#120 SR400Custom Report

This is the SR400 KUSTOM I made for myself for the first time, projecting my feelings at the time around 2000, during my training days with the checkbox before becoming independent.

The overall silhouette is a cafe racer, but I incorporated elements of choppers and KUSTOM that I liked at the time, and created it in a mixture style that had never been seen before.

● Don’t imitate others

● Don’t become a bike you’ve seen somewhere

● Absolutely don’t overlap with others

● Pack in what you like and balance the whole

● Challenge yourself to new techniques for the first time

This is the SR400 that I assembled little by little during overtime and holidays with these themes in mind.

 

● A bike that is interesting even when looked at in detail

I also set this theme, and each mounting stay is made of stainless steel with a high design quality.

 

The twisted and pointed construction and selection of parts in each part are my feelings at the time. I packed a lot of things that others hadn’t done, such as coffin tanks, narrowing the width of seat rails, and square silencers.
