I keep thinking your bike would look #$%*in with a more bratstyle seat than a straight-up cafe racer seat...

hey inks my son was diggin your bike at the show last sunday. and that exhaust is pretty tough looking on that ride. i pointed you out to him. but him and his friends seemed intimidated by you. i geuss some 19 and 20 year old boys aren't as bad as they think they are. any way your bike was cool looking i really like the exhaust on it and it was nice to meet you in person.

That first one looks cool.  Not enough padding for my fat a$$, but cool none the less.

See, I was about to cut up the seat I made to make one like the one on that green bike.
I like it.

James, were they all those kids that were hanging around behind where you were sitting?
Intimidated? Prolly cause I'm old as hell to them.  :D

I've been playing with sheetmetal now for about 20 years I absolutly hate rollers that have the "C" clamp style mount, you can never get them tight enough.

Yeah, but Brat Style is the name of the custom shop that modded that bike.  The style is now referred to as "brat style" but only because the look of that shop's bikes is so distinctive.  It'd be like if Cafe Racer was the name of a custom shop that made cafe racers and the style of bike was named after the shop.
