Hi there, I´m Bugeater from Holland (as in is Holland, Europe. Not the small town somewhere in the middle of the states...). I'm a sales rep for a Dutch filing-multinational, and I live in the North of our beautiful, but flat country. I just bought myself a basket-case SR-500 from unknown age, with two frames (one of them is goosenecked...). The plan is to 'Bratstyle' the SR. (see www.bratstyle.com for examples). This is now The Thing around here, to rip apart small one or two cylinder bikes, en chop them 'no nonces style'. A bit OldSkool choppers; small tires and ape's. You know the drill. My previous bikes where a chopped DR-500, a chopped GSX-1100 and my present ride is a rebuild-to-a-RoadKing-FLTC Harley. .......... oh, I just want to say how glad I am that your forum has a spelling-check......

Welcome bugeater! I happened on that brat style web site a few days ago and was admiring the styling. Very trick bikes. Good luck with the build and snap us some photos when you can! Gary Hopwheels

Next Wednesday I'll pick up the bike (or rather, all the bits & bobs........I hope) , en will keep you posted on the build.
Watch this pace.
Are there any other Bratty's here? Or are you all in to the original / caferacer / flattracker style?

Just to keep you www.motor-forum.nl/forum/list_messages/158102/0 informed. I know, it's in Dutch, but it's the pictures that counts..... It's not going as fast as I wished for, but I'm not in a hurry. The engine is now being overhauled by a tech-friend (in change for the black racer-tank), and I'm now checking out several different tanks. The one that I currently using is from a old 50 cc moped (a Kreidler, anybody heard of that over there?), but I'm not quite happy with the looks. It'll probably be a Sportster in the end.... if I can get it fixed (d**n big oil tank/top tube).
