just butt up against each other.

Not sold on that one at all ....... plus its a Buell which means as soon as the engine is started bits will fall off randomly due to vibration

No vibrations at all and thanks to frame rigidity all the power goes to the rear wheel

The frame has been engineered. In total there are 24 bolts and the tubes go inside the front and rear block. Bike runs good
