At first glance I thought this would be one for the eBay WTF thread, but the more I read the more I liked- she's definitely not a looker, or really that amazing engineering or power-wise, but that was a great little project, something that really appeals to me and I would have enjoyed doing.

I spotted this for sale on FriendFace, ok it's not very interesting (in fact it's got my pet hate exhaust wrap), but there's a modification that I'd never thought of doing :)

Yeah, I think so.

I think my Sonos Move might look out of place, but I've got a smaller 4Gear one that I could zip tie to the handle bars of the GS :)

To quote Wikipedia...

"Japanese youth subculture associated with customized motorcycles"

Basically if it's got a silly seat, ape hangers and often a very silly raised fairing it's Bosozoku.
