Eye-Popping Customs Abound at Arizona Bike Week and K&N is Their Air Filter of Choice

Arizona Bike Week is one of the nation's largest motorcycle gatherings

Of course, a major element of any big rally is the rolling art that is on display at the event. Scintillating builds and outrageous customs were everywhere on the sprawling WestWorld property. Exotic paint jobs, gleaming chrome, fat rubber, and overbuilt engines were the rule of the week.

As is always the case, K&N was clearly the most popular choice for protection and performance among the builders displaying their creations at Bike Week. Many of the high-dollar and high-style customs were sporting K&Ns.

However, the link between K&N and performance motorcycles goes beyond the show bikes. K&N filters were featured on the event’s flat track race bikes, on the stunt and performance machines, as well as being a ubiquitous presence on the bikes in the packed parking lots.

Here is visual tour of some of the customs and working bikes at the 2017 Arizona Bike Week.
