Budweis Custom Indian Motorcycle Show to feature in Indian Riders Fest
As part of the Indian Riders Fest, the Budweis Custom Indian Motorcycle Show is set to be one of the largest displays of custom Indian motorcycles.
The Budweis Custom Indian Motorcycle Show has been announced for the beginning of June in the Czech Republic, during the Indian Riders Fest.
The Indian Riders Fest (IRF) is, Indian says in a press release, “expected to be the world’s largest gathering of Indian Motorcycle owners,” and therefore makes the Budweis Custom Indian Motorcycle Show potentially the largest stage for Indian custom builders to showcase their creations based on the legendary American manufacturer’s motorcycles.
Prizes will be awarded in six categories:
- Best Indian Scout - All Scout 1133 cc / liquid-cooled engine-based stock/modified/radical custom bikes
- Best Chief & Non-Fairing - All 111/116 Thunderstroke engine-based stock/modified/radical customs bikes without fairing
- Best Bagger - All Bagger-Style, Touring Bikes with 111/116 Thunderstroke engine or PowerPlus liquid-cooled engine-based stock/modified/radical custom bikes
- Best Indian Vintage up to 1953 - All customised/modified vintage Indian Motorcycle based on original model built until 1953
- Best FTR/Sportbike/Streetfighter - All custom bikes with an original Indian Motorcycle engine produced after 2013
- Best Killer Look - The best paint job, surface enhancement like engravings, 3D metal artworks, hydrofoil.
There is also a seventh prize, the “ultimate prize,” as Indian puts it, the “Best of Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show,” which will be awarded to the motorcycle which combines the best elements from all six of the above categories.
Ola Stenegärd, Director of Industrial Design for Indian Motorcycle, said: “The custom world is on fire with cool builds based on every Indian Motorcycle model. Chops, bobs, baggers, trackers; you name it. The scene is just exploding with creative energy and I’m super stoked to see what builders will bring to the Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show to display their creativity, skills and craftsmanship.”
More about the Budweis Indian Motorcycle Custom Show can be found on the show’s website. The IRF will take place on 9-11 June in České Budějovice (Budweis), Czech Republic.

Alex has been working in the motorcycle industry for as long as he has been at Visordown, which has been since March 2022 so we'll let you work it out from there. He's the new guy. He'd be fetching us all coffee 'round the clock if he wasn't based in the arse end of nowhere.
