Looks very cool, Chuck! Diggin' all the little details: the key ring hanging on a chain, off of Mister "1%" for instance. Age-wise, I missed most of these in the hobby shops, when I was a kid. Never saw this one on store shelves at all ... so it's always sweet to see one being built up; and given a personal vibe, too.

1963 issued Brother Ratfink , bike, and kit supplied “Sanitary Bat” riding on top of the sissy bar .. lots of modifications done to bike as shown during work in progress . I added the red drool and tongue to the “Brother” to make things a little more realistic . Bike modifications include -sissy bar, replaced fuel tank and custom 2-tone paint, repositioned handle bars to replicate “pullback” bars, wide white wall’s and spoked wheels, bicycle peddle style kick start, extended forks, breather cover, horn, and seat all to help replicate a ‘50’s chopper .. thanks for looking ! Sure looks great... and scratch building the motorcycle is creative! love that work

It triggered a lot of childhood memories of the Roth era !
