The prizes are excellent. I need a helmet, I need a resevoir, I can take the helmet and use the gift cert to get it painted so it match the custom jacket, and then save the spools for my next project.
What about me, since fighters aren't popular in my area at all(mind you ppl don't even know what a fighter is), they all think my bike is a stunt bike when I don't even stunt. :nuts:
Doesnt matter because it takes into account what he had done before the buildoff started then the equation they use incorporates money spent as well. So even though he has a nice bike most of it was done before the buildoff even started which means he pretty much entered a near finished bike.
Im not knocking the bike at all Im just stating how the thing is supposed to work.
I dont think this is a voting type situation anyway, i think its done only by the equation they came up with....or maybe its a combination of both? Either way its supposed to come out fair no matter what.

Direct qoute so we can kill all the questioning
"We have devised a formula that inputs the total cost of the the build into the mix...
Basically... if you spent a ton, you get points deducted, and if you spend very little, you get points added.
This way, if we only have 10 people in with all different bikes, and all different build costs, we can still have some competiton.
The formula only works for bikes between $500-$10,000 but literally, a $500 bike would have just as much chance of winning as a $10,000 bike!!! The key here is "Doing the best with what you've got to work with."
Bikes will be judged on 12 categories:
motor
suspension
brakes
intake/exhaust
rims/tires
lights, guages, electrical
customization
overall build quality
overall look/flow
creativity
paint
Custom Fighters skull logo usage"
I posted a message that I just deleated, Ive got my oppinions, I like your bike, I do, even though its a copy of someone elses . ok here it is, just bare in mind people started from scratch for this build, and anyone can through 5 grand at a bike and make it look good.
Sully, you know that when their is a contest comes a competitive nature that often takes out civility in the nature of animalistic competitiveness. It probably will hurt your votes having a lot of it done previous to the start of the buildoff, but either way I have been following your build and seeing all of the things you did after the build off started and I think everyone can agree that you have one sick bike.:rock:
i'm not here to win contest's , i thought this would be a good way to get my ass in gear and get my bike completed. And for that it worked, my bike is pretty much done, so i win no matter what. Oringinaly there were not that many substantial prizes so we can be pretty sure no one entered this build for the prizes even though someone think's thats why i entered the build (grow up you know who you are) and BritJoe to say that anyone can throw 5K at a bike and have it turn out the way mine did your out of your mind, how many bikes have you seen with unlimited budgets that look like shit or are completely tacky, i know of plenty!! I never copied Artkores bike, i used it as inspriation. should i find every fighter'd GSXR and then say you copied them!!:knucks:

i hear ya tommy but i'm getting tired of hearing the same old drivel from the same old asshats all the time. And for some reason this site has got the most vocal asshats i've ever heard run thier mouths.
One of them has copied my shit but still runs his mouth!!!
It's all good. Don't let them bother you. They're the kinda guys that can't even get a exhaust hanger right. lol
