JAP STYLE
Bōsōzoku are known to modify their bikes in peculiar and often showy ways. A typical customized bosozoku bike usually consists of an average Japanese road bike that appears to combine elements of an American chopper style bike and a British café racer, for example: oversized visored fenders like those found on café racers, "sissy" bars and 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. They will often have three or four oversized visored fenders in a tower like way in a motorcycle painted in bright yellow or pink with Christmas light–like adornments.
Bosozoku also have a distinct style of car modification, eponymously called "bosozoku style".[1] These cars are often modified with large exhaust pipes, bright paint, and large aero kits. Also popular are oil coolers or less commonly large turbo or supercharger intercoolers with highly polished tubing, usually mounted in a prominent position in the front bumper (wikipedia)

Indo chopper history
This cover shot for Aktuil magazine( Indonesian music magazine from the 70s-80s) is a valid proof that chopper culture was already sprouted since way back in Indonesia. In the cover was the late Gito Rollies(RIP)...one of Indonesian greatest rocker strike a pose on a period correct brit or Honda chopper...I mean look at all the goodies, the handlebars, the Maltese cross mirror, oh and lets not forget those way out there front end and also Gito's bitchin' afro look...just perfect...I always wonder where did all those choppers from that era now,because I couldn't find any info, basket case, parts or remains of those Indo 70s choppers....its just gone, its like those choppers was never exist here.
RS- Daaaamn....

good one...
got this from T-bone's blog...it reminds me to my conversation with vero about trends in the so called kustom kulture world...I guess, it'll all come down to each personal preferences and taste...but sometimes there's some people out there that didn't really get it but then they act like Mr.know it all...sucks!!
hotrot datsun
The traditional hot rods are usually powered by a V8. Chevys, Flatheads, Hemis are all pretty common. Here are a pair of hot rods that go against the grain by using the good old L series.
Street Rodder magazine did a series of articles in 1976-77 about their "Datsun Street Roadster" project car. It was built with a Model A frame, glass '29 Ford body, and L20B and running gear from a Datsun 620 pickup (via Nissan's US Manager of Technical Engineering, Bob Whitehead). The car set a G/Street Roadster record of 115.786 at Bonneville in '76.
From the June issue of Street Rodder, 1977
