#292 SR500Custom Report

This was created in a style from the late 80s to mid 90s, which is both nostalgic and fresh, without overlapping with others, based on an order from Gifu Prefecture and a meeting with the owner.

Based on the overhauled 500 engine, we transformed it into a rigid frame with a 13cm long hardtail kit, and balancedly arranged 12-inch over springer forks, a Mustang tank, a one-off rear fender in Frisco style, and finished the overall silhouette in a style reminiscent of the time.

Even with this style, of course, the ease of riding and handling is always made in the manner of 2%ER. With a spacious one-off Z-bar, mid-high position steps, and a spring-mounted cobra seat, we have created it in a comfortable position with good cushioning, even though it is a rigid frame without rear shocks.

In addition, the original front drum brake is processed to float, and is designed to smoothly sink the fork when braking. We have created it at a high level in terms of ride comfort and running.

The paint was requested from “P.H.K“ in Kyoto.
