X-RATED BOB

When I first laid eyes on this bike, George Thoroughgood’s ‘Bad to the Bone’ started playing in my head. So I am going to take creative license here, and call this bike X-RATED Bob. Because folks, that’s what this bike is…B. A .D!

From behind this bike looks like Beyonce’, it’s got some booty. And it’s low and kinda sexy looking, with an element of menace. The Le Pera bare Bones seat adds to the bikes low mean lines, as does the lowered shocks and the rear end is finished off with a neat fender filling Tri Bar taillight off the CVO FAT BOB.

As you cast your eyes along the lines if this bike from back to front, you pick up subtle add on’s like chrome H-D axle covers and battery and electrical panel covers etc. Then further along you look at the motor and a small emblem on the heads says ‘CNC Ported’ alerting you to the fact that this bike is no stocker. In fact this beast is a 113 cubic inch Screamin’ Eagle beast whose sole purpose in life is to burn rubber and consume petrol like a bastard alcoholic. And it does that very well.

The engine breathes via a chrome S/E heavy Breather and a set of chrome Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes. The front end matches the rear end for beauty with chrome lower sliders and custom bars from Burleigh bars and genuine chrome switch gear a bullet headlight etc. We don’t have any horsepower figures at this stage as the bike is still being run in. But based on builds we have done before, I would not be surprised with figures exceeding 110 rear wheel horsepower.

The owner of this bike, Matt, knew exactly what he wanted and entrusted our
H-D Service workshop to build it for him. His mantra was simple. He wanted fast, low and fat. I’d say he got exactly what he wanted. Wouldn’t you?

Our H-D Service department can create your next build, start imagining.
