In the second year of the Custom Kings competition, all U.S. dealerships were invited to turn a Sportster motorcycle into a custom-of-one work of art. Initial entries were scored by the H-D® styling team based on quality of customization and build, fit and finish, use of paint, design, technique and how teams utilized Harley-Davidson® Genuine P&A. From there, fans took control, selecting the winner in a bracket-style online vote.
