2011 Sturgis Buffalo Chip Challenge Custom Bike Completed

Several months back, Custom Chrome (CCI) and The Sturgis Buffalo Chip teamed up to create the 2011 Sturgis Buffalo Chip Challenge custom motorcycle. The bike has now been completed by select students of Western Dakota Tech under the supervision of custom designer Michael Prugh of Prugh Designs.

The custom machine will go under the hammer on August 8 during the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, with proceeds from the auction to support the 4th Annual Legends Ride.

Based on a platform of a new 2011 Harley Street Bob, the build saw Western Dakota Tech students rebuild the bike from the ground up using custom designed and fabricated parts as well as many aftermarket parts and accessories sourced from the 2011 Custom Chrome catalog. Prugh and his students tore down the bike to its bare frame and rebuilt it as a custom machine.

“We first displayed the bike and the students at our 2011 Dealer Show in March and at that time, they were just starting the project,” stated Custom Chrome President and CEO Holger Mohr. “To see what they’ve created from that basic, stock Harley is really amazing and inspiring!”

“As you can see with the finished bike, the 2011 Buffalo Chip Challenge was a huge success due to the collective efforts of industry leaders like Custom Chrome, Black Hills Harley-Davidson, and Michael Prugh,” said Rod Woodruff, owner of the Sturgis Buffalo Chip. “With their support, the students of Western Dakota Tech had an opportunity to gain real-world expertise and an experience they will remember for the rest of their lives.”
