 Bōsōzoku (暴走族?, literally "violent running tribe") is a Japanese youth subculture associated with customized motorcycles. Bōsōzoku are known to modify their motorcycles in peculiar and often showy ways. A typical customized bōsōzoku bike usually consists of an average Japanese road bike that appears to combine elements of an American chopper style bike and a British cafe racer, for example: over-sized fairings like those found on cafe racers, raised handle bars like those on a chopper. Loud paint jobs on the fenders or the gas tanks with motifs such as flames or kamikaze style "rising sun" designs are also quite common. The bikes will often be adorned with stickers and/or flags depicting the gang's symbol or logo. There are also marked regional differences in motorcycle modifications. For example, Ibaraki bōsōzoku are known to modify their motorcycles in an extensively colorful, flashy way.[citation needed] They will often have three or four over-sized fairings in a tower like way in a motorcycle painted in bright yellow or pink with Christmas light–like adornments. Bōsōzoku customizations have been adopted by car tuners as well. They add wide bodykits and huge wings, resembling the 1970s and 1980s Japanese Touring Car Championship silhouettes.Attachment:

Looks like Cop bait in this part of the world with the wheels sticking out like that. Wheels too wide for the rims too but it sure looks Cool.
