Default Brat-Rod seat

Got with Chappell Customs and TuffSide and got a new seat designed for my street rod. I wanted to lift my *** above my knees, and was after a certain look. Here's what they came up with. I dig it, and it achieved what i was looking for.

Here are some shitty comparison pics of the seating position of the old seat vs the new. My hand ended up in the way but you can see that I'm in less of a squat with the new seat.






oem seat, hips below knees

new seat, hips above knees

Heck ya! I bought my roadster because of the seating position of the street rod. That looks good, and probably feels a lot better too!

I like the seat. Reminds me of a standard style bike. The quality looks really nice!

So how is your Street Rod holding up? Has the Brat seat made a difference? I like the Street Rod but the seating posture is really weird. Is their any way to relocate the footpegs to a comfortable position? 🤔
