As you may already know, these bikes are just a pleasure to work on - the simplicity of the overall design truly captures the original intent of the Japanese designers - a reliable/economic commuter machine.  As with all of our bikes, we do our best to help uncover the bikes soul ... and exposing/highlighting the bike's heart, her engine, is an important consideration - the skeleton of the bike also needs to be highlighted.  For the CB200T, we felt the unique box structure could be highlighted with a bright color ... when we went to the powder coater 's shop (we try to keep the money in the community by doing business with small/local shops), he had just pulled a bunch of red sprinkler piping from the oven ... Jim and I took one look at the pipe and new that was the color we would go with (we also knew it would be an economic color as he had tons of this powder for the big piping job).  And so, the rest came in to place ... the tail piece has become a signature BBR shape ... it is simple, all metal and gives our cafe racer's that vintage look - so many have asked if we could send them just a tail piece but for us, each piece of fabricated metal is specific for each build - we are not heading down the path of mass production and outsourcing the work elsewhere.
