In the same way that the masses of neon on the Vegas strip seem to simmer down after hours of boozing at the craps table have taken their toll, the GSX-R's mesmerizing paint will also eventually allow your eyes to roll back to their proper position so that the other obvious bling bits can make their announcements. A jackshafted 15-inch-over stock swingarm from newcomers Custom Cycles Limited hosts a 300-section RC Components "Havoc" rim. It's all firmly secured and rides stiff with a strut from the same firm.
The hanging two-pound nitrous bottle isn't there for huffing, but rather to pump gaseous horsepower into the mildly tuned motor. Exhaling the fumes is a Yoshimura Tri-Oval pipe that's obviously been trimmed down to its new and improved "shorty" status.
The complete package is a visually striking ride with just the right amount of finishing touches. A bit of luck doesn't hurt when taking a gamble on an intense theme, and for Wild Card Customs the dice landed right side up.

Suomy's "Gambler" helmet was what got Wild Card Customs moving on the bike's theme. We'll give you one guess what lid the bike's owner wears.
