That is quite humorous Bill!
The "list" as you call it is merely the most absolute and correct assembly as shipped from the factory. Period. There is a judging handbook for the AMCA with guidelines as far as maximum number of points to remove for discrepancies, but the inspection is up to the combined knowledge of the judging team based on all currently available information as a baseline.
So the "list" is the combined expertise of the team looking at your attempt to be as close to factory spec as possible.
Good lock!

Bill,
nobody is jerking your chain because you're the new guy. If you are going to have your bike judged at an AMCA (Antique Motorcycle Club of America) National Meet the "100 Point" standard is the same for all antique motorcycles, not just Panheads. There is only one judging sheet used for all and any bikes that are judged, and as Robbie said, the 100 point standard is the way the bike looked when it left the factory. You are at the mercy of the team that is judging your bike to know what that actually should be.

for what its worth here is a link to the AMCA site that tells you a little bit about the judging process:

I saw that, and the above statement by Mike is one of the reasons that I will never have a bike judged, and one of the reasons that I left the AMCA ...

I mean jeeze, discussing a bolt that had a wrench mark on it for 20 min?? to me that is just anal retentive.

Just my personal feelings about it, not everyone will have the same experience.

I hear ya George!---To me they were made to be rode!,& I ride the piss out of mine everyday . I cant even fathom the thought of a clean exhaust on the inside of the pipe!--As a judge--I would have more respect for the guy who rode it 500 miles to get there!--Just the way I see it.---Richie

Bill, I didn't check the AMCA site much for a judging form but I've emailed you a scan of one from my copy of Steve Slocombe’s V-series book to give you some idea of what was involved a few years ago. But please check with the club to see if it is up-to-date. Even if it’s out-of-date it would be interesting to see what changes had occurred to the form in the intervening years.

Bill,

If your thinking of having a bike judged at an AMCA meet read Palmers book "How to restore your Harley Davidson from cover to cover two times.
Then goto an AMCA meet and look at the bikes being judged.
My opinion is you have to choose between a rider and an AMCA bike.
A few guys have tried to do both with the same bike, not easy but it has been done.
As mentioned above it will be judged to exactly the way it left the factory.

I cant even fathom the thought of a clean exhaust on the inside of the pipe!

Where do you guys come up with this crap! That isn't part of any judging scenario. I have been on judging teams over the years. I would do it again. I do not have anything of mine judged because I believe in building what I want and could care less if it is correct. I also spend a huge amount of time figuring out what IS correct. I do it for me and I share it with others. Maybe I shouldn't bother!
I am proud to be an AMCA member. Do I like everything they do? NO, but I don't like everything anyone does. And they are by far the best organization of its type in the USA, warts and all!

From the original question my response is purely from an AMCA standpoint, 100 point system. That was ,I believe, what the question was about.
When discussing shows for trophies and the like, it is all merely the judges opinion having nothing to do with a set of standards. Bragging rights and cheap trophies are the order of the day!
