Bike is a 2000 Harley Davidson FXD
Located in the beautiful Prescott Valley, Arizona, Ms. Conception Paint offers high-end custom paint services, including airbrushing, graphic design, and finishes in candies, pearls, and metallics. They also handle dent and damage repair, fiberglass work, and motorcycle service everything under one roof.
This 2000 Harley Davidson FXD started as an abandoned project unfinished and overlooked by previous owners. We took it on with a clear goal: transform it into a daily rider worthy of the spotlight. At Ms. Conception Paint, we specialize in creating functional art, blending unique paint techniques with precision fabrication. Balancing the demands of running a custom paint shop, teaching airbrushing, welding, and autobody, and still delivering quality work on time isn’t easy, but it’s something we’ve mastered. This Dyna features custom paint, carefully selected parts, and a design meant to turn heads without following trends. This bike is the result of years of experience and a relentless commitment to craftsmanship.
Riley Hansen
My bike is a 1987 bigtwin evo machined out to be a 96 cubic in motor, with cams, it’s in a “gasbox” 3” up frame with 10” over 39mm forks I’m running 12” T-bars, transmission is a S&S superstock 5 speed, and I have a “BDL” open belt primary.
25 year old Riley Hansen is a chopper builder I have been around choppers my entire life thanks to my dad, who is really the main reason I got into choppers and he has passed down his wisdom and love for choppers to me. I have been building bikes for a few years now this is my very first bigtwin build and first build from the frame up. I have ran into my fair share of difficulties with this bike already. I had to fabricate my own sissy bar to suit my style and fabricate many other of my own parts to make this build my own including foot pegs, master cylinder relocation bracket, exhaust mounts, cutting rear fender for chain clearance, and building my own seat pan. My dad is a very talented upholster, and he helped me build my own custom seat for the bike as well I can’t thank him enough for that. My passion is building and riding choppers if I could afford to do that the rest of my life I would in a heartbeat, most people think they are uncomfortable and dangerous but for me there is some sort of peace I get from cruising down a deserted highway on a rolling death machine with nothing but a bag of tools and camping gear to go see somewhere.

Steve “Skeeter” Wendig
I’m honored to return to the Russ Brown Builders Showcase this year with my 1999 Sportster chopper. What began as a rough Sportster found on Facebook Marketplace evolved into a tough, West Coast–inspired build focused on clean lines and purposeful design. The bike features a dual-disc front end and carefully chosen components to achieve a narrow, agile stance built for carving and cruising alike. Continuing a tradition from last year, my five-year-old son once again joined me as my partner in the build. He was out in the shop along the way. For me, building motorcycles is about more than metal and machines it’s about creating memories that last a lifetime.

Matt Wolf
After retiring from the Marines and the U.S. Army, Matt channeled his passion for perseverance and resilience into his custom CVO motorcycle, a bike that has become an extension of his own dedication. Each year, he takes on the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge™ a 10,000-mile ride that pushes both rider and machine to their limits. This annual journey isn’t just about covering miles; it’s about testing the boundaries of endurance, facing unpredictable challenges, and emerging with a deeper understanding of his purpose.
Through the race, Matt has racked up thousands of miles on his bike, each one a testament to his mental and physical strength, while embracing the challenge’s mission to foster self-reflection and personal growth. In the end, the Hoka Hey isn’t just a ride, it’s a journey that fuels his ongoing commitment to act on behalf of others, just as he did in his military service.
