#149 SR500Custom Report

This is a custom SR500, created in the full-course old school chopper style of 2%ER, featuring Rigid, Jockey, Springer, and others.

We used the Rigid Line Bolt-On Hardtail Kit SR400/500 to transform the skeleton into a triangular rigid frame, a 10-inch over springer fork modified for Harley at the front, and a Mid-High Jockey Shift Kit Chrome for SR400/500 that we were particular about the touch and shift stroke.

The style is modeled after the old school chopper, with a silhouette of an isosceles triangle, and we made sure not to make the lines too thin overall, such as the deliberate wide springer, and created it as a standard chopper without overdoing each part.

The paint and aging process was handled by Yamaguchi, the representative of 2%ER, at the request of the owner, and was finished with the help of the “BACON” factory.

Custom List

FrontHandlebars, F forks, headlights, etc.

【Front Fork】

〇The front uses a modified Harley Springer. By floating the front brake panel, we have prevented the brake from flipping up during braking and transformed it into a sinking brake.

【Front Wheel】

“2%er Front Wheel Aluminum Hub Cap [SR400/500]“

〇You can change to a classical style by sticking it on a 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 the fork is lengthened. It is a small diameter size with a roundness of 3.00.

【Headlight】

“5.75 inch Bates Light Chrome General Purpose“

〇A headlight that fits well with the SR’s vehicle size and fork width, and can be installed without any discomfort. Mounted on a one-off light stay.

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

• The gas tank is a coffin tank, newly made from a single sheet of iron, modeled after vintage ones with thinning iron and unremovable rust, to prevent troubles. It is of a size suitable for SR. Although the SR400/500 has significant minor vibrations, it is mounted with a three-point rubber mount to prevent cracking.

【Muffler】

“Exhaust Pipe Flange Set for One-off Pipe Production”

〇We used a handy production kit for the root mouthpiece and made a one-off full exhaust muffler. As the order was to “make it in a shape that has never been seen before”, we made a square muffler formed from sheet metal.

【Step/Shift】

『Mid-High Jockey Shift Kit Chrome for SR400/500』

〇Maintaining the comfortable riding posture of the mid-high step, this is a jockey shift kit that focuses on the touch and stroke operation feeling.

    【Rear Fender/Sissy Bar】
