My Sr400

[Spoonman]

As purchased.

First round of changes (Wheels/Tyres and a bit of colour on the side cases and front fork legs).

Chopped the rear fender and seat down

Tail light

New front bars (solid alloy).

Lowered the front fender

Work in progress, it will never be finished !!!

[SumetCycle]

Well done, it looks very nice.

Looking good, where did you get all the bits from? What do you plan for the number plate and indicators?

Thanks, Numberplate is up under the seat, have the same indicators for the back that are on the front.

For me chopping the fender and seat did nothing for the looks of the bike. Everything else works.

Did you put 3 mini LED lamps in the original H/L shell?

[Spoonman]

Headlight is aftermarket.

[BSJ]

Headlight is aftermarket.

So the chrome one was the original. OK thanks

Agreed. Mickey Cohen has the right idea.

Amazing SR spotted a central world

[Mickey Cohen]

I love those SRs. I would really like to get into motorcycling but Ninjas and CBRs do nothing for me. But when I see one of those SRs, I'm already planning all the road trips I could do...

I've only ridden 20.000km on an airblade, would this bike be suitable for a beginner rider?

I see that most of the bikes do have plates, what is the asking price for a recent SR with a good green book and all paperwork needed for avoiding problems with the police?

As long as you learn how to kickstart it (which isn't very difficult), the SR is very beginner friendly. It's simply tech and bombproof engine will give you many hours and km of fun.

As for the green book....now that's a different pair of shoes. Most SR in Thailand (I would say at least 90%) don't have green books and if they have them, they're more like 'greenish', if you know what I mean. It is quite possible though to find some with legal registration. Again, there are various degrees (or shades) of green books available. I believe there'e one with green book in the classifieds right now in Bangkok, with Velocette exhaust and tank.

Asking price for a recent SR (most are from the late 90's) with green book is around 90K up. Without book between 65 and 75K.

nice

[Spoonman]

Thanks !!

The bar end mirrors are a bit of a ball-ache as they make the bike very wide and not user friendly when trying to lane split so will prolly revert to under slung mirrors after the Burapha Bike Show.

great job Spoonman!

What rims are you using? They seem bigger than usual...

Cheers mate, Actual rim widths I'am not 100% sure but from memory (albeit 11ty billion beers ago) the front is 17 x 3.00 and rear is a 17 x 4.00, obviously black racing boy rims.

Tyres are 110 and 140 respectively.

Yamaha have released a 35th anniversary edition of the SR400. Japan only, unfortunately.

red baron could probably order you one

Saw what looked like a restored SR400 up Suhkumvit Rd just near Pattaya Klang this morning. Has a chromed "Tempter" badge on the tank. Didn't get time for a pix.

[loserlazer]

Cool! Good job man.

But is there any place left on the back for a lady?
