LD I just got ot fom the guy today. The universal bracket sucks big time. It doesnt even suit the bike at all. At any way it cant be mounted on to the bike. Seems to me it suits bike like Vtec 3 or others with undertray not for Blades I'm sure. Haiz sian sms the guys never reply. Money wasted.

sorry for the bad intro

 

anyway which FE are you gonna get?

[eldottore46]

Its OK LD its not your fault.

Perhaps getting the Graves Motorsport FE. (MO Anyone?)

The HARRIS FE I calculated cost $205.79 without shipping

Now I knew the scientific name for Tongkat Ali Did u bring some home ?

I must admit that ur photos taking skills had improved tremendously.

Ur having so much fun down there posing with all the beautiful backgrounds.

Even posing with the latest Dainese jacket

You need some?

 

X'mas will be going up to KL again, anyone interested?

 

Eldo, personally, I'd prefer to have the fender on. I always thought without the fender, the bike looks very beng-ish, especially when the license plate hangs too deep and low. But then, it's just my taste. If you like it, go for it!

[Tashi]

Late breaking news, the 2006 600RRs are here. Looks like Boon Siew models as they are EK types.

Hi all, i jus fixed a pipe and need some help here,

for pipe inspection is it only @ LTA Sim Ming there?

Roughly wat are the procedure? But i still waiting for the test report before i go for inspection....

[eldottore46]

You have a point there Tashi, thanks for the advice.

Will evaluate the pros and cons carefuly.

It took me weeks to consider fixing the sliders, eventually I didn't fix it as I didn't like the idea to drill holes on my fairing cos I felt it's gonna look ugly.

Though the mechs at Motoworld tried to convince me that they can do a good job I still don like the idea.

which pipe did you get?

[Tashi]

Sean, you can go to any inspection centers. Just bring the homologation papers and pay S$50 plus. What's this secret pipe you got? Heh.

 

LD, could it be Vincent you are supposed to talk to in LTA?

 

Eldo, once you drill holes, there will be "no more" warranty on the fairings if there should be any cosmetic defects.

yes it's Vincent, you know him? ask him close 1 eye leh.

 

cosmos - is the test report you waiting for from the manufacturer itself? from what i know it has to be the 1 used to get the exhaust homologated. any other reports they ain't gonna accept.

[Tashi]

The key word was "interview". I thought it must be him. I used to speak to him a lot. Chances are good if he asked you to go for one. Make sure you dress in a shirt and tie when you see him. If you have long blond hair, go for haircut before you see him. Any hint of beng-ness will diminish your chance.

 

Bengs are brash, uncultured, irresponsible, have low IQ, are ruled by emotions, begins and punctuates every sentence with a hokkien vulgarity and generally deemed not worthy of wielding an aftermarket pipe by LTA folks.

 

Hey, does the above description begin to sound like us? Whatever you do, don't mention my name or he will throw you out.

 

These are the tips I can offer. Now, if you can tell me how to get one of those Bose Companion 3 speakers from Starhub without upgrading to that higher speed plan, that would be good, heh.

[LastDance]

well my long crop has been reduced to a school boy's cutting after reservist..

i do think i speak proper english..

no i'm not a hokkien inclined speaker..

 

hmm guess i've got a good chance here!

 

i shall continue my quest to wield a unique exhaust and pay him a visit soon, if all fails guess i've to wield a rare exhaust instead

 

btw the Bose promo is over, you're late and no, it's a must to u/g to the higher access plan

my bike all touched up already

 

claims handled by bike shop

[LastDance]

had a conversation with Vincent from LTA Vehicle Engineering this afternoon. apparently the certificate that i got from the distributor had 3 missing pages. had strong indication from Vincent that i could get the exhaust approved with those 3 missing pages, this made my day!

 

emailed the distributor for the 3 missing pages and got a demoralizing reply.

 

just sent in a last email to LTA, this will be my last try. if it fails i'll be shopping for those approved 1s in SG.

 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

 

I had spoken to Vincent from your department today and he had requested for the 3 missing pages of the certificate of the Devil exhaust that i plan to bring in.

 

I've attached reply below from the parent company(Devil) and a distributor from Australia for the Devil exhaust. They've ridiculed our country for our rigidness. While i do not appreciate their comments about our country but i will understand their reason since it has EEC certification.

 

I've been to other countries and have seen first hand the appaling level of noise and air pollution they have and commend LTA in ensuring our country does not succumb to such a level. I again highlight that the exhaust has received EEC homologation which is acceptable to the strict limits of EU nations, I hope LTA will consider again. My aim is not to have the loudest exhaust or the one that polluts the air the most but just to be unique within an acceptable standard, in this case EEC.

 

Regards

Alvin

Alvin,

 

See attached response from the parent company!

 

There are no other pages available for the certification.

Hope that it works out!

I have carry it to Seng Kwang for some cut b4 in a back pack by letting the pipe sticking out of the bag....but remember to secure proper. it won't be nice if it drop out when u are riding

Perhaps u can have a look at cbrmicheal fender eliminator.His fender

eliminator 'Puig' brand.He bought it at lab for $120 if i'm not mistaken.

[chilly]

LD- Like what Edwin said I carried the pipe home in my backpack too.

I strap the backpack with elastic strap on the back coz I can't closed the

zipper fully.Be careful coz it will hit ur helmet from time to time (wear cheap

helmet) & don't lean ur body too much when cornering.

it's not a secret , i got a leo vince pipe, fixed up already then he told me cannot find the test paper.....

i didn't wait for the laser duo tech as local distributor still can't get approval after 2 mths..

 

the finishing is jus as u say is not as good as compare to arrow n akra

leo vince have 2 parts which greatly reduce the sound

1 is the muffer, the other 1 is a metal plate between the mid pipe and end can

tried removing the metal plate and the sound is great

but once the plate is in, it is jus abit louder than stock pipe

so now waiting for the test paper for inspection then can remove the plate

Hi LD, actually i don't know much about the necessary papers for the pipe inspection. Wat i jus know is the test report i jus let the shop settle the paper for me, Sorry bout that

 

the mid pipe is light, but the rest of the pipe is terrible......

and the heat shield also...

leo vince should be safe

 

cos vincent told me all leo vince pipes come with a tech booklet

 

it was based on this tech booklet which was why lta approved em

 

as for inspection centres, i believe any will do

 

i went to the 1 behind ssdc when i got a yoshi on my previous bike

err... which exhasut are u refering to?

 

considering a few brands before getting L.V

1)akra ( nice quality but sound like original with muffer n ex)

2)arrow(nice+gd quality n loud but wan to try others)

3)laser extreme(too fierce for me )

4)laser duo tech(wait for papers from manufacturer til sianz...)

 

so end up with Leo Vince as the shop have stock n the price is gd
