This is my first attempt at a build... I was really inspired by the "bratstyle" builds and wanted something with an old school look but daily driver functionality... Everything on this bike is being done by myself and a handful of my friends.
I decided not to bend the frame or replace the seat rails to use the solo seat... instead I had Sean weld in a new tail section with a slight lip and cut me out a custom seat pan... I'm going to attempt to upholster it myself... yikes.
I decided I wanted to go with an old school look with the original rear fender so I had Sean bend out any imperfections, weld shut the original mounting holes and sand blast off the chrome...
No plans, was trying to decide if I was going to keep all the OEM painted parts as a set and sell them, part them out or keep them so the bike could have a stock look if I sold it... did you need a tank?
