Prizes

The FXR Show & Dyna Mixer is more of a charity event and motorcycle hangout than your conventional bike show, however that doesn’t mean you’ll go home empty-handed. The who’s who of the aftermarket motorcycle parts industry kicks in prizes for the top entries in each class.

The Best in Show winner will also go on to compete against the winners of the other shows in the Sturgis Buffalo Chip Custom Series for the title of Custom Series King. All Best in Show winners will be invited onto the Buffalo Chip’s legendary Wolfman Jack Main Stage where celebrity judges will crown the winner of this prestigious award.

Details are still coming together on the prizes for this year. For updates, follow along on Instagram at @fxrshow, @fxrfriday or @sodakbigjoe.
