Take note of how the tiny fuel tank (which Ben reckons holds enough fuel to get you to the next gas station) tapers and flows almost seamlessly into the frame, where a special junction has been shaped. Ben created it as a nod to the show bike era of the 60s deliberately “all show and no go.” But the overall effect is so cohesive, and the details so well executed, that it’s impossible not to love. The fact that this build is almost entirely metallic paint and chrome, with a tiny seat and an even tinier fuel tank, is completely by design. In the end, there was only one bike that landed on all of our lists: this luscious 1963 Panhead from Ben ‘The Boog’ Zales. As we ran through our individual picks, it quickly became clear that our tastes were vastly different. Winner, Media Choice Award: 1963 Panhead by Ben ‘The Boog’ Zales To pick the Media Choice Award winner, each judge first came up with a shortlist, before we all hopped onto a group call to hash things out. Here’s a look at the bike that took home that award, along with seven other builds that caught our eye. Alongside myself on the panel were American Iron’s Steve Lita, and my good friend Morgan Gales from Cycle World.

Each bike was posted to Harley’s Instagram account with a walk-around style video from the builder.īike EXIF was asked to join a small judging panel to pick the Media Choice Award winner.

H-D pulled their entries from the canceled Mama Tried, Congregation and Born Free shows, with a few international wild cards in the mix, totaling 60 bikes from the USA and abroad. To help fill the void, Harley-Davidson put on The No Show, a weeklong Instagram-based showcase of top class builds. The global pandemic hasn’t just shut down big events like Intermot and EICMA-a slew of grassroots custom shows have hit the pause button too.
