The Tangelo Orange House of Kolor paint shimmers in the sun and is contrasted with the tribal graphics, which are integrated with painted carbon fiber panels. When you first look at the bike it looks like a highly detailed standard bagger, the fit and finish is carefully refined. But after a few minutes you begin to notice it isn’t standard at all. It’s integrated so well it almost looks like what should roll off the factory assembly-line. The bike build required 6 months and was a collaboration between Kyle Heller, GM of Hot Rod Harley-Davidson, and the owner Mark Jacobs. Hot Rod H-D is located right off Lake Michigan. The riding season is a short, allowing guys like Jacobs and Heller to sit and evaluate magazines, catalogs, specifications, and websites to perfect any design. Some of the hottest bikes come from the coldest climates in the states. The heart of the custom is the 120R engine. The pros from Hot Rod pulled the mill out and had it trued, balanced, and Revolution Performance welded the crank pin to insure an unmoving true lower end. New pucks were replaced with 10.5-1 high compression nickel-plated forged pistons in 4.060 bore cylinders. A Screamin’ Eagle 266E cam along with Screamin’ Eagle valves, springs, pushrods, lifters, and hi-flow air cleaner were installed in the engine. A hi-po high-flow D&D Boarzilla 2:1 pipe was mated to the engine to produce increased torque and 135 horsepower. The bike was tuned specifically to pull hard off idle and in the passing zone. The front-end sports a 23-inch forged and contrast cut Hole Shot Eclipse wheel from RC Components. A set of custom 7-degree rake trees was installed to accommodate the big front wheel. Paul Yaffe’s 6-gallon stretched tank, SS side covers, Thicky 23-inch fenders and stretched outer fairing were selected to deliver that custom look. A Summit rear fender was attached to tear drop LED lights and bolted to Bad Dad stretched saddlebags. The contrast cut metal components throughout the bike combined with the black, white and Tangelo Orange really makes this Street Glide a showstopper You can imagine that a custom bike from Hot Rod needs to run, as their customers tend to travel all across North America during a short riding season. And even with the 23-inch wheel, the snake sits and handles like it came from the factory. Additional goodies in the build include Arlen Ness derby cover, timing cover, saddlebag latch covers and front turn signals. Harley-Davidson supplied the boom audio amp, boom audio speakers and saddlebag lid speakers.
