Like anything subjective, it’s hard to know what you’re going to get when you open things up for a vote. But in the case of our Bike That Social Media Built campaign, everything magically came together to create a one of a kind masterpiece. Thanks to all who participated in the vote, and might we add, you have impeccable taste!

As we have been sharing with you the past 6 weeks, our Bike That Social Media Built promotion gave you, our fans, the chance to help design a great bike for a great cause. Now that it is nearing completion, the bike will be donated to auction for the Fisher House Wisconsin – the “home away from home” for families at the VA here in Milwaukee.

From front wheel to back and everything in-between, you voted and our House of Customs listened. What did you pick? Based on your votes, the bike will be a high bar bobber frame, with a patriotic paint scheme, forward controls, a brown distressed leather 48 styled seat, a tall sissy bar, and a short shots exhaust system.

Thanks again for following the bike and placing your vote for our vets. Stay tuned for the big reveal in the ahead.

Don’t forget to see the live unveiling of the bike at the Milwaukee Auto Show. So come down to our booth, say hi, and check out this beautiful machine for yourself.

Once again we can’t thank each and everyone of you who voted enough. This project turned out better than we hoped and you created one killer bike for the Fisher House. Thanks again from the staff at The House.

A lot of thought goes into the design of a custom bike. From headlamp to tailpipe there are a lot of options to ponder. What if our House of Customs could build a bike where everyone had a say – from front wheel to back and everything in-between? That’s exactly what we have set out to do with our Bike That Social Media Built.

Each Monday, starting January 9th, we’ll need YOU to vote on our blog for your favorite custom bike details for our brand new Harley-Davidson Iron 883.

Upon final resultes, the experts in the House of Customs will be customizing the following elements:

- The overall style
- Paint
- Seat design
- Various parts & accessories options

By late February, we should have one pretty cool bike to donate to Fisher House Wisconsin, the “home away from home” for families at the VA here in Milwaukee.

So, what kind of paint job would you pick for your Harley? What kind of seat? How about exhaust? We want to hear from you! Give us your two cents, and in doing so, you’ll be giving a whole lot more to veterans and their families.

Cast your vote starting January 9th!
