Produced by Danish specials builder Wrenchmonkees in association with Yamaha’s European division, the Yard Built SR400 ‘GibbonSlap’ special not only celebrates the 35th anniversary of this particular model, its unveiling coincides with the relaunched SR400 production model at the EICMA Show in Milan.
Designed primarily for urban riding, the customised bike incorporates a stripped back and minimal design ethos. Wrenchmonkees have taken the SR400 and with the collaboration of German specialized parts company KEDO kitted it with chunky scrambler-style tyres, a titanium megaphone exhaust and stubby polished aluminium mudguards.
Turning their attention to the bike’s practicality, Wrenchmonkees and KEDO converted it to a single seat and used the extra space to fit a bespoke luggage rack that carries hand-built soft panniers mounted in an offset design.
In keeping with the simple design ethos, Wrenchmonkees have given the SR400 a subtle matt black overall look with the forks, frame, tank and even top yoke shying away from a more traditional chrome finish.
This philosophy also extends to the new shock absorbers, which run black springs, and even the engine cases with their matt black finish. In contrast, the chrome bars, polish aluminium mudguards, titanium exhaust system and bare metal cylinder and head add a splash of colour to help define the machine’s aesthetic.
Finally, to give the bike a genuine Wrenchmonkees stamp of approval, this SR400 project needed a name. In keeping with their tradition for the unusual, and following on the theme set by their Yard Built XJR1300 MonkeeFist, the bike is entitled the GibbonSlap SR400 – a name derived from a knotted rope that ancient sailors used to use to defend themselves when onshore.
And, as a result of the hook up with KEDO, from spring 2014 onwards there will be special parts for sale to SR400 owners, enabling them to create their own Yard Built motorcycle.

I wish to show some appreciation to the writer just for rescuing me from this type of predicament. Right after scouting throughout the the net and seeing views that were not productive, I thought my life was well over. Living without the presence of solutions to the issues you’ve solved as a result of your good guideline is a crucial case, as well as ones which may have in a negative way damaged my career if I hadn’t encountered your web blog.

It’s possible to at this time relish my future. Thanks a lot so much for your professional and result oriented guide. I won’t think twice to endorse your web page to anybody who would like tips about this issue.
Awesome blog! Is your theme custom made or did you download it from somewhere? A theme like yours with a few simple adjustements would really make my blog jump out. Please let me know where you got your design. Thanks

I’m not sure why but this website is loading incredibly slow for me.
Is anyone else having this issue or is it a issue on my end?
I’ll check back later and see if the problem still exists.
