Wicked Paintworks & Granite State H-D | 2011 Harley-Davidson Street Glide FLHX

Natascha wanted something clean, simple, and edgy; and she loves black. Derek came back with the Chaos undertone idea, and she loved it. Then they went to work piecing together the components that will really make this bike hers. Natascha started with a Le Pera single saddle gel seat with removable pillion & H-D’s Edge Cut theme for pegs/floorboards/grips/etc. Natascha went with PM’s Contrast Cut wheels that she thought would complement the bike nicely; adding 3 inches to the front wheel and 1 inch to the back. Natascha added H-D’s LED black headlamp (“a FAVE!!!” as she says), blacked out what she could, added Yaffe Monkey handlebars, converted it to a 2-into-1 exhaust with black Night Stick muffler, and finally added a Stage 2, 103ci kit. To help with the tunes, H-D Boom! Audio gear was installed in the inner fairing. Natascha says, “The bike is fantastic. I don’t think I’d change anything about it.”

“Business, as in life, needs to be critiqued constantly, and I love what I do and the people I work with and around, even more,” said Natascha. Continuing, “When I met Derek and his wife, Anne, we immediately connected with our similar (and intense) views of business and work ethic. He’s not afraid to try something new…”

Natascha’s closing words to me were, “Love life. Live life. Make it your own. Rock On…thanks Derek!” B

Chaos Undertone

The paint scheme on Natascha’s bike is called Chaos, and it’s one of six “undertones” that Wicked currently has the designation, “Chaos Undertone copyright Wicked Paintworks 2007,” registered with the U.S. copyright office. This bike is a true one-off when it comes to the paint. There will never be another black and white Chaos Undertone motorcycle ever. Derek will not paint one and if someone else does, Wicked would fight for its copyright. It’s not just the black and white Chaos that’s under copyright; it’s the graphic itself in any color.

Derek told us, “As far as I know, we are the only custom shop that chemically fuses graphics to the base color. The Chaos undertone is made up of 19 different chemicals and is done in several stages. The paint took more than 170 hours to complete and was done by me, Derek Lesperance of Wicked Paintworks.” wickedpaintworks.com
