  1. Thanks for the add!
  2. Hello all, Am thinking of taking over a 2005 RC 42.. I went to talk to some mechanics and there were mixed views. My concern is the maintainability of the bike! My mech suggested not to get it cause spare parts for the bike are hard to find. I really like the bike though! But some work needs to be done.. The front fork suspension is leaking and one of the front brake caliper is leaking a little too. Any thoughts and views from fellow CB750/RC42 riders? Am also planning to do a cafe racer mod for it actually...
  3. Hi guys! Am planning to upgrade to a Class 2 come December! Went down to Mah Motors the other day and fell in love with the Thruxton! Loved the middle rear controls and the overall cafe racer look of it! But I was told a Bonnieville can actually be modded to a cafe racer style as well! And that a Bonnie might actually be more worth it since its about 2k cheaper! So I thought that I could get a Bonnie and swap out to rear controls and get a cafe racer seat, clip ons or clubman handlebars and achieve the same cafe racer look! What do you guys think! And how about the maintenance for either a Bonnie or a Thruxton.. From my knowledge, Triumphs are pretty rare on the roads so getting spare parts for them would be hard and are there any other places that does servicing for Triumphs other than Mah themselves? I'd love to hear input from you guys! Cheers!
  4. Hey guys, I heard some of you guys change send your bike for servicing every 2000-3000km? What does servicing entail? Just changing the EO? Cause yea so far the only servicing I've done for my bike's to change the EO! And I lubricate my bike chain once in a while with the chain lub! Should I be doing more? And yea for a while now when I'm applying the rear brakes there's a sound coming off. Sounds a little like your bicycle when its a little old. There's this sharp braking sound coming off but it only happens when I'm braking at low speeds though... Any idea what that could be? :S
  5. Haha wash it as per usual means just water? And yea I think your right about the curing part. Damn.. Its quite noticable though. Do you think Planet will help me rectify the problem? :S
  6. Hi guys! Thanks so much for the assistance last week! Finally got my bike back and got most of the parts fixed! Anyways! Now my bike's matt black but there seem to be some fingerprint marks on the fuel tank that I can't seem to wash off with water... Is it possible to use car wash solution on matt black surfaces? :S

  8. Alrights thanks much! Will head over there once my bike's repainted! :S Taking such a long time!
  9. Oh hey guys, Do you mind telling me where's LAB? I tried googling it but I can't seem to find it..
  10. Oh.. Lol where can I get the stickers from? Koon? And yeap I'm probably gonna fix some reflective stickers somewhere.. Hmms and if i keep this low handlebar but get one with a pull back... would it be an issue? Like it hitting the tank and stuff.. But yea your right I think I'd use the stock one if I find it too uncomfortable.. :S
  11. Eh.. Mine's the one with the black saddle bags! And erm what do you mean by whole bike? My tank, front and back mudguards are matt black.. Is that okay? I asked Ah CHong and he told me its legal... :S And what other ways can I make my bike visible? Gah should I just change it to Glossy black instead? :S Oh one other thing guys. I love the look of the Shadow. But I can't get around how the handle bar looks so nice for Shadow.. But for the Ta200 It seems a little high. I change my handle bar to a lower one now but it feels a little weird cause I'm a pretty small guy and yea I've gotta lean forward quite abit now. Would having a pullback help? Still with a lower height of course..
  12. Well I went to planet motors today and he said he could knock out the dent till its unnoticeable and to repaint it matt black.. together with the front fender and rear fenders... So I went ahead with it. Any problems with matt black though? Does it get dirt on easily and stuff? Oh any yea I gotta change my headlamps to bullet headlamp and side mirrors.. anyone know where can I get a good selection from?
  13. Alright it got the rest of the parts fixed. Now I'm left with the dented fuel tank... I'm thinking of getting it repainted with some designs and apparently HL CYCLE does stuff like that. Anyone can advise if that workshop's reputable price wise and workmanship wise? Oh yea and I'm gonna get the mud guards changed to match the fuel tank as well.. Any advise? Many thanks!!
  14. Ah.. Alright thanks guys. So I'll probably estimate the total cost to be 300+? And anything else I should look out for that might be damaged after a fall like that? :S
  15. Yea.. I'm alright it was my friend who 'crashed' it actually. Pretty mad about it but he said he's gonna cover the damages.. But yea.. Went to take a look at it again and realized that the wheel's not aligned anymore. :S I.e when the handle bar's straight the wheel's not straight.. Can that be fixed? or it'll require major work.. And 200 plus should cover which parts? I heard a fuel tank alone's gonna cost 300+? Thanks guys...
  16. Hey guys.. My bike fell on the right side while riding and now there's a huge dent in the fuel tank. And the foot brake pedal on the right side's bend upwards and the head light and right signal light isn't working anymore and the head light's sorta shifted and now its facing to the right more... Anyone can tell me how much is it to get it all fixed? And any other possible problems that might happen? Like... Steering cone off alignment and stuff? -New fuel tank... -Foot Brake Pedal.. -Cost to fix the lights.. Anyone can please advice on this! Many thanksss!
  17. Hey guys.. I've got a 9 year old phantom that I bought 2 weeks ago... After riding for a week, my front wheel has this squeaky noise coming out of it. I'm pretty sure it comes from the front wheel and not the brakes. I've tried using WD40 around the axle where I can reach and it was fine for a night. The second day the damn noise came back.. And when I tried spamming more WD40 around the axle but the noise is still there? Any suggestions? This guy I met at the carpark said it could be due to the brake disc warping or the bearing. Any idea how much they would cost to replace?
  18. Hey guys! I'm thinking of getting a bike in Oct and well the RW X5 is something I'm looking at. Basically cause it doesn't look like any 2B bikes, like the Kawasakis and SPs. I can't stand the high pitched engine sound that those 2 bikes make... I prefer the low growl kind... And well I like its large wheel base. And it looks like only one of the few 2B bikes with it... So!!! What do you guys think? My concern's the cost, maintenance and resale value.. Any advice? Other bikes I'm considering are Phantom TA200 and Daelim Daystar... But my parents want me to get a first hand bike.. And Phantoms are no longer in production I heard? And also I heard the resale value for Daelim's quite low... Advice? Thanks loads guys!
