For those
unfamiliar with either show, the AVA Bike Show is for any Voyager OR
other Brand of motorcycles to show in a variety of classes. The
Custom & Chrome ShowDown is for Voyager XII or Voyager 1300
only. These Voyagers feature some of the most modified and
customized Voyagers in the world.
Here's just a very few pictures from shows past: (Click on Images

2006/2007 VXII ShowDown winner-
Dave Wirtz from South Carolina. Chrome, custom parts, immaculate
clean paint, and did we mention chrome?
(2003 Voyager XII) |
The crowd just starting to
gather for the 2006 ShowDown- 26 Customized Voyagers (1200 &
1300) present. It was hard to take pictures at this show because
of the large crowd attending the whole time of the show. |
The "Count's" Voyager
XII from Ohio (2nd place, ShowDown-2006). Would you believe
barbed wire props and painted barbed wire around various parts
of the bike, lots of chrome, and painted tire
tread! Just some of the modifications done to this great looking
bike. |
This 1988 Voyager is one of a
few (at that time) that feature custom paint and pin striping,
and even rhinestones on different parts of the bike
(2005). This rider dressed the part to go along with the
rhinestones. |
