Rat Brat Tracker Style is a mouthful. That's what the Ah-8-Tee has become.
Rat - cause of the old bits i have thrown at it.
Brat - the seat.
Tracker - the bars.
Yes there is still more to be done.
Old chopper seat is being fitted up to the bike.
It will be inter-changeable with the old BMW seat I have. Need to be able to take wife for rides.

I think, for that seat, you need to be looking for a small, custom fuel tank.
And since you don't need the sub-frame for the suspension, that could be minimalized, as well.

Have you seen what is under the tank? AARRGGHH all that wiring and boxes. The tank stays. It is planned to have a paint job soon.
The brat seat is way too narrow for the sub-frame. The sub frame stays as it has to take my 2 up seat. I have a cunning plan for the brat seat to integrate into the sub frame. Off to do that now.

So what did you do over the Xmas break? Eat, drink and be merry? I did a small amount of that and a huge amount of wrench'n.
So seat is mounted to a cut down skateboard deck. One bolt and it comes off. 2 bolts and the old BMW seat goes back on that take pillions.
Fly screen fitted and painted.
Small tail light fitted as the Ford Tail light was too heavy and was braking the bracket I had made for it.
The is a colour change coming for the tank. Would like some better looking mufflers too. All in the future. New saddle bag to be made.
For now I am more than happy with my Rat Brat Tracker Style Beemer.
