Thread: My SR-400

What's up with the number plate? It looks home made.

Nice bike though, I'd be tempted to put a more retro style tire on it, that sporty one doesn't match. Something like -

Sorry Fondles you ask for this one ( now how moving the number plate going to make the SR4 handle any better)

If you think moving the plate is about handling then you really have missed the point.

So you took the mud gaud off so you had to put the number plate some where.
So you will be riding along & a Garbo truck pulls out in front of you all of that smelly water spreds across the road.
You can not get away from it & straight through it with a nice bit of spray up along your back.

I hat it as they run past my factory & I jump on the bike & as soon as I get onto the road there a bad odor, I look up the road 1-2 kilo & there it is.spewing all of that smelly water.

You do realise the seat ( in my configuration) offers the same "protection" as the fender will yeah .

Besides which I do not chase garbage trucks, if that is your kink good for you but yeah......not for me


(apologies to egg sandwich for the excessive use of periods, please eggy do not come into this thread and accuse me of sleeping with consensual ladies that are aged 16 yrs and up.).

You know when riding there is a vacuum behind your body & this sucks all the shit onto you back.
As I have been riding to work every day for 2 year & my bike has a mud fender as you say 7 still end up with a trail up my back.

You have a nice bike I would be looking to get to sit more upright, this will put less pressure on the hands.
This is a problem I have with the SRX6 my right hand gets a lot of pain from the throtle it is very hard

you seem to to miss the ideology of being cool, I wanted something different and did not want to be the usual "harley asshole with a loud pipe".

It is my bike and I'll do what I want to it but the gist of it all is to get out there on a Sunday and have some fum whilst not blending into the masses > usual harley asshole with a loud pipe<.

You also miss the ideology of being individual.

I thought everyone knew I lived in soi Khao Noi on the darkside of Pattaya.

Would you like the GPS co-ordinates to my actual house ?

or are you just being an asshole cause you can.

PM me for those coordinates if you feel you are more than the man you are and want to meet face to face.

My house my terms, you will not like what you meet but up to you., got the balls do you ?

Is it an Aussie in-breeding thing to completely miss the point?

I see you like the dots... like 2 or 3 members eggie will be happy

Is that a pressure washer in the background? Straighten the hose on that thing and attach it properly- the bike looks nice but improper equipment storage in the same pic drops it a couple points.

One good thing is the oil filter is the same as SRX6.
So the SR4 is a wet sump & SRX6 is dry sump, but have the same oil filter.
By the way the pressure wash is to get the oil of the engine is this OK

Nice bike Fondles.

I was wondering about the front end after looking at your pics and cant see If the fork inner tubes have been replaced / upsized , or not.
Thais love to slip on sweet looking lowers with no change to the damping/springing effect at all , cept perhaps a change of fork oil.

I like the monoshock Srx 650 , can be had for the same money , but a rarer find.

When you get bored of it .... send me a PM .

I'm amazed you can survive in Thaialnd with an attitude like that .

Good luck with it all ,, you can only call bluff so many times

Your right with the rattles it will go in this week I hope.
The picture of the SRX6 is a mono shock my bike double shock.

numberplate done (scuse the dodgy wiring, it will be tidied once the rest of the lights are done).

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.
