Hi Everyone,

And I saw some CB there. Please take a look.

I did not see any Over frame at that time. 
But I saw CB550four racer at back yard. Its owner changed FRP tank to aluminum tank.  I am not sure if Over racing made aluminum tank.  There must be some tank builder in Suzuka area.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Several days after visit to Over racing, I saw some CB750four at restrant.
They are Bo-so-zoku style.  How do they look?

Ok, I had to look up "bosozoku".   

Those are nice looking bikes, hardly what I'd call radically modified.
I'd like to see a better photo of the case protectors on that second bike.
They look interesting.

From Wikipedia:

"Bōsōzoku are known to modify their motorcycles in peculiar and often showy ways. A typical customized bōsōzoku bike usually consists of an average Japanese road bike that appears to combine elements of an American chopper style bike and a British café racer, for example: over-sized fairings like those found on café racers, raised handle bars like those on a chopper. Loud paint jobs on the fenders or the gas tanks with motifs such as flames or kamikaze style "rising sun" designs are also quite common. The bikes will often be adorned with stickers and/or flags depicting the gang's symbol or logo. There are also marked regional differences in motorcycle modifications. For example, Ibaraki bōsōzoku are known to modify their motorcycles in an extensively colorful, flashy way. They will often have three or four oversized fairings in a tower like way in a motorcycle painted in bright yellow or pink with Christmas light–like adornments. Their motorcycles were often cobbled together from stolen motorcycle parts and thus suffered from numerous break downs and maintenance problems."
