Woah that is expensive man. The shop I bought mine from mmpc.net.au charged me AUD70 which also included installation as well. Type in search engine for lsl street foot pegs and try other online retailers too. Unfortunately the shop I got it from doesn't ship o'seas

It was a big difference going from the plastic covered oem peg to these ones but the new fit/feel/position is well worth it.

seems like shops in singapore not able to satisfy our modding hunger. nowadays many people buying from overseas website or ebay. haha

[Amokk]

oh wells! looks like its gonna be searching time again!

[Royeight]

Anyone knows which shop has the most variety of nice S4 "heads"/headlights? I like the Honda Sonic's one

You're not alone it's the same here in Australia too. I have sourced more than 1/2 of my aftermarket mods from overseas sources. If you don't search you will never find.

hi bros, any of u used racing footrest for S4 before?

 

Those who used before care to share how does it compare to stock footrest? They look damn cool, but I used on my NSR SP before and i find that its damn sux.. ridiing posture damn uncomfortable

Then don't think about changing your footrest to those racing type cos the positioning is a few inches back and up. Yes they do look cool for show purpose but look at the design carefully and you'll know that it doesn't serve everyday ride purpose. Ask yourself why are you considering racing footrest for your CB400? Are you scraping your stock footrest at every corner you take? I do scrape my footrest most of the time but position your foot on the "heel plate" and just let your footrest fold and scrape the road.

 

Changing just the footrest is cheaper and less painful than having your footrest break while taking the corner and crashing. You see the designs of those commonly found footrest available in SG market for CB400 and you'll understand why I'm saying this...

This racing footrest by BEET Racing you can consider using but beware of the price tag of S$700.

yo bro fazli.... i was thinking to convert my s4 to boldor.. any idea where can i get it????

[Fazli]

Don't waste time and money... Ever heard before its gonna cost 2-3K and also extensive work need to be done. e.g. welding, cable routing re-wiring and such...

 

You could get yourself a good set of windshield and other necessary mods with that kind of money...

Have seen the 2nd windshield on a Black Version S.

I tink it might be one of e forumers.

Black & Orange in colour with side panniers.

wrong post!

[kevinseahkh]

hey guys, i'm currently riding a spec1, was thinking of changing my mirrors to the koso mirrors. read about them vibrating at high speeds though, was wondering how high this speed is! will it be okay if i keep the speed below 130-140?

also thinking about getting a belly pan, would a long/short one be advisable? and would it affect riding/taking humps in any way?

 

I'm new here, any help greatly appreciated, thanks!

Get the metal type not those plastic one....already used both..plastic is totally horrible...cant see much even at 90-100km/hr...metal much better...recommend the metal type that rxgn is selling in CMO...slightly bigger than the normal small rectangle mirror that everyone use...blue tinted and only cost ard $30..

 

Better get the longer type..when changing EO...no need to take out but of course more expensive....

wah that sounds pretty bad. so the big rectangle mirrors or small rectangular mirrors? too bad the sharp ones looked pretty good but they come in plastic. dang.

thanks for the info man!

[outspoken]

im using the oval koso big type...maybe u should go and see the difference...i prefer bigger..can see better and safer...unless if ur more interested in looks then i guess should be the small one...every where u can see pple using it...

Bro, go for the one outspoken is toking about... I saw his bike before... not bad looking. Till today I'm still using the plastic koso that u wanted to buy... sometime it is so bad that in a few moments I could not determine the car behind me is near or far... especially @ night...

[pyro13]

Im using d rectangle one. I feel tt it suits a scrambler handlebar as the mirrors are more extended out. On a stock handlebar, u cant see much

[kevinseahkh]

oh okay, thanks! i think i'll check both the mirrors out. i'm trying to get one that doesn't stick out as much as the stock mirrors but yet looks good and allows adequate visibility! sounds like the oval one though

[Fazli]

ok fully agreed with u bro..... thanks bro.... btw the 2nd picture any idea where to get it....

 

You can try call up Motorworld and quote the kit # available in this webby...

[outspoken]

FYI...this is how it looks like on the bike...u can adjust the positioning to ur liking...

Yes bro. Agree with u. The rect one suits better for longer bars..
