BUILDER: This year's builder is award winning Brian Klock and his team at Klock Werks Kustom Cycles in Mitchell South Dakota.
INFO ON KLOCK WERKS: Klock Werks exists where passion and fuel mix. That’s who they really are. They are passionate about family, faith, and motorsports- basically anything that burns gas. Their passion to exceed customer expectations with a commitment to respect, honesty, and teamwork has brought them from their start in 1997 to today. They have built crazy choppers, big wheel baggers, the Hobo, the Cherry Bomb, and the World’s Fastest Bagger. Klock Werks has led, joined, and honored trends in our growth to become a company that creates parts to add timeless style.
Klock Werks took a leap from garage builders to a nationally and internationally recognized innovator of powersports products after winning the 2006 Discovery Channel Biker Build Off with the “World’s Fastest Bagger.” The Flare™ Windshield, a product that has revolutionized the air management industry, was born on the Bonneville Salt Flats, where Laura Klock and daughters Erika and Karlee made history setting land-speed records.
The core of Klock Werks is creating the best quality parts that fit, function, and look great. They want to help you find the right solution, windshield, height, tint, profile – all the little details – that achieve the right look for you. For them it’s all about people helping people and doing everything we can to make sure you have the best day, the best ride, the best experience, and the best-looking bike that makes you proud of what you built and who you are. It truly matters to them.
They are a small, core group with a big family atmosphere located in rural South Dakota. Community and camaraderie are integral to their team that is made up of mothers, fathers, farmers, record holders, cooks, writers, designers, cowboys, mechanics, and bike enthusiasts.
MAKE & MODEL: This year's official bike is based on a brand new Harley-Davidson Softail, but with a number of unique twists in the build, paint and graphics. It will be the only one like it in the world - as it should be for the Official Motorcycle of Daytona Bike Week.
PROCESS TO CUSTOMIZE: It takes at least a half a year to custom build a bike like this, and the Klock Werks crew is hard at work on it to be finished and done in time to make the cover of American Iron Magazine just before Daytona Bike Week in March.
SOME DETAILS: This motorcycle is based on a new Harley Softail with real world upgrades in both cosmetics and performance. We don't want to give out too much detail just yet, but you can bet this unique design will turn heads everywhere it goes.
