Bringing Back the Old School Feel in Harley-Davidson Bikes

Reviving the Slim Look with the Harley-Davidson Seventy-Two


                                                  Looking at the metal flake bike from Harley Davidson
                                                  will bring you back to the time of the custom bike years.
                                                  It will bring you back to the time when cool kids rode
                                                  sting rays while the big boys filled the curb with custom
                                                  bikes. Those bikes were slimmer and longer than most
                                                  bikes of today. They sported a shiny look having that
                                                  red tone flaked finish reflecting the summer rays of the
                                                  sun. From the fork, white-walled wheels, to the
                                                  glittering body, the Harley Davidson Seventy-Two is the
best icon of the time when custom bikes were the hottest trend scooting along Whittier Blvd
which until today is still alive as ever and still called by locals as route 72. Modern bike builders
find inspiration from this custom bike culture where it spawns new ideas for builders around the
US and even the world.


Bikes from that time were colorful, shiny, glittery, slim and stripped down, leaving the internal
parts of the bike exposed showing off its detailed specifications. Looking back to these type of
bikes in their time will amaze you how slimmer and longer they are from most bikes today. They
were so slim that they literally look like bicycles. It has been a common trend for bike builders in
the California scene.

A popular design back then was the metal flake paint. It has been so popular that they use it in
many applications. Everything glitters and shines at that time. The Harley Davidson Seventy-Two
brings back that feeling with intricate finishes and components that make this bike amazingly old
school. To make the metal flake finish, builders spray several layers of paints on the metal body.
A black primary coat mixed with polyeutherane, and hexagon shaped flakes are all mixed in
standard commercial paint.


The finishing touch for this one is the logo on the gas tank and pinstripe scallop fixtures on the
front and back fenders. Every design on the Seventy-Two is hand crafted, just like what builders
do in the old school days. To get that authentic feel, decals are manually set into place. A clear
coat is applied to the decal to protect it from fading and corrosion. The power train painted with a
gray powder base coat matched with a chrome cover adds to the motor's vintage look. A vintage
Sportster gas tank wraps up the last look on the Seventy-Two.


An Easy Ride with a Vintage Look with the Harley-Davidson Softail Slim


The Slim is basically a stripped down version of the Softail but with attitude. At first look, you'll
think that it is basic and dull. Having shorter fenders, you may describe it being barely naked,
old-fashioned, lean and mean. It captures the vintage look and the custom bobbers of the 1950s.


To keep the old feel of having a simple rear end, the tail signal lights combined and the license
plate holder on the side. The rear fender struts are kept open to expose the insides of the bike
like fasteners and other parts. Leather straps cover the gas tank seam. The cylinders are retained
to sport the black look.


The Slim has a wide curve and cross brace bar, which was actually first used in Harley-Davidson
bikes as an accessory. The idea may have started when people started using cross braces to
mount extra lights and accessories even though most of it really do not have any use. A cross
braced bar painted in a glossy black finish paired with the cat's eye gas tank of the same color is
installed to the Slim. To enhance the vintage look, an old-fashioned speedometer, half-moon foot
boards, round-old-style air filter cover, and glossy black rims and hubs are installed as well. To
top that entire vintage look, the seat covers are sewn in a tuck and roll style.


A tightly fixed Twin Cam 103B engine within the frame provides the bond between the rider and
the machine. The chassis imitates the clear lines of a retro hard tail body, but uses back-end
shock absorber management systems delivered by coiled shocks mounted horizontally and
hidden from the frame rails.
