AASP/NJ Auctioning Nub-Customized Harley Davidson

The Alliance of Automotive Service Providers of New Jersey (AASP/NJ) will be auctioning off a customized 2017 Harley Davidson Softail Slim motorcycle at the 40th annual Northeast Automotive Services Show.

The Harley’s custom paint job was done by industry legend Nub of Nub Grafix in Walden, N.Y. During the show, the Harley will be displayed at the AASP/NJ booth, where Nub and Javier Soto will finish the customization right there on the show floor.

“Every year, we have seen the show grow more and more. This year, I wanted to bring attendees to the show with something different. I know that members of our industry really like to watch cars and bikes get built, so I thought doing some type of build or customizing at the show would really bring in a crowd,” said AASP/NJ Board member Dave Laganella of Peters Body & Fender.

The Harley will be sold through a silent auction at the Northeast show. More details will be announced throughout the next few months.

“This year, we’ve elevated their presence to the next level, and I personally can’t wait to see what amazing things they are going to do together in creating this special edition bike. If you’re a motorcycle enthusiast or just a fan of terrific custom paint jobs, you won’t want to miss attending NORTHEAST 2017 to see the final result of this project,” said Jeff McDowell, AASP/NJ president.
