How could one call this a modification? LOL

Looks like a Yamaha XS 650 reclaimed by nature.

It has nice alloys too.
Now, what do we call this, I heard of the venus flytrap - a plant that traps and eats flys.. never heard of the Jupiter Biketrap - tree that traps and eats yamaha bikes and makes people wonder.
Hope its not some guy who parked in a mangrove and went to take a leak.. to return to find his bike is lunch to the local bikevourous champion (2 bikes in one day) i'm dreaming!!!

Mods: Sorry, I didn't see this earlier and couldn't do a multi post.

HI,

Saw this bike on Kanakapura Road, Bangalore. A 350 cc ES modified to look like ghost bike. The owner and his friend did the modification on this bike. Snake is the silencer with two vents. One on left short travel and other continued line to the mouth of serpent. I felt the engine power is far too less to pull. Instead he could have fitted a M800 engine.

The guy has passion no doubt and is good at his work (fabrication).

The silencer right around the bike will it not cause hardhip for the pillion rider when it heats up.

That's a cool looking bike but I feel the pillion will have a really tough time with the silencer!

The ODO is set on the front suspension fork! How will one be able to see it while riding?

the son was kinda scared and the wife was very proud of her husband's creation , see how the kid is holding on to his father , and the look on the wife's face just before they took off .

hats off to the guy for pulling off something like that even though its crazy as hell.
