 |
Yes. However, the rivets will be exposed to rain and snow. In the winter time, rivet viewing may be difficult due to occasional snow cover. |

 |
|
 |
|
|
What material are the Living the Legend™ walls made of? |
 |
 |
The Living the Legend™ walls are made of COR-TEN® steel. COR-TEN® uses alloying elements such as copper, chromium, silicon and nickel to enhance the atmospheric corrosion resistance of the steel. Also known as Weathering Steel, COR-TEN® steel will rust to a natural finish like you may have seen on some steel bridges and is popularly used in outdoor sculptures, such as in the large Picasso sculpture in Chicago. |
 |
|
 |
|
|
In what material do the rivets rest within the Living the Legend™ plazas on the Harley-Davidson Museum® grounds? |

The rivets will be secured in concrete on the ground in the plazas. There are walking paths and handicapped access within and around the Harley-Davidson Museum® grounds so that all of the rivets can be viewed and enjoyed. |
 |
|
 |
|
|
Do you guarantee quality over time? |
 |
 |
Because your rivet will be displayed outdoors on the grounds for the life of the Harley-Davidson Museum®, it will be exposed to the elements, taking on whatever nature throws at it. The Museum will maintain the Living the Legend™ walls and plazas, but expect your rivet to weather. |
 |
|
 |

 |
|
 |
|
|
What happens if my rivet is damaged? |
 |
 |
The Harley-Davidson Museum® will maintain the Living the Legend™ walls and plazas, but in the event of non-weather-related damage to your rivet or other damage to your rivet not caused by ordinary wear and tear, the Museum will repair or replace the rivet at its option. |
 |
