Performance Machine April Bike of the Month Winners

Last week we posted the Performance Machine Bike of the Month for April Call for Entries to enter your custom motorcycle in the PM April Bike of the Month contest sponsored by Performance Machine.  Remember, to qualify it could be any combination of PM products.  That’s right, it cold have been Performance Machine disc brake calipers, brake rotors, PM hand controls or foot controls, or any combination of forged wheels, hand grips, foot pegs, air cleaners, mirrors, or more.

As promised, please take a look at the three winners of the Performance Machine’s April Bike of the Month contest here at Boss Hawg Blawg. They are as follows:

1. Jim E.’s 2010 HD Street Glide

Jim’s 2010 HD Street Glide features the following PM products:

- Contrast Cut Heathen wheels
- Matching rotors
- Renthal grips
- Chrome bag latches

And here’s Jim’s statement about his bike:

“ I am happy to report that my wife picked out the wheels on this bike!  That is a big deal, as the first time she rode it, we had to pull over so she could vomit-it made her motion sick! The bike was purchased REALLY new (was only 2 weeks off assembly line) from Adamec Harley in Jacksonville. Maiden voyage was to St. Augustine, FL and she refused to ride it again, until I put on a detachable sissy bar.  Motion sickness solved-off to Daytona for Biketoberfest.  While at Biketoberfest (with my bone stock Street Glide), my buddy decided to buy a chopper-which kinda made my bike look..well..stock.  While walking around Destination Daytona, we started looking at wheels, and my wife fell in love with the PM wheels.  If I wanted new wheels, those had to be the ones! While waiting for the wheels/tires/rotors to be installed, I went ahead and put on PM bag latches, PM grips, and a Kuryakyn curved license plate frame.  When we got home, the bike went straight to HD to get the front end chromed out, Covington Cycle fork bells, and lowered 2.5”. Still a work in progress, but at least the wife doesn’t get sick & she loves the wheels!”

2.  Rhonda H.’s 2008 HD Crossbones

Rhonda’s 2008 HD Crossbones features the following PM products:

- Stealth Contrast Cut Factor wheels
- Stealth Contrast Cut Factor Brake Discs
- Stealth Contrast Cut Belt Sprocket

Here’s Rhonda’s statement about her bike:

“My 2008 HD Crossbones is my baby.  I have put PM Factor Contrast Cut Stealth wheels, rotors and pulley on it.  Also sporting XO Prodox Shooter grips, highway pegs and shifter pegs.  One off custom made front axle nut covers.  Love the sound of it from the Vance & Hines Big Radius pipes, the Kuryakyn Hyper-charger and the power commander.  Changed the sprung seat to a more lean, lower chopper style seat.  There is custom pin-stripping on the horn cover.  This bike is definitely not your typical chick bike.  Gotta love it.  Ride safe and ride often.”

“My 2009 FLHX Street Glide is my 1st Harley Davidson bought brand new as well as my 1st Touring Bike, I have owned only used Harley by the past, It was difficult to choose the right parts (among all the Aftermarket parts available for Touring Bikes) and get the right harmony between Black & Chrome !
