Graupner Harley Davidson FLH 80 restored!

After finding the missing speedo, I started the restoration.

This bike took quite some time to restore cuz of the complicated paint pattern.

I wanted to give it a classic look so brown would be the perfect retro color.

To give it a nice shine, I coated the 'bodyparts' with a clear laquer and polished it to get rid of all the scratches and imperfections.

This was the most consuming task...

The signal lights were painted clear orange with Tamiya X-26 and the rear light with X-27.

Luckely, the original paint could be removed with oven cleaner...!

It now has a special place in my home...

Hope you like it.
