B-Class-Chopper Bobber SR SR400/500 Hardtail

#262 SR400Custom Report

When I was living in my hometown of Kyoto, I was the youngest regular at 19 years old at 2%ER, and now I am working as an actor in Tokyo. This was an order from the owner.

It was a full custom of a vehicle that had been left unattended for a while, and I was allowed to produce it in a style that made the №103 SR400, which I admired at the time, more stylish while regenerating and maintaining each part and overhauling it. I was allowed to finish it simply with a 13cm long hard tail, a peanut tank that was adjusted in size, a mini drum brake wheel, a simple drag pipe, and a sissy bar that doesn’t assert too much.
