    "butt-jewelry" ?

    Butt-jewelry, noun: dismissive term used by "true bikers"
    (those who ride light, fast, practical, sweet handling,
    usually Japanese, German or Italian machines) to describe
    the over-adorned, expensive, showy, chrome encrusted,
    usually American made ornaments that are so impractical
    as to often be towed on a trailer to within 20 miles of
    the actual rally site and ridden primarily to attract
    attention.
