As for how this came about in the first place, according to AFT’s website, “We wanted to raise the bar for spokes models in the Power Sports Industry. We carefully chose women with intelligence, a good work ethic, a sense of humor, strong family values and family support systems. The cool factor is they all help build world class customs in their spare time. These girls are in a league of their own. Simply put, they can walk the walk and talk the talk.”

What they crafted up here is a first place winner in the performance class at the 2012 AMD World Championship in Sturgis that also would be ridden at Bonneville by one of those spokes models. After looking at this YouTube clip, what can’t these girls do? If you’re skeptical about all this, well sometimes you just gotta have faith and this is something most bikers want to believe in.

The bike they chose to do a makeover on was a you-see-‘em-a-million-times-and don’t-look–twice 2001 Honda VT750. Obviously you can’t say the same about this bike now as this was a major makeover with a case of find the hidden radiator as part of the package. Jim stayed with stock frame geometry, but built a special stretched swingarm and did a lot of cutting and welding of the stock chassis. Lightweight aluminum rim spoked wheels, 19” front and 18” rear, are stopped by a six-pot Beringer caliper up front backed by a stock drum in the rear.

The bad Harley-clone stock bodywork is long gone with new pieces whipped up by the AFT girls in aluminum for the fenders and side panels and a new steel fuel tank. Kirk Taylor of Custom Design Studios did the paintwork and as usual, he swings at the first pitch and knocks it out of the park. Strikingly simple is the only way to describe it and that’s a perfect fit and description for the rest of the bike.
