Andrew Ursich Wins 2016 Ultimate Builder in Long Beach, CA

Fresh off the kick start of the J&P Cycles Ultimate Builder Custom Bike Show in Long Beach, CA and the results were just… Wow! We had outstanding builds that were world-class from fit, finish and design.

The first show of the season is a great place to catch up on the latest products. Like K&N Filters, they released a new articulated miniature shaker hood air cleaner that looked like it was plucked off a 1970’s era Dodge Challenger.

The SHO DOG is awarded to the individual that works the show to promote their business and the custom bike industry. Charles Hollom took to the stage and received a leather solo bag provided by The Leatherworks, the home of the nickel bag.

Kenny Williams of KW Customs 2011 Build

Kenny Williams of KW Customs 2011 Build

Kenny Williams of KW Customs is a master craftsman and a builder of killer custom baggers. His ability to make bullet-proof bikes comes from his background in drag racing and frame fabrication.

Back in the day, to be good on the strip you needed to ride fast, wrench quick and build it to last; in other words, you needed to do it all as the corporate dollars were not available to hire specialized talent. Kenny’s success is due to his ability to retain his custom bike clients, keep costs down and deliver world-class, rolling art.
