Dont get caught up to much in placing the bike in shows to place most of them are riged anyway . You bike is def worth showing off . Do it for the fun and the hanging out . I lost to a stock street glide and a deluxe that had pipes and some chrome added dont sweat the judging and have fun showing off your ride .

Yo ride is "G2G", (Good To Go). I've put mine in a couple of shows and did ok. "Attention to Detail" goes along way. If you can think it up someone has prolly already done it. That being said, start at the front, grab a lawn chair and beverage of choice. Take you time, look at everything. Work you way back, go slow, grab another "BOC", turn on some tunes and enjoy. Keying/ clocking and indexing bolt heads, hose clamps and zip ties is what will set you apart from the competition. Make everything FLOW with the lines. "ATD" includes valve stem caps, bolt head covers and those brake caliper inserts, (I noticed yours are the stockers). I agree with the others, ditch that stock air cleaner. I use touch up paint to paint bolt heads. A heat gun is good for yankin all those "EPA" stickers.
Well that's how I prep for a show, best of luck !!!

I've always loved what you've done with your sled, one of a kind for sure.
+1 on the AC and CAM (if you don't already have some work done)...
Do you have any pics with the fairing off, I don't remember seeing any?
I think I remember you just putting your shotgun on, have you lowered the front at all?...that would be my suggestion

For a bike to earn any kind of award, it needs to stand-out among the rest of the entries in the class you have chosen. In my neck of the woods your bike wouldn't stand-out. Good luck though, in your quest for recognition among your peers.
Kozy, I wouldn't hessitate to enter a show if I was riding your bike.
The only thing I see that jumps out at me is the football...looks pretty factory.
I would keep the batwing...looks pretty proper on your bike.
Nicely done!
