Japanese Custom Culture
MOTOSALON's GSX-R600
While the pursuit of performance is undoubtedly an important theme for customization, it is the appearance that should be pursued as well. Many riders would customize their bikes to get best performance, but they would also take care of their bike outlooks. Moto Salon remade this GSX-R600 using some european-made parts . During their work, they considered how to could simplify the colorings, and decided to unify the bike color in black.
They didn't like to lose the presence of each part. For this reason, blue was chosen for many of the parts used in this bike. The blue on this bike is not too bright and helps the tone and presence of each part retain. Blue anodized footpegs, handlebar ends, axle sliders and frame sliders are made by Valter Moto Components. Not only large parts but also some detailed parts such as bolts and radiator hoses are in blue, and they work effectively and look good around the engine. This custom scheme did not bring a great change in performance, but its appearance has a strong presence at low cost.
Handle
Customization of the control system, which allows for more precise control, is a standard menu item. Its handlebar area consists of parts made by Valtar Moto Components. For the colorings, blue is used so much.
Bodyworks
The carbon tank cover is used for a more luxurious look. The tank cap is also made by Valter Moto Components and is black in color.
Intake & Exhaust
The Slip-on exhaust made by BODIS of Germany are fitted with Valter Moto Components exhaust hangers. The air cleaner has been replaced to a Sprint's product.
Chassis
The engine secondary cover, which protects the engine in the event of a fall, is made by GB Racing, which boasts an overwhelming market share in the racing world and is officially recognized by the FIM. The high-strength resin blended with glass fiber is about 10 times stronger than ABS resin. The high precision of the product allows for easy bolt-on installation over the stock cover.
All the bolts on the engine covers have been replaced to parts of blue anodized aluminum (Valter Moto Components), which together with the blue radiator hoses creates a unique atmosphere.
The rearsets are Valter Moto Components Type 2.5. This type comes with a 9-position and a 6-position bracket and can be raised and lowered up to 35mm from stock.
The front rotor has been replaced with WRP wave disc. Axle sliders, fender fixing bolts, and Motacc brake lines are all in blue.
