For the motorcycle enthusiast and especially Harley Davidson lovers, this is a great gift – especially because it was signed by the artist. No missing pieces, no cracks, includes the box but the box definitely shows wear. Please review all photos carefully for anything I may have missed in the description. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Thank you for looking!
