I'm building a unicycle. What should I do to it to "pimp" it.

Lower it.

Put mirrors all over the surface of the unicycle

Make a custom billet 22" wheel that takes a standard car tire. Weld flames on back of the unicycle frame.

I'm still in 'ride up and down the hall touching the wall every few feet' mode, but the Jewnicycle is fun. Mostly because people see it and are all 'wtf?'. Ankle strength is key.

A trailer would be cool too, as long as it is a single wheel bob style.
