SUNSHINE STATE OF MIND / 005

1978 Yamaha SR500

When one of Federal's own made the move South to Florida, the opportunity arose to build a custom beach tracker – which obviously got us very excited. Being in the South-Eastern US, this seemed like the perfect first build for Mike & Peter Muller as they kicked off Federal Moto's Chicago shop. We really wanted to create something small, simple and fun with this bike. With a fresh, light color palette, minimalist parts choices, and some wild tires, this thing is the perfect combination of downtown daily rider and weekend beach cruiser. A sunshine state of mind.
