The bike we have built for the competition is our response to Freedom Machine. We have used a Sportster 1200 Custom and completely changed the look to an old school fashion bobber. We have mainly changed the back part. Stiff it up and cut the rear fender. We've also refurbished it all the way, changed the tank to a 48-tank, put on a logo and covered it with clear paint. The seat, exhaust system and the steering wheel have also been replaced and we have used Harley-Davidson's 'brass parts' as much as possible.

The whole team worked on the planning of the bike, which has been fun to do together. We have of course had some challenges along the way, but we are very pleased with the result! Now it's soon ready for the road!

I work as Dealer Principal at Harley-Davidson Kristiansand and I have been driving Harleys since I was 20 years old. In the process of making this bike, I led the team including all dealership staff. Everybody has been involved and taken part in the project, something that has been a great game. The idea of ​​the bike was <All for freedom - freedom for all> We wanted to build a freedom machine with roots in the old bobbers, but with all the modern facilities that a new Harley has.
