OK finally got mine finished. Not sure if the photos do it justice but I would recommend this bike to anyone. I am useless at things like this but it wotked out fine-I think.

Guess the time is right to release, Some trimming may be needed though.

And some Arnie on bike shots

Is there another way I can get this licence plate? I am having serious issues with Filedropper....

Well, after seeing this, I just had to do it. $500 on eBay (way more than I wanted to pay for a kit), but I finally secured a Fatboy for Arnold.

Damn, is that for the older 16029 version, is it that rare? I was contemplating this (I haven't even received my first Termintator yet) and estimated I could get the Fatboy Lo, the Honda CB750 and the BMW R90 for close to $500 + shipping.

 

[Iceman36]

500??? Did you buy the old Fatboy?

 

[SilentSurfer]

Yes, I bought the old kit. Less work to modify, and it has the decals + replacement decals.

Yep pretty much considering it came out in 2001 I think, Regarding modifying a Lo, You could make a few changes here and there but it still wouldn't be the one from the movie.

Is this the Tamiya Fatboy?

of course it is rare, as most of them are already assembled long ago )

Is this the Tamiya Fatboy?

Yes, that is the Tamiya. That's the build up on Yahoo Japan Auctions. At the moment it's about $600, if I'm converting that right. It even comes with accurate side bags. If I hadn't gotten mine already, I'd probably be drooling to buy this one, even though it looks like the decals didn't go on quite perfectly.

I just got my kit from Japan yesterday. The box was way bigger than I thought it would be. Everything inside was mint and sealed and the decals look brand new. Holy cow what a lot of parts though. Man, I can't wait to play with it.

I also picked up the Honda CB 750 and the BMW R90S kits to do the T1 bike. Both kits together cost about as much as just the Fatboy. I've got lots of bike building in my future.

i had the same situation.
first i was depressed by the idea that i have to pay for BMW more than for Honda, while needing just several parts from it.
but then i told myself that i'd spend the same if Honda already came with all needed parts - and so justified the purchase )
though i was lucky to spend 20% less than you had to in both cases. why wouldn't Tamiya just remake them both with modern materials, they could be all sold out in a short time.

I'd love to have a pristine one like that. Mine is dusty and weathered looking - no bad thing for movie accuracy, but its a beautiful bike and a clean new looking one would be nice too. Also mine has a few issues, not least that I've broken the handle bars off about 10 times at this point. Also a previous owner (maybe the previous owner) glued the tires to a base and must have then ripped it off. My seller didn't mention this in the description. I really should have complained about that but I was too stoked to have THE Tamiya Harley.

Exactly the one, it doesn't mention Tamiya in the description or maybe it does and my japanese comprehension (which is nonexistant) isn't good enough to see it.

What I want to know is where are people getting the 9A7218 license plate decal? I assume that's movie accurate, and I know it doesn't come with the kit.
