Thread: My SR-400

So the panel under the seat on both sides are fibreglass & the indercator can will have a problem with mud & water

Forward of the numberplate will be a 1.5mm stainless shield to protect the wiring.

What overall look are you aiming for with the bike? Cafe racer, tracker, streetfighter or are you just making the changes you like?

Illuminated



And the 2 dorra mounts, couple of pipe clamps I found at work and some PVC tubing from my fishpond as a sleeve to suit the clamps



Seat has been cut down and is at the trimmers, brackets for my LED projector indicators/tailights/brakes should be done on the laser at work tomorrow. then cut the frame down to suit the new seat.

Looking at this picture the 1/4 panels are made of fibreglass & the indercator CAN
is in for a ruff ride

Hybrid Bobber/Tracker/Fighter staying soft tail with a 3/4 seat, hate the cafe as I cannot do clip on's.

SR's have been done to death so am looking to make it different.

Not shown is the 1.5mm stainless steel plate that will run from top to bottom.

Indicator can will be gone as it will not run my LED indicators front and rear and I have no desire to wire in resistors to make it work.

Looking forward to seeing the finished product

Shaggerback the SRX6 with the Pro Am has given me a idea ( now i'm in the hunt for the arm of the 150 as the bike was made in Thailand)

Nu it the early one double shock SRX600 1985 OK Shaggie

Last I heard yours had more rattles in it than a pre school.

Shaggerback found the rattle today it a under size piston ( so it put that one in the bin.
Fondles any upday on what your doing, one thing with the SR & SXR there is a lot of part inter change able.

Could you interchange a proper braking system to the front end ?

Just fitting up the LED projector indicator/brake lights on the rear.

Cut 100mm from the seat today and had it re-trimmed so all things being equal I'll ride it to work tomorrow and cut the ends off the frame to suit the new seat length.

From there I will make a new rear fender (Fibreglass) and mount it off the swing arm bout 10mm off from the tyre.

Sat seat on and not happy with the bracket for the tailight so will make another tomorrow as well as the stainless steel plate to go between number plate/tyre to sheild the electrics.

Tail light is a bit bright so will ask the electric gurus at work to pull some power from it to dull it down, these are the same LED lights I will be using for the brake lights.




once all this is sorted and Iam happy it will be a full tear down to paint the tank/side covers, powdercoat the frame and have a new wiring loom made.

Engine will be going to OZ to have a 500 crank/rod/piston fitted along with some lumpy camshafts.

Love this supercharged SR !!



To answer Katana Iam looking at a set of USD forks with twin discs.

Sorry Fondles this don't turn me on, but if it make you happy.

After Shaggerback posted a picture of a SRX with a NSR Pro Am rear swing arm
it has started me thinking & I think that it would look good on your Sr400
There was one in Qld for sale for $150 bucks the swing arm with back rim & front
I think that would look cool

I already have the Bt.6000 alloy swingarm thats on the market. evil thoughts of a monoshock conversion though.

With the 2 rims front & back if so can I put my name down for a set.
I thought that your are a coded welder ( sorry you need a Engineer to show you where to put it )
Nu not that hard as the SR400 has plenty of room.

I think that that swing arm would meke the bike stand out.

I don't think that it would fit in with the overall look of the bike personally.

What ?

My swingarm is a fabricated alloy jobby that is available for anyone to purchase, same as the rims.

Given my employment and the resources I have readily available on hand I find your quip about about the "engineer" rather insulting.

Fondles how long did you live in Australia, as the way you respond is like you come from England no?
PS are you a engineer? or are you a welder & are you coded.


I don't know you ( so the engineer bit is put on the table )
You are not happy about this (why) ?



Which one are you.

Which one are you.

I lived in Australia for the first 34 yrs of my life, then I moved to Thailand.

I have Trades certs for Baker and Screenprinter (industrial not T-shirts).

I currently design and build bespoke Personal Armoured Vehicles which I have done so for the past 12 years, all my design and fabrication skills are self taught.

I have at my disposal 20 (Farang and Thai) engineers spanning multiple disciplines as well as a dedicated CAD dept.

being an engineer sucks cock due to the paperwork involved, my current title is Armour Engineer, although Iam not one and want to be rid of the Title ASAP (I have a strong dislike for paperwork).

I have direct access to our prototype workshop which is well equipped to make pretty much anything.

doorSo all you need to know how many layers of Kevlar you need to put inside the door's?
Or are you still working with steel

Depends on the threat level, I have used aramid fibre* for small calibre hand gun up to .44mag, anything over this I use a composite material for the doors due to weight issues and the hinges.




* Kevlar is the Dupont trademark name for their aramid fibre.

Mate I think you will get sick of that short guard real quick I know I did on my ridged chopper, covered in road filth as well as what ever shit that was flowing over the road and god help you if it rains.
What about a custom hugger that sat close to the tire that is attached to the swing arm ?

Rigger, short guard is only temporary.

I wanted drop to drop the original one down onto the tyre as you mentioned but it was not happening so I just cut it short for the time being, when I get a chance I will pull a mold off the tyre and make a fibreglass one that fits snuggly.

I like these as a base for mods
