HEATH PINTER: BORN FREE HARLEY BUILD

It was great to get a firsthand look at Heath Pinter’s 2025 Born Free build—he’s one of the invited Harley builders for this year’s show, and the bike is insane.

We caught up with him at Saddlemen in Long Beach before the Bornfree show and  Heath walked us through the what he did to teh bike - the  process—from early 3D prototyping to final product—and the time, energy, and craftsmanship he’s put in really shows.

Seeing what he designed and working with his hands to build and create is kind of a lost art. He absolutely crushed this build.

Big respect to all the builders out there—this scene is full of creativity, hard work, and, most of all, hands-on talent.

I hadn’t been to Bornfree in 5 years and the growth of the shows was insane.
