Default Re: Harley Davidson motorcycle with Sidecar

So i noticed never gave much of any detail of the steering on my scooter:

This has a Triple-tree fork, so the lower plate of that was drilled vertically near the right leg, at 'about' the same center as servo horn. I dropped a tiny push-pull wire into that hole, it tucks in near the bike frame and runs back below tank and seat. Tank needed clearanced to get full steering throw. Couple Z-bends on the wire keep it in fork and servo.

If i were cool, i would have used a Micro Helicopter linear actuator to drive the steering.

Rear wheel to driveshaft connection was nothing fancy, and so glue kept failing. I need to drill the parts for crosspins (twist-tie wire)

Realistically it probably only like has 20 minutes of runtime, mostly testing.
I need to order an RX, probably a lipo safety, power switch, a rider, passenger...

As far as scale Sidehack Motorcycles, i've seen
Maisto makes Harley 1/18
? . makes BMW 1/18
Hotwheels makes Harley 1/15
Polistil made BMW 1/15
China made a Harley bank in 1/12

Mostly I hope that i don't get the motorcycle bug... then we'd have a whole gang of tiny bikes out there. My luck they'd be 0.01% ers.
Gangs would be something like Gullivers Angels or maybe Lilliputian Disciples
