[singkiwi]

Hi Guys, I am thinking of getting a S4 and modifying it to be a cafe racer look a like...

 

For instance changing the seat from a current slope to a straight flat seat etc....

 

Any inputs or ideas who can help me in it?

 

Cheers!

I'll have some photo's soon.

Frame done

Tank and seat almost finished

Engine in this weekend...

Wiring etc next week....

Not too far away.

 

I'm doing it myself, not sure about who else would have a go? maybe vicious cycles?

 

For the seat,

I made a cardboard mock up, then looked for a similar size one on eBay. I have to grind off the lock etc, im going to try and use some of the old mounting blocks, hack them off and bolt/rivet onto the new one. polishing to a mirror finish is a *****! All wiring/battery is going in the hump.

 

Cheers

This is photoshop right? Sorry, I'm using my phone to view the photo's but you appear to have bolted the exhaust to the swing arm.????

Just wanted to share my experience at 219 motorshop design...TERRIBLE. I'm just going to cut the story short. CB400 spec 1 here btw.

 

I went to do decals on my rim. They hardly have mechanical knowledge to simply remove the wheel from a motorcycle. I know their specialty isnt in this area, but given that they might have to do this at some point, shouldnt it be expected that they at least know how to remove a wheel? They needed 4 men just to remove my rims. And they didnt even remove the calipers before taking down the wheel until i have to tell them. Also, looking at them trying to squeeze back every single part back into its place by brute force worries and pains any bike owners im sure. I'm no mechanical expert that is why im paying for people to do it.

 

When they pushed my bike out of the shop i just didnt felt right, so i did a check. Wow, rims mounted in reverse direction, disc brakes in wrong position. They had to repeat the process 3 TIMES just to get the position right. and when i moved off, my brakes started to screech. Just so you know, 2 weeks before I sent my bike to 219, i changed my front wheel bearing at Planet motor, so they checked the stuffs in the front including the brakes. So no problem, no sound. fantastic.

 

That guy from 219 ( I think he's the boss) even had the cheek to show attitude and tried to push away all fault. He said even if he were to hold the disc brakes up high and slam it on the ground it would never have bent. Not sure how true is this, but highly doubting it. Oh ya, did i mentioned that he didnt even apologise for the entire incident? When i was about to leave he just simply made his way back into the shop.

 

This sort of attitude... can you, as a paying customer, take it? I posted comments on their facebook page and THEY BLOCKED ME, and even tried to be saracastic about it! This is THE worst business etiquette i ever seen.

This entire incident ended at 12am. (Bike was supposed to be ready at 9pm). After this entire **** experience at 219 motorshop, i sent my bike the next day to Planet motor just to get everything back in place. ( 219 lost a part of the brake calipers, suppose to hold the pads in place).. I must share this with you to make sure either they change their attitude, or us bikers can just go on to the shop a couple doors away. 219's workmanship isnt that great anyway. the stickers on my rims are peeling a little on the sides already.

 

You guys decide to put your bike in 219's hands or not.

Hey guys, may I know if the temperature light is necessary during daily usage? I know I can do without indicator lights and neutral lights. Reason is because I just took over a Ver S and the speedo looks old. If possible I would like to change it away. Thanks in advance!
