Yesterday, the last Dunlop practice of the year was held at Tsukuba Circuit Gymkhana. I think all the participants had fun running on a warm day that was hard to believe for December. This time’s course was laid out with maximum safety in mind, and we aimed to create a course where you can run […]

I bought the CB125R, which I had always wanted, and finally started serious touring on the Chorotto Pass. The first CB125R I rode was a JC79 with an OHC engine, but my bike is a JC91 with a DOHC engine. It seems that everything other than the engine is basically the same.   Now, when […]

I’ve been interested in this machine ever since I made the bumper and took it for a test drive. I remember that I really liked it and it had a great balance. Maybe it’s good among friends! this machine. This is the machine that has always been said to be.   It is Honda CB125R […]

for new NIKEN This time, we created an SSB for the new NIKEN released in 2023. Although the creation of this NIKEN SSB looks easy, it turned out to be a very difficult frame due to its quirks. Considering the engine hanger bolt as a base, the front frame pipe is too inclined. I decided […]

At the practice session the other day, I got to test drive my friend’s VTR250, Spada 250, and others.   First of all, Spada 250 It was a little difficult to ride due to the lack of low speed power and high idling, so I asked them to lower the idling to normal. I had […]

There is one bike that I am very interested in right now. The car name is CB125R There is a CB250R that is often used at Gymkhana, but they are brother and sister cars that share the frame suspension etc. Since it’s 125cc, I know it’s not a machine that can run fast at Gymkhana. […]

I participated in the final round of the Dunlop Cup held on October 22nd. It was a sunny day and the temperature was high for this time of year.   The participating vehicle this time is KX112SM My understanding of the machine has progressed, and so has the setup. However, in the official Kanto race […]

We received an order from Honda Traffic Education Center Rainbow “commonly known as HMS” for bumpers for newly introduced vehicles. This time’s vehicle is GB350 Rebel 250 CB250R.   Rainbow requested that the upper part be stretched a little to further protect the area around the meter. I made a new bent pipe for the […]

We had a weekday practice yesterday, so as per the previous article We tested the tires of Dunlop TT93GP “as used in JAPAN” and CST’s SM-SRR “used twice in competitions and twice in practice sessions”.   First of all, since I was still at JAPAN, I rode the TT93SP all morning. I don’t slip so […]

How many years has it been already? Dunlop Cup Japan was held at Tomin Motorland in Ibaraki. I participate in all JAPAN, but in recent years I no longer participate as a representative. I’m feeling relaxed, but a little lonely these days. (lol) I guess I’ll do my best to aim for the national team […]

I have been asked several times by Honda to produce bumpers for the Traffic Education Center Rainbow. This time, we will be working on bumpers for even more car models. Therefore, we created a new type of bumper to meet Rainbow’s requests. It is about 100mm larger on the upper side than the normal SSB […]

The Dunlop Cup JAPAN tournament will be held this weekend. It’s a normal gymkhana tournament, but it’s a lot of fun as representatives from all over the world gather and there are regional competitions as well. From Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south, “This year is the first time Okinawa will participate.” […]

SSB Crash Bars for Honda GB350 This time I made an SSB for GB350. I tried my best to create a bumper that suits the classically shaped GB. This time I also made a muffler guard and rear slider. We have also made a jig for the muffler guard, so it can be manufactured.   […]

This is a very unfortunate message.   I received information that I was scammed by purchasing an SSB product. After purchasing, it seems that they ask to transfer the money to your Yuucho account and purchase it.   The purchase of new products from our company is only sold under the following conditions. Other purchases […]

After riding the KX112SM, I realized that its lightness and good suspension tracking are great weapons. However, the biggest weakness is acceleration from extremely low speeds. . I think it all boils down to that. Lack of acceleration, especially after continuous slow opening and closing. . If this part can be improved, it will be […]

This time, we created an SSB for Suzuki’s new vehicle GSX8S.   I think we have created a simple, cool, and strong SSB. I also made a rear slider. What do you think? https://ssbfactory.seesaa.net/article/500668093.html

A gear change that is normally used by people who go touring and those who run on the circuit. However, in gymkhana, there are many people who dislike gear changes. If possible, I don’t want to change gears, it’s faster. . .   It’s true that it’s difficult to choose the right gear for gymkhana […]

I went to the JAGE Cup Round 3 held on September 3rd. The weather is sunny! The temperature is close to 35 degrees, so it’s the last competition of the year in the heat wave.   Since the KX112 has been equipped with CST’s CM-SRR for a long time, it is necessary to change the […]

Recently, I’ve been riding only the KX112SM, and I haven’t ridden the ZRX1200 for half a year. By saying that it will be ZRX1200 with Crash guards installed to participate in “Let’s run with KING Sakuta-san DAY” held at Tsukinowa Driving School on the 22nd. I participated in Satkana training with ZRX1200 as a practice. […]

Finally approaching next week, “Let’s run with KING Sakuta-san DAY” It will be held at Tsukinowa Driving School in Shiga Prefecture.   I would be happy if you could run with me and absorb something even a little. I decided to bring my symbolic ZRX1200R.   With that said, SSB Factory will be closed from […]
