Stock Taste, Drag-Style: Yamaha SR400 Custom by Motocycle's BARN

Motocycle's BARN's SR400

Motorcycles' Barn has a well-established reputation for creating compact chopper style customs based on the SR and TR models. Their specialty lies in customizations that preserve the authentic stock look while infusing a drag-style taste. The focal point of their styling is the fuel tank, where they retain the original design. They also modify and utilize the stock seat and keep the side covers unchanged, allowing the distinctive SR character to shine through. However, when you examine the silhouette, it becomes clear that this bike is unlike anything from stock. The front fork is lowered by 6cm, the swingarm extended by 4cm, and the rear shocks replaced with a shorter setup to achieve a lower ride height. The combination of F21-R16 inch wheels and the sculpted original "Dandy Bars" contribute to an innovative silhouette that combines elements of choppers and drag-style bikes. This masterful transformation caters to the desires of users who seek to retain the essence of the stock styling while indulging in the pleasures of customization. Motorcycle's Barn has successfully achieved this perfect harmony between the inherent appeal of the stock design and the allure of customization, making it a groundbreaking SR custom bike in its own right.

Handle

The handlebars are Motorcycle's Barn original "Dandy Bar". The rugged and detailed design makes it a perfect match for the drag style.

Bodyworks

The seat is based on the stock one, and the lowering part is reshaped. By reupholstering the upholstery, the stock seat's appearance was significantly changed while still retaining its original feel.

The center license plate bracket is an original design by the shop. Its discreet design, along with the rear fender eliminator, enhances the bike's rear view with a powerful look.

Engine

The engine's presence is greatly enhanced by the prominent big-fin processing, giving it a muscular image typical of the drag style.

Intake & Exhaust

The exhaust pipe is a custom-made one-off, and the silencer is a GP type silencer. The turn-out exhaust end adds a sporty and race-like touch to the overall look.

Chassis

The front wheels are 21 inch and painted black, giving a sleek and compact appearance. The wave rotors further add to the visual appeal of the front end.
