#156 SR500Custom Report
We have recreated the old-fashioned chopper style with rear shocks without lowering it on the SR500.
Keeping the dimensions of the foot area and others as they are, we created a style that is a mixture of scramblers and choppers that were running on unpaved roads at that time, with a vintage tank and a one-off TT type seat.
With neutral handling and cushioning, and a comfortable ride, it’s an easy style that you can enjoy without any pressure, from waiting to ride to highways and long touring.
At the owner’s request, I was in charge of the aging paint of the gas tank and other parts, including the color and pattern, and I learned from ” BACON “.
This is a custom that has made some changes to make ” Custom Gallery No. 129 ” more chopper-like. Changes in the handle, muffler, under the seat, and paint have greatly changed the atmosphere.
