Maybe someone on the forum can help you out. Most of the smaller shops over there do not ship out of the country. I've tried contacting them a few times and I came to the conclusion that no one at the shop speaks or reads english.
They look like sweet tanks. Probably the best $1000 spent on customizing a bike. I've been watching Brats site for years now, and they have developed a unique and simple style.

Par 34,
Are you looking for a steel or aluminum tank in that style?
Welcome to the Board too. Tell what you are up to, SR wise anyway.

Well, I'm about to give it a shot at forming a tank for my SR. I'll let you know how I do. It will take a few weeks to get it close.
I do some metal shaping in my business and thought I'd try a SR500 tank in a Cafe style.
Have a photo from Bratstyle of the tank your looking at? If you can, email to mitchellmotorworks@sbcglobal.net
I'll see if it may be feasible to duplicate.

I think they are reshaped paughco tanks, or something similar.

Ok, It's not going to hold much fuel tho! I'll see what I can do, don't get your hopes up yet. But it is a pretty simple shape to build to. Give me some time and I'll post back here.

Bratstyle has taken the "Craft" section off of their homepage.
They had a section where they added wider tunnels into basic section mustang-type universal chopper tanks. Basically they were taking a $100 generic chopper tank, reshaping it, and reselling it, but its clear some of their stuff is totally hand fabbed, I just dont think the $900 tank is a compete one-off. It would be easier to buy a 100$ tank instead of shaping all of the sections.
