Had to make my own front front drum hub brake mount on the stock rebuilt folks I smothed off and 2 packed. Ended up running a street bob front fender off a old build I did and it worked out well.
Then I picked up sporty tank for peanuts that really suited the build, made some brackets and machined up a brass fuel tap.
I made a battery box that houses the full size battery under ther the rear swingarm so the bike has electric and kick start capability. I ended up using a SR400 rear fender that I cut 20mm out of the centre and chopped off all the puss and welded the oem holes up also made a section to house tail light/indicators under rear lip and a support/strength rib down the center to keep it rigid.Īll mounted to swing arm for a constant snug fit! I made an axle mount number plate mount and light because I hate the look of number plates on fenders. Than i hand made a fake oil tank to house the electrical gear and could start deciding on a rear fender. The front I ended up using an early Suzuki 21 inch with drum brakes, really like the simple look of a drum hub,no mumbo-jumbo. It needed a new wheel combo so after a few swap meets I found a Harley 16 by5 rear rim with the same spoke count as the xs hub so i relaced them together than I had a lot more options for rear tires. It started its life as a 1976 xs650 non runner that ended up in my shed recieving unsolicited advances from my 5″, I chopped a lot of ugly off it leaving only the folks, front section and swingarm then re made the rear sub and seat section for a solo seat I found on marketplace which fit the brat-bob style a bit more. Howdy from oz, I’m sending you my build I recently finished for my partner Tiffany aka “the brat” (she hates when I call her that) which worked out well for her brat-bob inspired build.
