79 Brat, almost done
- 9
I purchased the bike less than a year ago. I immediately fell in love with Joel Mekolites Brat style, But didnt want to copy to closely. Thanks for the inspiration Joel. You make a great lookin bike. I have a very tight budget, but am near complete.
I cannot wait to start another bike. Typical build, nothin fancy. Great site, lots of cool bikes and ideas here.

love the seat!
hey doug the bikes lookin good are they two into one pipes if so where did u get them ?
bad ass man, i think the next bike i build is gonna be a brat
If you guys are going to call it a “Brat,” you can at least try to do their shop name justice by coming close to what they create. A little bend in the frame and some shorty shocks doesn’t instantly make it a Brat. Joel Mekolites on the other hand accomplished the “look” of that style. Outside of Japan, like here in the USA, I’ve seen very few “Brat” builds that capture the magic of the Bratstyle swing arms.
Hey Mick T those are just stock header pipes, turned in and run under the engine.
build it your way and whip it. if it was all a certain “style” that everyone had to follow and keep them the same “style” it would suck. good F*$#@N job!!
Thanks for the comment Idaho Chad!
jSv is right everyone should go get their manual on how to build an authentic brat “style” bike…. you can find it on whogivesacrapjustbuildyourbikehowyouwantitandbehappyandcallitwhatyouwant.com
or just call it what you want like…. catstyle… fratstyle…gnatstyle…fatstyle….. make up a new one so its your own style and people wont cry…. that is if its not exact specs to what people believe it is supposed to be….
