#59 SR400Custom Report

Long touring, city riding, night running… SR, loved by the 2%ER owner who loves to ride SR.

Having worked for a long-established SR shop for many years, I have produced custom designs of the times in order, such as cafe racers, dirt trackers, chop cafes, hot rods, choppers, bobbers, and streets,

I created it with the theme of a style that has never been before, an SR that can be ridden easily in a position that does not tire.

With the B-class chopper that the hippies and outlaws of the 70s were riding as a model, I took advantage of the unique size of the SR, did not take too much balance, and built it roughly and coolly.

It was also used as a test ride vehicle for customers who visited the store, and I received orders as it was due to its ease of riding beyond imagination, and produced a custom car, which produced a large number of derivative models.

I also tested the durability of many “original parts” with this vehicle, and rode a lot because it was really easy to ride for 40,000 kilometers in 3 years.
