What Jermaine’s been up to for the past year is radically and I mean radically re-working his 2004 Harley-Davidson Road Glide into something else altogether.

Doesn’t hurt that he has an in at one of the most prolific and crazy bagger builders, Back Yard Baggers in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, for help, advice and plain old work. First there was the cutting and re-welding of the neck so he could mount that big ass 30-inch pink and black wheel up front with nary a brake part insight. Then he built an air suspension into the raked-out fork to match the air drop out back which hides the rear wheel so well you never see it when parked. It could be a single caster setup lying under there for all I know, but I’m pretty sure there’s a wheel and tire lurking underneath the CamTech Customs fender and bags.

 

 

Needles to say, the rest of the CamTech bodywork was heavily massaged including that now non-Road Glide fairing along with the tank and the sorta traditional-looking front FLH-style fender. What’s not pink is black and what’s not pink or black is a covered in a tasteful wrap of Playboy covers by Jody Goodwill of SRM Paintwerks. Even those Dirty Bird Concepts handlebars are pretty in pink even if I’m not particularly fond of the color on vehicles. But, they do go with the rest of the bike anyway and that’s all that counts.

 

   With the heavily revised frame now sporting a matching pink powder coat by Exotics Powder Coating, it was time to play with the drivetrain. If there’s anything that’s deceptive in pink, it’s the built-up Harley Twin Cam that goes where most custom baggers don’t bother to travel to ─ the land of high performance.

Jermaine has plumbed in a turbo that is sure to get the bagger up to well over 200mph in the blink of an eye. Nah, I just wrote that to see if you were paying attention, but I’m sure he can make the hidden rear tire spew smoke at his beck and call like an ‘80s hair band performing on stage.    

 

 What Jermaine has come up with along with help from a lot of his friends in the biz is one hot bagger that is bound to capture just about anyone’s attention even if they don’t like motorcycles. Even the guy who thinks Harleys are the devil’s handiwork will surely steal a glance or two at Jermaine’s Road Glide and never see anything other than the Playboy covers. Maybe he’ll even find his favorite one, but he’ll keep it to himself until he gets home to his secret stash. But Harleys? They’re the work of the devil.

 

  As for you Mr. Hefner, at 87-years-young, this over-the-top, centerfold-worthy bagger is something you could mount and ride the hell out of without needing a little blue pill. Man, what can’t motorcycles do?
