All of this pink and bling started out as a regular old 2010 Harley-Davidson Street Glide before serial custom bagger builder, Andrew Rumley, owner of Custom Cycles Ltd, in Greensboro, North Carolina, got his hands on it. Somehow I know this overall look was Jennifer’s idea as I doubt very much that Andrew had this built as a spec bike for sale. There’s so much of one woman’s personality and style in this build that I’m pretty damn sure Andrew had to find his inner woman to be sure he felt and understood where she was coming from. Okay, maybe my “inner woman” comment might have gone just a bit far, but this is not his first billion-dollar girl bagger. I did see another totally different customer pink bagger on his company’s website (which is really well done with lots of pics, info and many, many videos of past and current builds), so it’s obvious this was not his first time.

    Jennifer wanted a big 30-inch front wheel to build around, but not just any old billet wheel ─ she wanted a spinner and she got it. Not only did she get it, but she got it in pink too! For that bit of spinning nirvana, the call went out to Jeremy Tumblin and Jason Kurtz of their new combination of shops now called L&M Machine/Kurtz Customs. Some serious thinking and a bunch of machining and Jennifer had her spinning wheel.  You’ll never miss pink spokes against a chrome background busily spinning away, especially in this rather jumbo size. Put some LEDs on it at night and it could be a mistaken for a Ferris wheel. 

  Meanwhile Andrew got the frame ready to house the big wheel with a few frame mods to get the right clearance and dimensions along with his preferred lay-frame look. When I say it’s sitting on the ground, it really is sitting on the ground courtesy of front and rear air suspension and, of course, the ground. That’s sure gotta make it easy when you’re throwing a leg over this ride and you’ll notice how extremely low the custom made Butch Watson/HighRollers Cycle Seats saddle sits from the pavement. By the way, those three buttons you see on the seat house pink LED lights, how crazy custom cool is that? Hey, I lead a shallow life so let me enjoy that cute crazy quirk.

  Up front, stopping is handled by a six-piston caliper grabbing a lithe, yet big custom made rotor. Stopping power is definitely all the pretty narrow 30-inch tire can handle along with the stock H-D setup out back that’s gotta have a big say in how quickly this bike stops. I’m sure there’s plenty of stopping aboard for the hopped-up, now 106-inch Twin Cam engine that began life ten cubes smaller. A set of Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes bring on the power and the loud just in case somebody isn’t aware Jennifer’s out and about. Incredibly, the engine block is chromed and along with all the other ultra-chromey engine covers and bits and the Diamond Cut/pink powdercoated cylinders and heads, it’s an eyeful if there ever was one. Not exactly my cup of tea, but it’s not my bike. Is it fair to say Jennifer bedazzled the engine?

  When it came time for bodywork, Andrew turned to TOL Motorcycles in lovely Las Vegas for some body bling in the form of their Competition Killer body pieces. On first glance it looks like the stretched fuel tank/rear fender/bags is a one piece unit. Andrew’s molded side covers accentuate the smooth one-piece smooth even more. Yes, it’s certainly s-m-o-o-o-t-h. The TOL chin spoiler ties it all together at the fairing which is now about as far as you can take a batwing fairing until it’s something else altogether. Andrew did a great job melding a GSXR headlight with the traditional fairing along with quite a few other tweaks until it lost its OEM looks and pretty much became something else.

   Behind the fairing, Andrew changed things up a bit with premium audio speakers in every available nook and cranny while a mini iPad joins the stock instruments and sits in the V of the chrome on chrome handlebars and controls. A whole lotta chrome going on. I just hope that iPad is connected to a rear view camera as there’s not a mirror in sight and if I was riding that bike I’d want to know who was around me. This is a vehicle sure to bring the cell phone cameras out and the accompanying nuts driving while they try and get a photo of something they’ve surely never seen. On a ride like this, it’s nice to be able to plan your moves and not just react as it’s happening.

   Oh there’s a ton, a legal ton, of show chrome bling on board, but it wouldn’t be anything like bling after seeing the over-the-top pink paintjob by Brian Morgan of BKP Art in Easley, South Carolina. The pink is about as richly vibrant a hue as you could expect and as usual, the BKP Art graphics are beautiful. The airbrushed coming-and-going portraits of women on the fairing and rear fender are beautifully done while the other vintage-looking scrollwork graphics really add a 3D effect to the whole biz. It’s busy and clean at the same time while it really tops off an extreme build with a lot of chrome. If this bike doesn’t catch your eye, you’re either blind or dead. There could be no other excuse.

   So Jennifer got what Jennifer wanted and I’m sure she couldn’t be happier. This is one of those builds you’d never lose in a parking lot except maybe whoever bought the other Custom Cycles Ltd. pink bagger. Don’t worry, though, once Jennifer got closer than a hundred feet, she could easily tell which one was hers. Her bike is a one-off stunner in pink from a hundred feet away that has a look that Jennifer’s own and I’m sure that’s exactly what she was going for.
