Harley Adds Sixth Customizer to 2024 'Builder Program'
Danbury, Connecticut based American Metal Customs' co-founder Josh Allison is the latest custom bike builder to be selected by H-D for its 2024 'Builder Program'.
The select group of six for this year's iteration of the program additionally includes Mark Atkins (aka Rusty Buther, California), Randy 'Detroit' Hayward, Zach Hindes (Prism Supply, Charlotte, NC), Oliver Jones (Long Beach, California) and Pat Patterson (Led Sled Customs, Dayton, OH).
Participants are given the opportunity to choose a brand-new 2024 Harley-Davidson motorcycle for customization - which they get to keep! The deadline for the builders to complete their fully customized versions of the motorcycles is set for June. The unveiling and showcasing of these custom bikes will take place at the annual Born Free Motorcycle Show at Oak Canyon Park in Silverado, California, on June 22-23.
After their debut at Born Free, the custom motorcycles will embark on a tour with Harley-Davidson to various bike shows and rallies across the country until March 2025, before being returned to the respective builders.
These shows include the Harley-Davidson Homecoming in Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Sturgis Motorcycle Rally in Sturgis, South Dakota; Virginia City Round Up in Virginia City, Nevada; Congregation Show in Charlotte, North Carolina; Born Free Texas in Yellow Rose Canyon, Texas; Paradise Road Show in Palm Springs, California; Chopper Fest in Ventura, California; Flat Out Friday/Mama Tried in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Daytona Bike Week in Daytona, Florida.
