- BIKE MODIFICATIONS
Chuck is an ex-motocross racer and can modify motorbikes in a variety of ways.
Bring a bike to the Combo Bay and combine it with weapons or paint.
Experiment with different combinations and ride in style!
The dirtbike is the only vehicle the player can customize with new paint jobs or modifications. The player cannot paint the Chopper or the Mercenary Bike.
The following is a list of every item that the player can combine with the bike:[2]

Trivia[]
- The default dirtbike color is red. As seen in the PC game file items.txt, there are six different subtypes that a bike may be set to, which determines what color the bike will appear as:
TextureSubType = "0"(Red Rocket)TextureSubType = "1"(Red Rocket)TextureSubType = "2"(Blue Thunder)TextureSubType = "3"(Green Machine)TextureSubType = "4"(Great American)TextureSubType = "5"(Purple Punisher)[4]

TextureSubType = "2"creates the Blue Thunder, not the Green Machine.
