"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.
