How bout this one ?On one of the Cali chromers websites are photos of the entire 5-layer chroming process. The first layer is copper.
That got me thinking how cool would it be to get a black Fury and have all of the items we're getting in chrome - including the items that come on the bike that are chrome - and doing a copper bike.
Not as cool as OCC's "Statue of Liberty" bike, but not nearly the price, either!

That's impressive as all getout. But, it ain't as sexy as a chopper"The Circuit Rider" Lincoln Bicentennial Motorcycle designed by Kim Shirley of Kim's Auto Body Inc., Springfield, IL.
They originally asked OCC and the price was way too much, the body shop stepped up and said they could do it, The wheels are one offs made by Extreme Machine here in Jacksonville, the pegs are slave shackles, the brake pedal is a USA Civil War belt buckle, there is a replica of the derringer that killed Lincoln on it, the pipes are made to look like logs (Lincoln is the "Rail Splitter"), the intake is Lincoln w/ stove pipe hat. I have seen this bike on display all over Illinois at the HD dealers, the museum and the state fair, and it always amazes me. But it probably doesn't have more than 100 miles on it. Side note, one of the "custodians" of this bike rides a VTX 1800F.
Diddlin' around in PhotoShop, so far I've come up with this:
