I'm not into Harleys, but that piece looks great. The workmanship
looks good and it seems like a unique item. I'll bet a HD fanatic
would love one.

and also how could a person sell
something like this other then ebay,

A direct website, via catalogs catering to HD enthusiasts, or at biker
events and shows? Stock car races and car shows might also be good
places. At events, a card with a good photo and the web address could
prove to be a good marketing tool.

Offering up a freebie as a charity fund raiser raffle prize at a local
event might also be a good marketing tool. I know my buddies who ride
bikes with engines seem to always be at charity rides. A tax pro
could instruct you if and how to write off the value of the donation.

Start a buzz about them, make sure to attach YOUR BRAND NAME! Is a
West Coast or Orange County chopper simply another custom bike? Those
guys all started small. G

might also have some ideas. Check your local library for it.

Looks more like a chopper than a Harley. Sort of like, all Harleys are
motorcycles but not all motorcycles are Harleys. I don't see and brand
identification. Also, be caution of copyright infringements.

sell them to bike shops and dealers...
they can use them as promotions, gifts on sale of a bike, etc..
