Warr's wins UK Battle of the Kings competition

Warr’s Harley Davidson has won the UK and Ireland round of the Battle of the Kings custom contest for the second consecutive year with ‘Rascal Racer’, a cafe racer build based on the Sportster Iron 883. 

From an original entry list of over 30 machines, the five finalists were displayed at last weekends Bike Shed London show at Tobacco Dock for final judging. The competition rules stipulate that the finished machines should retail for no more than £12,995 including the cost of the original 883 Dark, resulting in some very creative builds.

Dublin Harley-Davidson took third place with “Dorcha”. Second place was awarded to “Tresspasser”, a by-product of equally skilled custom minds from Maidstone Harley-Davidson.
