Rat cafe huh! 1 mirror, drag pipes, no fork brace. Well at least you still got the stock air box!

Its not that ratty lookin!

[pat english]

looks pretty sick,but yeah i dont think its ratty lookin either.(i think you got paint the tank and fender flat black and the wheels red for it to be a rat bike)

Ok it's not a rat I think it's ratty since I never wash it and has patina. I think it runs better with stock air box.

[pat english]

yeah it loks pretty nice though.i like the tires and pipes.di dyou make the pipes?

I think the bike looks tits. How comfortable is that seat though? I keep seeing them like that and the cushion looks so thin. That's the look I went for with my homemade jobber but I added a lot more cushy for my tooshy.

Those drag pipes are awesome, did you make those yourself? I want to do the same to my 77 cb750f, I was going to just cut the stock pipes but took a closer look and they were twisted at different angles (instead of straight like yours).

I think those are made by Mac.you can cut down some pipes but these bikes like back pressure so exhaust should have a baffle.A stock air box also really makes these bikes run so much better.

There are some Mac drag pipes on ebay, but they're quite expensive. But they don't wrap all the way down under the engine. I'm thinking I might try and make some over the winter. I am running a stock airbox on mine, but with the drag pipes I was thinking about putting those 4" baffles they sell off ebay for bobbers/choppers and what not. Would that help with the back pressure? Or are those just a waste of time?
