  • Distinctive paint schemes
  • Loud aftermarket exhaust systems
  • Aftermarket headlights to replace often heavy headlight setups
  • Large rear sprockets to sacrifice top speed for more acceleration
  • Larger brake discs than stock
  • Improved brake calipers
  • Improved springs, shock absorbers, and various other parts to improve the chassis
  • Various performance improvements to the engine:

Ironically, some examples are so highly customized as to actually exceed the cost of the original repairs. Chromed and/or modified frames, expensive engine work, re-routed cables, various appearance accessories, and custom paint are also often seen.
