#164 XS750Custom Report

This chopper was created based on the Yamaha XS750, which was Yamaha’s first 3-cylinder and first shaft drive, released in the late 1970s as a competitor to the Honda CB and Kawasaki Z.

The owner of the 2%ER shop acquired a base that was in a dilapidated and immobile state, repaired and maintained various parts, and worked on it while enjoying the B-class chopper manners of the time.

Focusing on areas such as the front fork and gas tank that were too worn out to be used, we extended the front fork with original parts while keeping the normal frame, and created a high-speed tourer that can easily go on long tours with sissy bars and high back seats.

The gas tank and rear fender, which were newly created for the vehicle that was not in a clean state, were aged and painted to match the overall atmosphere.

Since it was my own vehicle, I borrowed a paint booth from ” BACON ” and painted it myself while learning from the master.

(This is the base vehicle)

〇 High-quality stainless steel fork joint.

“SR400/500 15cm long inner tube kit“

〇 A fork tube kit that allows you to extend the front more safely.

“2%er Tweak Bar (front stabilizer) [SR 400/500]“

〇 A stabilizer that is extremely effective in correcting the handling that tends to lag one beat behind with the extended fork.

“Fork boots, general-purpose“

〇 Classical universal fork boots.

“Welding Side Stand Extension Plate”

〇 A plate for extending the side stand that leans too much when the fork is extended. Welding is required.

〇You can change to a classical style by sticking it on the normal drum brake.

【Front Tire】

“SHINKO flute 3.00-18”

〇A street tire with a vertical groove design. It helps to lighten the handling that tends to become heavy when long forks are used. It is a small diameter size with a roundness of 3.00.

【Headlight】

“Sportster Type Headlight”

〇A headlight with a visor and a bright H4 bulb. It’s a convenient headlight that can store a lot of wiring in the body.

【Handle/Handle Area】

“One-off Z-Bar”

◯The handle is a one-off Z-bar using a tapered pipe for the rise. It was created as a replica of vintage chopper parts.

“Amal type throttle holder, general purpose (for 7/8″)“

◯The controls are the standard clean treatment of 2%ER.

“Handle Lock Weld On Kit“

〇It is bolted on and installed at the bottom of the stem, which is inconspicuous and easy to operate.

〇A classic among classics. A chopper-style turn signal.

“Weld tab S size 4.5mm thick steel 2p“

〇Welded to the frame. Used as a base for the turn signal.

【Speedometer】

◯It’s a clamp to attach a 48mm meter to the front fork.

【Mirror】

“B-Class Cross Mirror“

◯ A black version of the cross mirror that suits B-class custom well.

CenterTank, oil tank, seat, step, muffler etc.

• The frame is customized around the center/body without much alteration. A typical Sportster tank has been modified and installed.

【Muffler】

◯I wanted to emphasize the triple-cylinder engine, so I created a one-off drag pipe with three in a row. I added a little movement to the end part as an accent.

【Seat】

◯The seat is a vintage high-back for a swing arm frame. After riding for a while, the hardened surface of the original item tore, so I re-covered it with a new surface before handing it over to the new owner.

【Carburetor】

◯The intake has been converted to a power filter by removing the air cleaner box. A support has been made for the carburetor, which is suspended only by the manifold rubber, to make it possible to ride for a long time.
