Universal Styling… Updating the Classic SR Tracker with a Modern Twist: SR400 Custom

CANDY Motorcycle Laboratory's SR400

Candy Motorcycle Laboratory, known for producing highly refined custom motorcycles across various genres such as choppers, café racers, and high-performance machines, has created a truly authentic and impressive tracker custom. Let's introduce this dazzling masterpiece. The base bike used for this build is the SR400, but with the addition of components like a SOHC custom piston and a stock SR500 crank, the displacement has been increased to 595cc. A one-off exhaust system and CR carburetors are utilized to maximize its performance. Furthermore, Brembo calipers and Braking Wave discs prominently showcase that this machine is not just about appearance. The engine and braking system, exhibiting the expertise of Candy Motorcycle Laboratory in performance tuning, are brimming with their characteristic touch.

Of course, the biggest highlight of this machine lies in its stunning appearance. The fuel tank is a Yamaha RD50 OEM , while the seat cowl is one-off. The combination of the compact seat cowl and the long swingarm enhances the rear view, which is truly captivating. The paint job combines silver flakes and candy blue, with the addition of strobe lines, perfectly blending the classic racer style with a luxurious custom image. Earlier, we focused on the performance aspects of the engine and intake/exhaust, but the apperance are equally impactful. For instance, the cylinder features a discontinued Daytona big bore cylinder, and polished CR carburetors are adding a significant presence to the engine area. While it maintains the classic tracker style of yesteryear, this bike showcases Candy Motorcycle Laboratory's unique sense of style and skills in every detail. It can be said that this exceptional machine has been given a modern update, making it truly outstanding.

Motogadget blinkers have been installed on the bar ends. Despite their compact size, they offer sufficient light intensity. They also accentuate the simple handlebar area.

The OEM fuel tank from the RD50, beautifully finished in candy blue with strobe lines, achieves a perfect balance between a racing-inspired austerity and the vibrant appeal of a custom machine. It serves as a remarkable highlight of the bike.

The seat cowl is a one-off crafted by Candy Motorcycle Laboratory. Paired with the strobe lines, it creates a sporty atmosphere and serves as a standout feature.

A battery box is installed under the seat. This one-off battery box contributes to achieving a clean and simplified look around the handle area by relocating the key cylinder and switches. It also adds to the overall "Ska-tunning" style, ensuring a clean and uncluttered appearance under the seat as well.

Engine

The bike has undergone a full tuning, increasing its displacement to 595cc. It has also been equipped with a big bore cylinder, which has greatly transformed the appearance of the SR400.

Chassis

The bike utilizes the old SR400 stock cast wheels. The front wheel, which is 19 inches in size, accentuates the tracker-style even further.

The long swingarm is WM Production Team, and the rear shocks are WP Suspension's Product. These choices significantly enhance the overall performance and quality of riding.
