《哈雷金鋼》以極富原始生命力的古靈獸——犀牛為雛形，犀牛的身軀融合極具東方神秘色彩的麒麟背脊與金剛杵，並運用當代的藝術語言，挪用象徵工業文明的錨釘元素。
作品形塑出堅挺的山形背脊與剛直幾何的硬邊線條，讓犀牛宛如穿上一件甲冑；高聳的犀牛鈦金角，除表現出人性化的拇指特色，同時又像徵著中華文化中對公平、正義、積極向上以及不屈不饒的奮鬥精神。作品造型有如一台哈雷重機，融入馬達與馬鞍的設計，兼具速度與激情、科技與時尚。結合其犀牛抬頭挺胸的運動姿態，具備了穩定、祥和與端莊的本質，帶有當代、時尚、科技的精神，賦予犀牛前所未見的氣勢與威嚴。
The sculpture "Harley Kong Steel" is inspired by the rhinoceros, an ancient creature known for its remarkable vitality. The form of the rhinoceros is fused with the enigmatic back of the qilin and the vajra, both emblematic of Eastern culture. Additionally, the sculpture employs contemporary artistic language, utilizing anchor elements to symbolize industrial civilization.
The sculpture portrays the rhinoceros with a robust, mountainous back and geometric, straight lines, evoking the image of armor. The towering titanium-gold horn of the rhinoceros serves as a representation of the values of fairness, justice, positivity, and unwavering determination found in Chinese culture, as well as a humanized thumb. Reminiscent of a Harley motorcycle, the sculpture incorporates motors and saddles, exuding speed, passion, technology, and fashion. The rhinoceros's raised head and chest posture embody stability, serenity, and dignity, carrying the spirit of contemporary, fashionable, and technological innovation, and endowing the rhinoceros with an unprecedented sense of momentum and grandeur.
