1) Jim, I would put it in the custom or big twin..moreso the Big Twin.. best of luck to you.

2) My powdercoating should be done before the end of the week, which means hopefully (fingers crossed) this weekend will consist of nothing but assembly, assembly, assembly... can't wait.

Thanks for your opinion bro.

Jim,

That's what I've got it narrowed down to, but when you put it in the Big V-twin do you think they are judging the engine or the over all bike?

I'm glad you get to start putting her back together! I can't wait for you lol!

That's what I'm afraid of lol. Maybe I'll start a thread and let the softail section vote in a poll to help me decide. Thanks Jim!!

These guys beat me to it, but I would call them back and be like:

"Look, I can't pick any one of these categories to be quite honest with you. I'm not shitting you here, but my bike is literally in a class of it's own and you need to respect that. You know what? Just go ahead and create that new category, send me the trophy and prize monies and we'll just go from there. I'll send you a couple pics to post. Thanks."

lol too funny. Those are akward catagories for my bike though aren't they?

I'm thinking the custom class, but with my luck I will be up against a 1 off chopper!

Thanks Pyron

I'd say "big twin", but if not, then why not?
