Brat-style Bonnie?

Has anybody Brat-Styled their Bonneville?

If so, please post picks as I am about to start doing it to mine (I've ordered the 18-inch rear wheel & 19-inch front wheel, powder coated black rims and hubs, and Vintage Firestones), and was wondering how it will look...

Cheers,
Dave
Australia

PS If only I could buy one of those cool Japanese Brat-Style bikes like from Berry Bad Customs..!

Not my style, but to each their own.

Japanese tuner/builder.
Click on "custom".

Not very unique, fanciful, bobber/rat bikes.
A couple appear to be a combination of bobbers with a cafe-esque seat.

I dunno about unique, but you'd be hardpushed to see many of those around! Judging from the size of the wheels & tires they don't look like they'd break any land speed records either!
They look cool though without a doubt but not my own preference. I saw a real nice Triton on the website, now that's what I'm talkin' about! (

And my absolute favourite is this BSA from Berry Bads:

Is this look possible on a new Bonnie?
