On the streets of Hollywood, what you roll on says everything about your ride, and when it came to sourcing wheels for his hotted-up Hayabusa, Navarro spared no expense. He went straight to Lexani Wheels-a brand more commonly seen on automobiles driven by hip-hop heavyweights like Snoop Dogg and Xzibit-for a set of one-off prototype motorcycle wheels custom-cut specifically to work with the lines of this bike. The rear hoop is a 250 width, hanging from a six-inch-over extended swingarm. The exhaust system is a one-off as well, featuring a custom-bent midpipe from Tin Works in Hesperia, California, that connects to a cut-down Yoshimura exhaust can positioned to exit out of what was formerly the taillight opening.
There's no question that any custom bike gathering lately will be a gallery of stretched and slammed Hayabusas, all of them for the most part identical save for a different shade of candy paint. In custom sportbike circles, the model is just that popular. Thanks to its radically cut bodywork, Carlos Navarro's bike definitely stands apart in a sea of same old Hayabusas, and it doesn't look the least bit out of place slotted in among a bunch of more modern, origami sportbikes either. Perhaps Suzuki's styling department should take some notes.
