"naked banana specIII" - I like

**Lass** · 23-10-2005, 09:33 AM

no offense to other bol dor riders but am feel that my bike is beginning to look like just the bigger version of my kips less the side fairing and kick start.......

**Lass** · 23-10-2005, 09:36 AM

bol dor front

hmmm is that oso one of the reason why some ppl dun like the bol dor?

**blackiek7** · 23-10-2005, 11:59 AM

ic hmmm am a bit duh, u oso on bol dor?

nope... the same at Spec's...

but last nite saw one uncle on a bol dor... the headlights also very bright... cos we both stop side by side at traffic light and i can see both our headlights projected on the front car rear... almost the same as what i have before changing to the whitelight bulb...

the version that i was told is that the reflector inside is specially designed and the cover is made of 'crystal-like' material, unlike the older version of S4... so more lights can pass through...

believe it or not its your choice...

is hmmm perhaps am wrong, tot tat it's not tat bright cos i get blinded by the naked version's headlight but when my buddy's behind me, it's not so bad though ie when i looked into the mirror.

**bktan** · 25-10-2005, 10:45 AM

lass: i think ur bike looks nice la... really i wld prefer a windshield in front of me than to care too much about looks.

when travelling at past 100 km/h speeds the naked spec can really get into you, esp along ECP. so can imagine going jb.

i like the s4 cb1300 boldor version though, looks better with the fairing, cos spec3 with that big fairing may look a tiny bit small. but who will buy a 1300 s4 in singapore?? might as well go with a 600cc or 1000cc gao liao.

with or without windscreen, it juz needs a bit of getting used to.

u won't feel any significant difference travelling at 100km/h or 150km/h once u r used to it. its a little like a walk in the park

suggest you do a simple test, go to the void deck at nite time with a nake spec III (orignal lights) and both of you shine onto the wall and you will see the result for yourself...

anyway, like i mentioned before, if you really want your headlight to shine, change a bulb to higher power one... can get alot of bulbs at 3500k - 4000k. But the ultimate is the philips diamond vision at a whopping 5400k.

kenneth,

juz to clarify some misconceptions.
the numbers do NOT represent the power of the bulb. it represents the temperature of the light emitting from the bulb. k = kelvin.
white light gives the optical illusion that it is brighter due to how a human eye works.

power of light is measured by lumens, which is seldom represented/shown on the box, but often reflected in the price. that's y, some bulbs @ 4000k (eg. china made, LAB) can be cheaper than other bulbs @ 4000k (eg. philips, osram).

keke still miss ur tuono eh? haiz me too. my hubby spotted it on the rd w a male rider. well, i do like the windshield and makes it look a bit like a tourer. guess am used to having a fairing in front like the tuono n kip. 1300 in sg keke yeah a bit much and i think 400 is just nice, most of the time am doing abt 80 or 90 and no traffic up to a 100 no more than tat, too many speed cams and traps ard.

floppy thks for the encourgement. it's not a pc of cake for me yet cos it's heavy for me n always v slow in parking cos i always hv to tip toe. only thing is the mirror tat makes it difficult to squeeze.

kenneth & floppy thks for the light explaination as well.

no prob. u will slowly get used to the weight, give and take about 1~3months.
the mirrors if too bulky, u can try to get those phantom type from LAB. looks similarly but shorter that the handlebar ~$20 a pair.

**anodise57** · 26-10-2005, 11:15 AM

Floopy.... can Bol Dor can use those type of Mirror meh????

I like the way you put it...
"its a little like a walk in the park "
190 also like that only hor....... hahahhaa

bktan => who will buy CB1300 ah... maybe next outing .. i intro one fella riding a NEW CB1300 to you... SUPER CHIO 4 sia!!

mirror's on the fairing not on the handle bar so can't really fit anything else i think but it's the same handle bar as the naked version. someone suggest putting the regular s4 mirror on the handlebar. think it will look really odd like a TP bike.

keke someone ppl already started to call us the black TP lookalike

and i always say yeah lah special elite force. and when i go out w my buddy and another gal friend, we look like 2 escorts for tat 1 bike

oops paiseh. my mistake

u can go for those lacer-wannabe type of small mirrors, frequently seen on lacer-wannabe sp and kips (among other makes of sports bike). but chances r, u see nutz on those mirrors.

Is Bol D'or insurance the same as the naked spec3?

**contacted** · 27-10-2005, 05:39 PM

Sorry quick/newbie question: Am I able to get choose a default white colour Bol D'or?

Yes K= kelvin colour temp.
IF u r not using HID then those tinted one that change the colour of the yellow bulb only.
The brightest H4 55/60w bulb is Philips Vision Plus. So far I have not seen any H4 halogen bulb brighter than this. Those tinted bulb, how can it be brighter than those not tinted? I cannot understand....

Has anybody seen this paintwork on the streets? Does it look good?

Or anybody has any pics to share, pics from honda's website can be misleading

. Professional photographer with good lighting can produce awesome results.

well, sorry that i did not get my facts correct...

logically, i understand what you mean... but you can go to motorworld and they have all the philips bulbs there.. you can see for yourself which is the brightest...

thought some of the bulbs are tinted with blue.. but the light produce is white and not bluish...

in this case seeing is believing for me...

1. tinted bulbs can be brighter than non-tinted bulbs.
2. bulbs tinted blue (or anyother colour) can produce white light.

to understand the principles and concepts behind it, one got to understand the colour spectrum of light (hence, the colours that make up white light) and the frequencies of various light (remember the colours of the rainbow?). you can try tinting bulbs with all sorts of colour to get white light, as long as you know the original/natural colour of the light emitting from it - which is usually dependant on the gas used, then you will know what colours to eliminate or add.
dun want to get too technical

but the above 2 statements are possible.

I know one moderator of SBF rides a new FZ CB1300 Bol'Dor.
We exchange bikes on NSH before... it feels EXACTLY like a CB750 in terms of riding feel (of course more power).

Never seen a seocnd one though. Any one else rode one?

actually. so far think only seen him riding the cb1300 super bol'dor before, no one else (or maybe i'm riding out on the roads often enough).

imho (no

please), the cb1300 super bol'dor is nicer than the cb400 version. the cb400 seems too light weight and a little neither-here-nor-there kinda feel to it.

**blackiek7** · 28-10-2005, 02:15 PM

saw a 1300 along holland road

riden by a uncle...

then saw another along aye exit clementi travellig towards tuas... full black

somehow it still look quite the same as the current one fr the side view.

**metaldog** · 03-11-2005, 02:12 AM

Interesting ... how's the headlight? It looks somewhat smaller than a normal S4. Is it very bright? How does it compare with other S4s and does the windshield help make riding at high speed more comfortable?

brightness is decent and windshield offers some protection otherwise, everthing else is the same

**kennethy** · 12-11-2005, 12:00 AM

wait a few more years loh... by then, bol dor will be very common in SG.. kekeke...

remember when first got my spec III, at the first S4 outing i was one of the rare one... but now, spec III seems to be the more common model of S4 at the outing... kekekeke...

**Lass** · 12-11-2005, 12:15 PM

haha by then perhaps mine is the antique bol dor liao
