[Discussion] Technical - Cosmetic Modifications

[thrasher]

no wonder... i just realised im using a non vtec bar... after viewing all the vtec bikes... i always wondered how come my handlebar seems much lower.. nvm i like... with my lowered forks... it looks super low profile. hehe

[thrasher]

hey i was wondering, is it easy to remove your rear fender and tail lights and signal lights? im thinking of fixing an integrated tail light and if an inspection is due, it can be easily fixed back by me.

Wat's the purpose of changing your bar should be your consideration. If to increase the bar height for comfort riding, then just get a bar riser of 25mm to 30mm w/o having to do any modifications to cables or hoses. If you want a lower or sportier feel, just get yourself the non-Vtec handlebars. For myself I bought the bar risers off ebay from UK.

With a few screws from inside your tailboard you can remove your rear mudguard and taillight liao...

They are the CB400 Project Big 1, Version R and Version S. These bikes their handlebars have a lower rise compared to V-tecs.

[Fazli]

If I were you, get the authentic Bagster. Worth the money you spend on. No regrets.

Got pic?..nt sure uh what is authentic Bagster..haha

[Fazli]

Bagster is the brand of the tank bra. Underside is lined with soft fabric to protect the paintwork of the tank. Quality and workmanship is excellent. Material used is very durable.

You can try looking at Honda spare parts dealer like Chong Aik and FJT. Or you can go to Boon Siew to ask.

If you don't need the height from the bars and want a sportier posture, no need get risers. Just change to non-Vtec handlebars and you're good to go. And if you stil have the OEM nut in your handlebars, remove them and install in your new bars. Then you can fit in Honda specific balancers due to the slot cut in the nut.

 

But if you want the height to have a more comfortable riding posture, just get the risers of about 25-30mm rise. No other modifications needed.

 

I would recommend you BST Racing UK risers from Ebay. Me and ldslds are using these. They come in 20mm, 25mm and 30mm aluminium or black. Longer bolts included. Cost me around S$80.

1) You can look for our bro here nick "ldslds" to do your fender eliminator. He does a wonderful job.

 

2) Cut wat front? Its a plug and play thingy for the hugger. No cutting needed. Just that maybe need to adjust the holes for screwing into your swingarm.

[KerplunkZ]

whats fendel eliminator ? my bike got no rear mud guard but got hugger. everytime rainy day, with no mudguard the water sure wet my back >.
