Apparently there is a thing called Battle of the Kings. For 2016 HD sent a 2016 883 Iron to dealerships all around the world to highlight just how customizable the Sportster is.

There are some amazing builds, and some questionable ones. Here are a few of my favorites, and a few that leave me scratching my head.

I'm not sure what to call this style but it really speaks to me. Not really a cafe bike, I'd call it more of a old school muscle bike vibe. Whatever it is I love it.

I also love these classic frame mounted fairing builds. (Unfortunately, these seem to have the worst picture compositions.)

My, oh, my. This one is by far my favorite.

Here are some very beautiful builds.

The offroad contingent was well represented. Some amazing bikes here.

This one is super cool.

And now from the way out there department.

There are many more, these were just some of my highlights. After seeing all of these amazing builds I'm truly inspired. I want to go build my bike now.

I dig the top pick. Always been a sucker for black and gold. And chains. Bikes need to be driven by chains.

I'm with the Apple...First one looks the best to me.

If I was shorter than 6'4" these might be an option

Some of those are nice (the first one especially) but others are just awful.

It's down to the final two. Local dealer is one of them.

Does anyone know how to see pictures of the 64 bike field?

In reply to DanyloS:

I couldn't see any of them on the HD site, it doesn't jive with my computer.

I think most of them are in this thread. http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=1964390

You can buy a tracker seat pan like those from Hotwing Glass and it's far cheaper than stuff made for the HD crowd.

Harley built a few awesome bikes like those in-house for a while. They didn't sell well because Harley fags.

I almost bought an XR1200 in white a couple years ago but I already own a bike that is only good for riding to the coffee shop.

I'd ride this one. I'm not sure how far, but I'd give it a shot.
