Default 99 Crafty Customs Contest

Hey guys, many of you saw my thread on my project Dyna. I mentioned in other threads I entered it into a contest (thanks to a member here who told me about it!)

Well, I had my photo shoot and it will be soon appearing in one of Easyriders magazines soon. Either Easyriders, V-Twin, In The Wind, or Biker magazine.

Here is the website about the contest. www.99crafty.com

It is for 1989-1999 Harley Big Twins with a total build cost including the bike for under $9999.99 The total cost is based on total value of bike and visual upgrades. (motor work doesnt count).

So.....Here are the bikes that have been featured in the magazines so far. Give me your opinion on how well you think I will do...Thanks!!
I have some very stiff competition in this!!







































Here is mine

In my personal opinion, I think your bike looks equally as good or better than some of the other bikes you showed. I'd have to know the other bikes that entered this year though.

I'd have to say that it was a hell of a good idea for you to enter!

I would have to say....do not show you're bike to many of the competitors!

Good Luck!

Looking at your build i'd be more inclined to say that the other entrants are the ones facing the stiff competition.

I think you did one helluva job on your build.
