Yoshimura parts that were once readily available are now discontinued and out of stock these days.
How is everyone doing?
I’m immersed in Yahoo Auctions… prices are skyrocketing～(；∀；)
I’m updating the Custom Parts Memo Department.
The left and right sides have this kind of configuration.
“Cut the tandem step midway” and clamp it to the frame for installation.
It’s a “semi-bolt-on” type setup, so installation might be a bit tricky.
A department of ideas.
Clamping to the frame…
I thought at the time, is this really okay?
Innovative～
Tandem riding is possible, but think of it as just “a place to rest your feet.”
The Yoshimura steps from this era with their “solid and robust” design are simple and cool.
Yoshimura steps have quite a “linear design.”
I prefer straight lines to curves (*´ω｀*)
Straight lines don’t exist in nature, so humans are drawn to them—there are various theories about this.
This fine knurling is extremely high quality.
Yoshimura step bars were expensive even back then.
The fact that the pedal arm is bolt-fixed and uses bushings instead of bearings gives a slightly subtle impression.
Even older steps than this probably had rougher knurling.
Even though this step is old, it’s relatively new.
Even older step kits still have “scribe marks on the back of the plate” and “pedal arms are welded” for positioning, with a handmade feel that’s “really nice～”
