The 2014 Buffalo Chip Student Build Challenge™ has now been under way for one month, and keeping on schedule has become an uphill battle for its participants. Each week the Sturgis Brown High School class meets with mentors, Keith Terry of Terry Components and Randy and Nick Cramer of Dakota V-Twin, to transform their 2014 Harley-Davidson® Street Glide into a powerful and eye-catching custom bike. But because custom parts don’t yet exist for this new-year model, each step of the build has brought on its own set of challenges. Check out the photos below to see what the motorcycle mentorship program has been up against.
The students participating in the 2014 Sturgis Buffalo Chip® Student Build Challenge™ certainly have their work cut out for them. Class officially started for this enterprising group of Sturgis Brown High School students on Monday, Jan. 6, and already the motorcycle project has turned into an intense race against the clock.
