Voting in Harley-Davidson’s Battle of the Kings III – Europe’s biggest dealer-led customisation build-off competition – ends on Tuesday 14 February.
The poll will decide which machine could represent the UK in a battle royal between fellow competitors from Europe, Middle East, Russia and Africa.
Two hundred and twenty Harley-Davidson dealerships from 21 countries – including 31 across the UK and Ireland – are competing to take the Battle of the Kings 2017 crown with their individual Dark Custom builds. All 220 of this year’s entries can be found on the dedicated website – www.h-d.com/battleofthekings.
Fans vote online for their favourite Battle of the Kings 2017 entry to create a shortlist for each region or country. Judging of the UK’s online-voted top-five machines will take place at the Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show (17-19 February) by a select panel of judges consisting of personalities and specialist lifestyle and media outlets.
Harley dealers were challenged to create a road-legal custom machine within a strict budget and had the choice of an Iron 883, Forty-Eight or Roadster from the Dark Custom Sportster range as a base model. The machines had to be created with a maximum retail price of £12,995 for an Iron 883 and £14,995 for a Forty-Eight or Roadster.
