Of course it's no fun if your roadster looks just like every other of a billion roadsters in the country so why not spice it up!
Let's take a look at the bike below. First let's add some pillion foot rests and add some tassels to that. Then a day-glo reflector, seat cover, various mirrors, hub polishers, a horn, an Indian Flag, decals, spoke decorations including a fish, a strange handlebar mounted package rack, garlands of flowers, and to top it all off, not one,not two but THREE mudflaps featuring Bollywood actresses! Hey, Aishwarya Rai can ride on the back of my bike anyday!
Or maybe you want to take a different path: Wrap your tubes with pictures of Bombay Beauties and put some CDs in the spokes.
Or you can take a more modest approach. Like this spray painted image of the Hindu god Ganesh found on the rear fender of a BSA. Swastikas are also often similarly applied as they are a potent and ancient Hindu totem. Finally, take a look at the brass mandala "wheel of life" charm. Is it coincidence that it looks like a chainring...or is it karma?
PS: Note the small top bar child seat behind the on the bike with the Mandala charm.
