Warr’s Harley-Davidson of London has been crowned “King of Custom” after a two-month Battle of the Kings competition between dealers in the UK and Ireland.
The competition involved all 29 UK and Ireland authorised Harley-Davidson dealers building a customised H-D Sportster XL 1200X Forty-Eight in the same stripped back tones as the Dark Custom range of production bikes.
Warr’s Urban Racer Sprint custom was voted the winner by Harley-Davidson owners and fans, lovers of urban customisation and a guest judge from weekly motorcycle newspaper Motor Cycle News (MCN).
Commenting on the result, MD John Warr said: “What fantastic news! Making those bikes involved a lot of sweat and tears. When it comes to ‘custom’, these guys know their stuff. But at the end, Warr’s – Europe’s oldest Harley-Davidson – won!”
The top five placing from combined judging:
1) Warr’s Harley-Davidson – Warr’s Urban Racer Sprint
2) Maidstone Harley-Davidson – King Slayer
3) Shaw Harley-Davidson – The Clubman
4) Edinburgh Harley-Davidson – SCR4M8LER
5) Sycamore Harley-Davidson – Sonuvabitch
