#279 SR400 Triple2reeCustom Report

■Make your Chopper easier to ride!!

This is a vehicle equipped with “2° Rake Triple Tree“

This is a triple tree kit designed to tilt the front fork by 2° to correct the handling, which tends to become heavy when the fork is lengthened, to make it light and easy.

By tilting the front fork and correcting the trail value, which greatly affects the handling of the motorcycle, you can prevent wobbling at low speeds, ensure straight-line stability at high speeds, and change to stable, light handling.

(●The handling becomes heavier as the trail value increases, and lighter as it decreases.)

By tilting the angle of the fork, you can change to a more chopper-like silhouette, and the lowering of the center of gravity makes the pushing and pulling of the vehicle considerably lighter, so it is also recommended for female riders without much arm strength.

This is Ryuuji’s SR400, who is working hard as a part-time student staff. He always comes to the shop with a lot of friends and juniors, and seeing his sincere personality, his love for bikes, his enjoyment, and his high level of action, I wanted to work with him as a future staff member, so I scouted him.

Initially, he was riding an ST250, and after a certain level of customization was completed, he switched to a 2%ER stock used SR400. At the time of purchase, it was already somewhat customized, but he enjoys his SR chopper by customizing it more to his liking with other young staff after work hours, going on tours to Hokkaido with other friends, and so on.

His long-term goal is to return to his hometown of Saga in the distant future and be involved with motorcycles while serving as a monk at his family’s temple. His attitude towards work is serious and he has a strong desire to improve, making him one of the staff members we are looking forward to in the future.

With his personality, he is loved by the older people around the 2%ER representative, and the paint on his helmet is a gift from “BACON“, and the paint on his gas tank is from “JERKGARAGE“.

Ryuuji, who has learned a certain amount of work such as vehicle inspection maintenance, used car maintenance, and repairs, his first request was “I have a dear friend who wants to ride an SR. Please prepare a base vehicle so that he can ride as cheaply and quickly as possible. I will work for free after work hours, so please let me use the factory and tools for that. I would like you to discount the amount of the labor cost I worked on.” This is a typical Ryuuji-like request, thinking of his friends. He works at times other than his part-time job, at timings that do not interfere with the work of other staff, and works overnight after work hours. Now, Ryuuji is enjoying his bike life, running with his childhood friend who also rides the SR400 that Ryuuji assembled himself, and he has also experienced accidents.

There are many custom menus coming up in the future, but since it has taken a certain shape, such as the installation of the new 2° rake triple tree, I would like to introduce it in this custom gallery.
