Mod a Whizzer. You'll proabably have to cut it to widen it. Shouldn't be too hard, though.

'70s Yamaha 2-stroke tanks like the R5. For the untimate in long and narrow, check out the RD60.

i got a mx 100 tank it would look cool on my bike. needs to be cleaned out though. i been thinking about just cutting out that triangular bracing between the top tubes so i can run anything i want but i dont know how that will affect the strength of the frame.

I think you called them things braces, remove them and you have a hinge

Maybe take a tank that DOES fit and modify to make it look like YOU want...?
Those guys make some slick scoots...

Still not sure what bratstyle means. Just kinda look like half-chops to me.

Me too. What defines the style? They kinda look like cartoons. Is it the short wheel-base? Some of those look pretty good. Others...not so much

I'm not a chopper fan so maybe I'm just missing the whole thing.

wow never saw their webpage before. they do make some nice builds. another japanese builder that i like alot is zero engineering, but thats because i do have a thing for unique chopper builders. good luck on your build, i'd love to see your progress updates and the finished product.

Just make your own tank... Takes far less time and is easier than you think. Or take the tank you like and cut out the tunnel and make a new tunnel, then stitch her all back together.

These look like bobbers to me ............whatever

thanks for your imput guys. i like the style i really dont know what defines it though. most have a small narrow tank,tall wheels with old style firestones, small or no fenders at all, a low stance. bratsyle is the name of a bike shop. there are other shops that make similar bikes so i guess the style is really an asian style for metrics. shops like zero make some bad ass asian style harleys too.

They just look like bobbers to me. Do I need to put higher bars on the bike in my avatar to have a bratwurst?

My momma always tole me "if you can't say nothin nice about a Japanese chop, then just don't say nothin, son".

unky ernie, YOU COULD BE THE FIRST ON YOUR BLOCK!
