Shaw Harley-Davidson is no stranger to the World Championship of Custom Bike Building, having won the Modified Harley class in 2010. In 2013 the company returned to the Championship with another build from its Shaw Speed & Custom workshop – HD 110 LE USTOM builders can, and do, take inspiration from many diverse places, and Steve Willis, Team Principal at Shaw Harley-Davidson, is no different. With a background in competitive cycling Steve brought some of that skill to the build of HD 110, the bike the business entered in the Modified Harley class at the World Championship of Custom Bike Building. He explains: “We C wanted to create something which would look at home in any X Games arena or in motocross, mountain bikes BMX, surfing, snowboarding or skateboarding.” And HD 110 LE clearly wears those design cues with the way the front end is painted to be reminiscent of mountain bike Rock Shox and with cycling World Championship rainbow stripes strategically placed around the bike.
