I just had to post this one. I've seen some "custom" paint jobs before but this one takes the cake...or maybe it had the cake dropped on it.

I had to grab those pics and re-post here for posterity. We have to save someone else the pain. "Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it."

Hope he got a good buy on the exhaust. Realy, what kind of exhaust is that>
I just can't help but look at it - kind of like looking at the scene of a car crash - you don't want to look but something compels you to! I'm trying to come up with a reasonable explanation as to why someone would choose that "scheme" or "motif" and they only thing I can think of is that maybe it was used by one of the Power Rangers? Either that or the "artist" was going for the FJ whore look. A natural beauty like the FJ doesn't require all that makeup. Sigh.
when I think of all the work that went into it.....and I still don't get the theme...or what he/she was trying to get or achieve. And they better have been riding it with a Shoei helmet....
Where does the yellow fit in with the picture...

Kookalooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
The exhaust (the can at least) is a D+D -- think the rest of it is too.
Got to think it didn't turn out in real life quite the way it looked in his mind...but at least his tires and chain look to be in top condition!

That's a D&D Exhaust. I recognized the Texas flag. I like their sound, but that one was not installed very well. They sound a lot like the Vance & Hines Supersport system (my favorite).

I had one installed on my CBR 600 a few years ago...
