Heading up to Phuket next month! SionG!!!

Seng Kwang or the other fella, situated near Motorworld, that does the welding can help.

Or any steady mech that knows a good welding can do.

 

But just a note, once its broken before, it'll break again no matter hw many times its re-weld..

But then, could be otherwise if workmanship or technique can differ it..

 

[stoner]

All the best for your trip. Ride safe bro...

 

ah... Songkran festival eh?

Kam xia...kam xia....

 

Heading to Ranong too....

 

Can't wait for the trip... damn stress up with work.

 

Once back from trip...probably throwing in my letter "R" to my boss after my trip.

 

Than take a break and ride to ChengMai if time allows...

I would'nt recommend welding... but it all depends on the damage... at times, it'll be wiser to strip all the "Cover" of the tail section to determine the amount or extend of the damage...

 

Should you intend to have some one look into helping you perform the welding... Drop me a PM.. I'll point you at the correct direction. The place where I got my rack set-up..

 

Cheers!

Seng Kwang will not weld. They will make another stainless steel bracket about 5mm thickness and secure on a point on your frame.

[jasonhello87]

Anyone can give me Seng Kwang address????

wah, @ least u can tk a mth to break, i cant... so all hv to pre-plan properly......

[scubasimon]

you can find seng kwang at Seng Kwang Metal Ind Co Is Located In 10 Ang Mo Kio Ind Pk 2A #05-31 AMK Auto Point S(568047). call ahead to William at 64819580 so you know what to do.

 

i went there twice to do up my boxes. first was using givi racks and boxes. then again with my h&b and boxes. with the givi, they can customize them so the boxes sit nicely and it is a cheaper solution. however, do note that the givi rack does not handle weight well and will eventually crack (as you have experienced). the rack they did for my h&b looks super strong...but is costly. i think it is a worthwhile investment though. so call ahead to ask and then decide.

 

all the best.

Cool Dude!

 

Off the record... I have never ever taken a 9 days Leave ever since 12years ago...

 

1st time in sooooo many donkey years... Ha....ha...ha... Stupid me....

 

But with regards to the north north thailand trip, do keep me posted... It's the main reason why I got a S4 in the 1st place instead of a bigger cc bike..

 

Keep me poster HOR!!!

i never even got to clear so many days leaves except during NS & being force to clear block leaves...

ppfftt!

 

& i thought a bigger cc bike shld be able to cruise comfortably for longer trips?

 

as S4 is more of a city zipping bike..

 

but thats IMO. to each his own preferences.

 

for the record, as i cant afford a class 2 bike, so i look @ this alternative.

 

still dreaming of owning a cl 2 bike thou...

 

hmm, will keep u inform of the plannings..

[Fazli]

Its no lau pok leh... I find the Monokey Universal pannier rack very simple and nice.

[scubasimon]

Maybe mine is chiong one as bought from lab. Oh well...am much happier now :-)

[Fazli]

LAB do sell ori givi parts though...
