Default Odd mods...

Yesterday I decided to ride to work withour the windshield on. Won't do that again. However on the way home I saw a cruiser that had 4 pipes on it as in 4 mufflers, two on each side. Two cylinders and four pipes!!! Looked kinda strange. What really got me was it was as quiet as a Goldwing (it was a Yamaha v-Twin).
So here's my question. What are some of the oddest mods you've seen on people's rides? Inquiring minds want to know...
...o..o..0..0...O...O....

I think that was a V4 you saw. Still looks odd though.
