Happy Father's Day to all. Fellow RKS member, Peter Kaufman had a unique idea. I'll let him pipe in if he wishes but the concecpt of a "Randall / Harley Davidson" build is quite facinating. What do ya'll think?
I'm thinking
"Black...Orange...Silver..." for a start on "colors-n-hardware" along with the leather would work. How about a small blade (4 1/2" or less) that would ride well on your belt while on the bike? How about a black sheath? There are a good amount of possibilities. Let me hear from you folks. It just might make an interesting "build"...Thanks for the idea Peter!
Best, Capt. Chris

I think a Gambler would make a cool Harley knife.

Maybe a Harley logo inlaid in the handle or the butt?

Capt,
I thinking along the lines of a #2-4" with SS blade, nickel silver reduced hilt, aluminum & black spacers, black micarta commando handle, and radiused nickel butt cap.

It would also have to have a Ford insignia as well to make it a "Super Duty".

Cap, nice Hog! Softail with a six speed - you are ready for some crusin!

If you were to ever get a wild hair haul it and your atv to Denver and we can hit the trails / highways up in the mountains. Last weds. Nan and I came up on a Moose cow with calf on a OHV trail up near Lake Granby. Also saw one of the big ole Rocky Mt. Bull Elk in velvet. On the road up near Empire we saw 8 Rocky Mt. Big Horns in the grader ditch. From now til the end of summer we will go up every week for one to two days. At 9000 feet it still gets darn chilly at night. Need a good fart sack!

We still have a pair of Road Kings - 2000 Classic and a 2003 Screamin Eagle Standard out of the CVO shop with the 103 Stroker Motor. My 2000 is my Mountain Bike, had the motor built and a true Baker 6 Speed installed in 2003. I have an extra Harley Race Tune Kit for that 2003 - the box has been open, but the module is still in its sealed packaged "never mated to a bike". Will trade for anything RMK.

Cap - question, paid my RKS dues back in March via PayPal - certainly understand the circumstances, but haven't received notice of receipt. No problem on my end, just don't want anyone thinking I didn't pay up.

Lets see some picks of that New Hog with some road dirt on it!! It is a beauty!!

A #2 would LOOK fine. In most jurisdictions double-edged blades are verboten, so legal carry could present a problem.

A 4" Gambler(unsharpened clip)with the handle HALORANGER suggested, or a reduced hilt #22 handle would be nice.

Black Ebony Handle or Black Mircata, Doug's silver Hilt & Butt. Black cross draw no hone sheath. On a 12/8 Big Bear with single hilt old style square top and finger grips with thong. I will take one!

Model 26 with #25 style handle with Black Micarta center piece and Orange Micarta instead of leather outer pieces, and Nickel Silver Hilt, Silver Spacers, and Nickel Silver Butt Cap. Is it even possible???

Any Model #25 styled handle will have leather on both sides of the center section...No exceptions...Sorry.

I am not a motorcycle guy myself, but I certainly am not shy on giving an opinion for this build.
How about a model 15 CDT, sawteeth, orange and black G10 with a Harley medallion where a compass would go and a black sheath with nickel rivets and canteen snap.
