#143 SR400Custom Report

About 10 years ago, we created a compact bobber style that utilized the rear shock, under a different store name, based on the SR400.

We added a sissy bar to comply with the number plate law revision.

With the addition of a sissy bar that can carry luggage to a small and easy-to-handle style, this chopper can handle not only city riding and highways, but also long touring.

The engine of the lightweight body is quite fast with a 500 crank built in and an FCR carburetor.

This is a custom SR that was assembled with ingenuity in an era when there were not as many bolt-on parts as there are now.

Custom List

FrontHandlebars, F forks, headlights, etc.

【Front Fork】

◯In order to create a sense of density, the front fork has been lowered by 5cm.


【Front Wheel】

◯The wheel is a combination of an old 19-inch disc, deadstock tires from Million, and a Grimeca caliper and master.


【Front Fender】

◯The front fender is a resized version of the original.

We currently have this fender↓

“2%er Short Front Fender STD [SR400/500]“


【Headlight/Handle】

◯The face area is designed with a Harley TIN cover, which has been narrowed to match the size of the SR, and a square light attached vertically.

◯The handle was custom-made with a layout similar to Old Flanders.

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

The controls such as throttle and switches are miniaturized for a clean and simple look.


“Handle Lock Weld On Kit“


“MOTOR ROCK Decompression lever“

A decompression lever directly attached to the engine to simplify the handle area. (The one on the vehicle is an old model)


【Speedometer】

“Mechanical Speedometer 60mm Black Panel 1:4“

“Universal Speedometer Stay“

〇Mounted on the left front side of the gasoline tank, where it is inconspicuous and highly visible.


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

• The gas tank is a cherished deadstock Wassell Peanut. I asked “POTSDESIGN ” for the speedy and classical lettering. Within this style, I have produced many compact bobbers with this specification, using a method that combines the comfort of the rear shock, lowering, and improved styling.


【Step】

◯The steps of the drilled design, and things like the kick pedal and seat, are all one-off productions.


【Carburetor】

“FCR carburetor 39φ SR400/500 single unit“

〇The slow SR’s performance will drastically change. It’s a high-performance carburetor that offers sharp and smooth acceleration and good startability.

“Manifold Kit for FCR39φ”

〇It’s a dedicated adapter to firmly fix the FCR carburetor to the SR400/500.

“Net funnel set for FCR carburetor“

〇It’s a set of a stainless steel debris net and an aluminum funnel, which is a change from the red plastic funnel.


【Electrical Equipment】

『Battery Lesser』

〇This is a battery-less kit made entirely in Japan.

『IC blinker relay wide range specification』

〇A wide-range turn signal relay that can handle 1-150 watts without any problem, even with LED turn signals. It can also be used as a replacement for the original relay.


【Engine Area】

“Breather filter SR400/500“

〇This is a filter kit needed when removing the original air cleaner.


【Drive System】

“Front sprocket SR400/500 428-19“

〇A durable replacement sprocket made of steel.


  • RearFenders, rear shocks, swingarms, etc.

    【Rear Wheel】

    ◯ The rear wheel is a 16-inch conversion using the XS650 rim.

    We currently have this kit available↓

    『16″ Kit Steel Spoke SR400/500 Rear』

    〇 It’s a kit that gives a powerful look, the same size as a typical Harley.


    【Rear Shock】

    ◯ The rear shock is a modified and reused one for Daytona’s Magna 250.

    We currently have this rear shock↓

    “280mm G-Suspension/Chrome”

    〇A rear shock that is about 4cm down. It moves well among the low-down suspensions. (Removal of the original chain case is necessary)


    【Rear Fender】

    ◯The rear fender is also repurposed from the original XS650, but has been narrowed down.


    【Sissy Bar】

    ◯The Sissy Bar is extremely convenient for loading luggage. It’s challenging to ensure design and durability when adding to the compact chopper style with a short rear fender, but we’ve strived to make it user-friendly and well-balanced.


    【Tail Lamp】

    ◯The tail is round Ford.


    【Drive System】

    “Rear sprocket SR400/500 428-56“

    〇A durable sprocket made of steel.
