I hope it wasn't a roll-bar, they might not have gotten the concept right.. ;)

Intake doesn't look very rainproof

They all seem to be a mixture of the eye catching and the absurd.

A lot of bike like that have cover that go over the ends to keep the rain out and they don't ride them in the rain.

I would agree that a lot of the are eye catching and maybe somewhat absurd. The standard of living is so low here that I think scooters and motorcycles are the equivalent of cars to many of them and it becomes somewhat of a status symbol to load up on after market accessories and customizations.

I am not sure what the spoiler is all about, but like I said in the first post, not everyone likes these sorts of things, but they do make for interesting viewing.

:lol: That USA bike is totally over the top.

The spoiler is for added downforce, of course! He needs that when cornering. :P

These are all quite amusing. I like bits and pieces though -- I wish I could get the rims from the bike with a spoiler, those look sweet.

There is a lot of work and imagination in them

Ouu...thanks kram, Like you, White I Like :D
Favs here are the 1st one, and last one (without pinky rim tape).
These one-of-a-kind PCX's are growing on me (a phrase we use here in the U.S. meaning: I'm starting to like them!) :ugeek: If for nothing more these owners are creative. World needs creative. These folks are "artists" and perhaps a bit crazy, but I'm diggin' it! ;) 8)

So what is that thing above the CVT that looks like a muffler? Speaking of mufflers, how did they get dual exhausts on those?

Givi tall windshield & tailbox - Lots of extra lights
Custom seat from Thailand - Bad Boy Airhorn
Takegawa Lowering Shocks - Michelin City Grip Tires

the thing that looks like a exhaust above the CVT is actually a air filter.

Mel, it is an aftermarket breather/filter. Here's a shot of the one on mine. I got it simply because I like the look of it, but as an added bonus (in my opionion) it gave the motor an bit more of a pop-pop sound when accelerating.
