#277 SR400 THEHIDEAWAYCustom Report

This is a custom order from Mr. Morishita, the owner of “THE HIDEAWAY inc”, who is also a representative of 2%ER. It’s a typical order from him, leaving everything from budget to delivery date and style up to us. We built it in a style that contrasts with his other vintage Harley chopper. The owner himself and his HOTROD fit perfectly into the surrounding environment, and we enjoyed creating a cafe style atmosphere.

We based this on an early model SR400 and focused on ease of riding in the tiring cafe style. We deliberately used a normal processed gas tank without a long tank, narrowed the handle width to 56cm, and installed a BSA type seat under the round frame at a seat height that is about 1.5 pipes lower than the original frame. This makes the forward-leaning posture with the separate handle as gentle as possible, and the position is similar to a flat handle by increasing the drop between the handle and the seat. This processing greatly reduces fatigue from the shoulders to the arms and wrists.

Also, by being able to entrust the weight of the upper body to the seat cowl, the entire upper body is significantly less tired, and the design allows for a more comfortable ride by distributing the weight with the original forward step. This is a big departure from the standard theory of cafe racers, but we have achieved a balance between position and styling for long and enjoyable bike riding. The carburetor has been replaced with an FCR, making it a specification that allows you to enjoy both riding and running in a comfortable position.

The style is a gasoline tank processed in the style of A, J, S, and is installed about 15mm lower by processing the bottom plate to match the lower seat frame. A center ribbed seat cowl that supports the weight is installed. It’s a classic British style with a touch of American flavor, such as front and rear H-type aluminum rims and new left-side up mufflers. The seat cover is something that the staff of “THE HIDEAWAY” put on thinking of President Morishita. We were given full discretion, but we made it in a relaxed manner so that you can ride roughly without spending too much budget.

Although it looks worn out, all the engines and the surroundings of the vehicle have been maintained, adjusted/overhauled. The worn-out atmosphere of the entire vehicle, the gas tank, and the paint of the seat cowl are by “BACON”, who is a partner of 2%ER and a friend of Mr. Morishita. It’s a paint job for Mr. Morishita, with a touch of elegance and mystery in the rough, worn-out atmosphere.
