We’ve been sharing pictures of the motorcycle build so far and build updates on our Facebook page (head on over and “like” our page to stay updated!) but we wanted to take an opportunity and ask Scott some questions about himself, his interests, the bike build and where his future plans take him.

SVHD: Where do you go to school and what are you going for?

Scott: I go to school at Dauphin County Technical School and I study small engines – anything from a chainsaw to a motorcycle.

SVHD: What made you want to get involved with Harley Davidson?

Scott: I wanted a Sportster 883 when I was little and always loved Harley motorcycles. I decided in freshman year I wanted to be a motorcycle mechanic and didn’t know where to go, then I learned this dealership was here and wanted to work here.

SVHD: Tell me about the bike…

Scott: The bike is a 2019 Sportster 48 special, with slammed shocks, a Roland Sands Velocity stack filter, a Roland Sands tracker 2-1 style exhaust, LED everything, ape hangers, a chain-drive conversion, and a unique “Suicide” Shifter. For the body, we have the dealership name and logo ghosted into the rear fender along with a 3-D paint on the gas tank.

SVHD: What has been the most challenging part of this project?

Scott: The most challenging part of this project was learning how to do all this. The guys here helped me a lot with it, but some stuff I had to figure out on my own, like how to do the chain drive conversion and how to make the “suicide” shifter work.

SVHD: What have you learned from this hands-on experience?

Scott: I have learned a lot from this experience. Between working on the project and talking with the other technicians I have learned all about the endless customization options of a Harley Davidson motorcycle. I also learned what technicians face on a daily basis.

SVHD: Scott – What’s next?

Scott: I plan on trying to become a technician here in the future and work my way up to a master technician as I get older.

Scott has been working hard on the build and we’re so excited to unveil the completed bike at our upcoming Spring Open House on April 27th. Stop out and join us from 12-3pm and witness the bike unveiling with Scott, the SVH-D team and fellow friends and enthusiasts alike. It’s bound to be a great time and local 80’s metal band, TIME BOMB, will be there. It’s our annual event that’s not to miss. We hope to see you there! Until then, here are a couple snapshots of the build to hold you over until the 27^th!
