This is my 1983 Honda Nighthawk Rat. I cut the rear section off, Gave it about an 7 inch strectch and welded a hardtail section on. I wanted a drop seat type look. I used a Jack bottle for a gas gauge, A 1988 chevy blazer shift lever for a jockey shift lever, and a foot clutch. I used forward controls from tc bros, an air bag for the seat. The back bone was cut to give it a slight rake and the down tubes were extended 4 inch. The tank is from the garage not really sure what it was from. The tank was modified to sit low on the backbone in the rear but high at the front, also had to notch the front for the bars to turn into. No paint on any of the raw metal that I added and only primer on the tank. I almost forgot about the plexi glass windshield on the bars. very functional. I hope you enjoy the pics, I thank you for your interest.
