Yiull customized ‘The Disco’  to stand out by covering her with nearly 40kgs of mirror mosaic - most of it hand cut. Once that part was completed the customizing continued. He added billeted aluminium grips, a snake skin custom single seat, a custom performance exhaust, custom tubeless rims, modified suspension, the ‘la cucaracha' melodic air horn and LED lighting on the front and back.

 

The Disco Ball is continuously being photographed even when on the move. There have been numerous times when Yiull has felt someone following or watching him only to see them trying to capture some kind footage of The Disco.

 

The Disco Ball has featured in various publications from magazines to television, a couple of art exhibitions and even appeared on an award ceremony making an entrance onto stage to start the proceedings.

 

The Disco Ball’s trump card is her ability to make you smile.
