Invited builders

Each year for over a decade we have assembled a group of Invited Builders to build their dream bike and debut it in a special centerpiece in front of the main stage at Born-Free. This group to us represents the best of the Born-Free custom bike mentality which in our opinion has always separated Born-Free from all the other shows out there!

Even though the number of builders fluctuates each year above and below 30, we do our best to scour the earth to bring you our favorite talent, passion, style, creativity, and personality in men and women from all different walks of life, locations, inspirations, to give you the opportunity to see it first at Born-Free! They all are also competing with their fellow builders for $10,000 in prize money and a trip for them and their bike to the Mooneyes Hot Rod and Custom Show in Yokohama, Japan each December!

Follow along on our and their social media to see what’s brewing for this year!
