We love bikes.
Sports bikes, cruisers, street fighters and custom builds all make us froth at the mouth. Then there are Roland Sands custom builds.
Simply put, the RSD guys just take it to the next level of awesomeness.
For today’s installment of the RSD Build of the Week, we’ve got the Black Beauty.
This looks like it could have been built by the Mayans. The RSD Black Beauty making beauty eternal. Image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/25/black-beauty/.
When you see the pictures of this build, you can tell a lot of love and care went into this customized 2003 Harley Davidson Softail.
How much love? Let me count the ways:

Yyyyarrr. The Black Beauty be a work of art. Image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/25/black-beauty/.
The Black Beauty was such a great build it was also featured on the March 2010 issue of Ultimate Motorcycling. Quite honestly, we think it should have been featured on every motorcycle publication out there.
The seat alone must have taken 20 hours of work. Image from http://www.rolandsands.com/wp/2009/07/25/black-beauty/.
And the price? When we checked the specs for the build, they wrote this estimated price: “Money Bags”. Love it.

To create Essential Style for Men, mix 2 parts petrol, 1 part secret agent, 1 part rock and roll, 1 part hip-hop and a shot of tequila in a shaker with ice and vigorously shake for 20 seconds. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with explosives and have a supermodel serve for all your friends to enjoy.
