At a quick glance the monochromatic paint might help the ‘Busa slip on past without capturing a second look. But light the LEDs and it comes alive. There’s no denying this monster. The biomechanical scheme was born from a denial of candy colors and traditional tribal.
Custom paint jobs can get repetitive—it seems like tribal slashes, flames and skulls appear on everything from T-shirts to motorcycle fairings and very few artists stray far from the standard theme. Garwood Custom is one shop that has done well to give customers loud, in your face spray jobs that normally utilize standard elements such as tribal and skull patterns. Garwood knew it was taking a chance when it laid down this striking scheme, but it paid off tremendously and demonstrated that there’s deep interest for unique yet subtle paint.
A wide tire and massive stretch typically support such a wild paint job, and those components were included despite the fact that it was created as a daily rider. Sharp and aggressive RC Components Havoc wheels take the place of stock hoops, and a C&S Customs ten-over swingarm adds the desired substance and size to the rear.

The big crowd pleaser is the bio-mechanical paint scheme laid down by Garwood’s go-to shop, Team Neyon. At a glance the paint suggests a sci-fi scene, but during a walk around the collection of skulls, wires, bones and chains really come alive. The elaborate paint has a way of pulling people in deeper as they begin to discover the various details and “hidden” features. The silver base with black and bronze laid over keeps the color choice simple and allows the detail to speak for itself.
The bike was built with simplicity in mind and to be used as a daily rider, but we’d say it’s anything but basic. Amazing paint detail and impressive aftermarket components make for a ride we’d love to spot out on the city streets.
