J and P Cycles Ultimate Builder Competition

Progressive International Motorcycle Shows has announced the 8th annual J and P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Competition, with $100,000 in cash and prizes. IMS attendees will see 350 one-of-a-kind bikes and meet the artists who create these jaw-dropping designs.

The show hosts four classes: Freestyle, Modified HarleyDavidson, Modified Custom and Modified Retro. Judging will be conducted by the competitors themselves, with the top builders in each class receiving cash and prizes, along with special category awards for "Originality," "People's Choice" and "Show Dog." Two new categories have been added for 2017, "Best Paint" and "Best Overall Design."

Each class winner at all the IMS cities will be invited to join the final Round at IMS Chicago on February 10-12, 2017, awarding a total of $50,000 in cash and prizes. This highly anticipated annual competition is proudly sponsored by J and P Cycles, who will be returning as the title sponsor of this elite-level competition and supporting the "People's Choice" award along with Bell Helmets, as well as Harley-Davidson, who have returned as the Presenting Sponsor of the Modified Harley-Davidson class.

"J and P Cycles is proud to present the eighth year of the Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show and support the community of motorcycle builders,” said Zach Parham, GM J and P Cycles: We're inspired and humbled by the vision and self-expression of the hundreds of bikes entered each year. And we look forward to celebrating and recognizing the winners this year."
