Awesome! Love the backbone/fretboard! The rear brake mech is fantastic as well. Very nice detail!

Thanks chad and everyone else for comments, some like, some don’t. I’m not real picky when it comes to the style, I like em all to tell you the truth. Its been hard in the last couple of years for me to get away from the rat and drop seat style though. I just like the way it looks and feels when you ride it. Bike originaly had drag bars on it, but to many of my older freinds didn’t like the way it felt, so I made a set of mini apes for it. Made it little harder to handle, but it has a great feel and you really hav to stretch out unless you got long arms. Buddy gave me Idea for rockabilly, so I tried to make as rockabilly as I could. Could hav went alot of different ways and maybe in future will build another rockabilly and do completely different, maybe even a little sicker than this,lol. But anyways it’s nice to see and hear from others that appreciate the rat style. For me it is just an artistic expression of the ideas in my head and way to get them out. I love building these things and enjoy looking at what others have built and come up with out of there minds. Some will get what im saying, and others will think its a joke, but thats ok,” for each his own” lol. I am in process of building another xs right now, bit it is going slow, I hav been sick alot lately and unmotivated due to this cold ass weather. The project Im working on currently will be called BENT, and it will be bent. Hopefully it will turn out as raaaaty and sicker than anything ive done yet. Can’ wait to get it done and show it on here to see what reactions it will get. Sorry for the bad pictures of rockabilly I put on here. There are better pictures on my website http://www.misfitskinnykustoms.com Once again thanks for all comments and ” Long liv the age of Rat”

That is a real peice of art. My style, raaaaaaaaattttt. The rockabilly theme is bad.

That has to be one of the best looking rear brake systems ive seen. sick with the chain and sprocket.

Thanks for comments, appreciate very much. Mike, the tank is an old sporty. I split it, took little out of center, including gas bung, put two on each side. Put petcock on left side and liquer bottle fuel site gauge on the right. There is also a petcock on bottom of right side, both come into a T. I think more time goes into the thaught process of the build then the actual build lol.
