Just saw it on Facebook.

Only things I didn't like was the tails a bit short unless you want water, mud and shit up your back....

.....and not keep on the stickers, decal, paint mess. 

Longer tail and a coat of matt black and I'd ride that.   

:onya:

(Several bits of it look better than mine....  :rofl2: )

I cannot understand why you'd put a belly pan on a rat bike....

If folk don't clean bikes, paint them with rattle-can black, fix them on a budget (not always with the right parts!), dont bother fixing stuff that they dont have to etc I have no issue. Bikes that evolve and servive. Rough as guts but hard working survivors.

Folk who turn an OK bike into an instant Rat. Chopping up perfectly good bits,  glueing on plastic rats trying to create an instant  "look" are a different thing to me.

For a while folk were sporting Dilligaf stickers on there cars.
If I saw one in the mirror I'd pull in front of them in the bus.
When they complained I would point out that they did not give a fuck,
and to stop complaining.

That bike is better looked after than it looks, mechanically it looks good, the seat is in good order with some foam put round the bottom to
make it look worse. A coat of paint and a bit of polish and I think it would come up alright.
