    cool brat. the battery is mounted right under the swingarm mounts, you can see the bottom of it hanging out under the pipes

    Yes. this is a full size motorcycle battery underneath, there is much more to come with this but i was excited to share it on the site so hopefully the end result looks nice. i wanted to make it look like a one off.

    note the bmx foot pegs, I’ve seen pics of this bike with the seat mounted, it’s a VERY gnarly bike. top notch fabs.

    Please post some more pics and info of your battery setup. My wife is builder her own brat and we’re trying to find a good place for the battery while still maintaining the starter for her. Going to be tough. What battery did you use? Also did you buy or make those pipes?

    Cool pipes. They look just like the one’s my wife likes on one of Bratstyle’s bikes in Japan. We’re gonna model our brat project after that one and make a few changes to make it easier for her to ride (wassel tank and lower bars).

    i bought some 7/8 tube steel, bent it on a pipe bender, then welded it onto the frame where i chopped and grinded it down. it took some time too. had to fit the 7/8 tubing into the rear frame bars.
