Japanese Custom Culture

Webike's Opinion

Here is a "YAMAHA SR500" custom by Webike community user "Yasiro". Yamaha's famous SR series no longer need any explanation.Although it is a fully customized bike, all the parts are bolt-on parts, so it can be returned to stock at any time. Many aftermarket parts are also available. The stock rear suspension is replaced with Ohlins Legend Twin, which gives a very smooth ride even on the usual road surface conditions. The original FRP X-SR fuel tank from Garage Thruxton makes the bike look slimmer and also helps reduce weight. The owner bought a used one and painted it by himself, and he changed the front fender to the same color. The color is Meteor Flake Black Pearl, the same color used on the GT-R. In addition, HURRICANE's Tracker LOW Handlebar, ACTIVE's Universal Throttle, and POSH's Faith NASA Type Bar Ends are installed. The SR500's vibration is so surpressed after the heavyweight nuts are installed. In addition to a Craftsman rearset and a charcoal black ultra-thin Type Tracker seat completes the well-balanced riding position. The exhaust is a carbon-covered version of the Yoshimura Titanium Machine Curved Cyclone. It is a 30-year-old bike, but it has a wonderful in terms of its unique beat of the engine that will shake the back teeth and a sense of danger not found in today's bikes.
