Fist Bobber/Brat Build

[mshick68]

Well here is my first build. Started as a 1982 special. I,m thinking of a visual impact seat kit to get the stance a little lower. Any ideas or suggestions. What do you guys think? I can take any comments. Thanks!

Thats very nice for your first build - well done! I like it!!
Personally I would lose the chequer plate and go for "see through" - show off some nice pod filters!!

paul, thanks for your input. Funny thing I was just thinking to take them off and drop the seat etc...

Great minds think alike

I like it. I agree with Paul about opening up the sides.

Have you seen the Monster Craftsman brat kit?

I like to see the pods as well

I have seen both the monster craftsman and the visual impact kits. I really want to do this myself. So why not drop the bars straight down like the yellow line in the pic? Do you see any design flaws? I could weld this with left over frame tubing. Please fire away.

I don't see a problem with that... check up the bike in post 89.... he has constructed his own "kit" and it looks real good too... you can ook up his build thread.
