#186 SR400Custom Report
This cafe racer custom was created based on the SR400, a 2007 model brought in from Shizuoka Prefecture.
The entire piece was created using a large number of regular parts, one-off productions, and processed items at key points.
Instead of the orthodox 60’s British cafe style, it was transformed into an American 80’s style with modifications such as the bottom plate of the normal tank, seat rail processing, and a 7cm extension of the swing arm, resulting in a low, long, horizontal base and a linear line form.
It is finished with a lot of chrome and polish, reminiscent of a drag racer speeding down the highway.
It was created in a smart and racy atmosphere as a style that connects to ” Gallery No.12 SR400 “.
