The event is sponsored by J&P Cycles and hands out thousands of dollars in prizes to winners competing with hundreds of other bikes throughout the country. We will be covering many of these bikes individually in the next few months as we do at many of these shows.             Along with bikes from the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show, I have also included a few...

              Whether you like Huxley’s unlikely choice of a 1986 Honda CB700SC Nighthawk or not, you’ve got to appreciate the hard work and long hours that went into making something cool out of something that probably should have been thrown away because of its condition. “I bought it as a mess and it took approximately three months to get it into shape. I’m in the army at Fort...

Jeff had wanted to upgrade from his Sportster and had his heart set on a Fat Boy. On one of his frequent lunch hour stops at Carolina Coast Harley-Davidson he saw a red Fat Boy that had just come in. Finding out...

      I can more than appreciate the horror of having this bike beat-down happen as it also happened to a good friend of mine except the latex paint addition was substituted with a subtle loosening of all the brake lines. After fixing all the bodywork damage over a winter, when he nailed his brakes on his first spring ride, brake fluid shot out everywhere followed by brake controls...

     Jeremy Jimenez works in what was (maybe it still is) the hot bed of custom motorcycles, a body shop called Ultimate Rides in Holly Hill, Florida.  I swear more custom bikes came out of body shops than repair shops and when you think about it, it makes sense.
