Your lightbar didn't have fog lamps? I don't understand.

Oh Bro, I think u really got ripped, cuz daredreamer also selling chrome light bar and its less than SGD200. But pls dun worry, most of us here also kena ripped before, including myself I bought a saddlebag at very famous shop for SGD180, no lock latches, lousy quality and they installed for me wrongly (front side becum back side). Later then i realised ah koon selling qualitied saddlebag at SGD160 only, sad to say i bought from ah koon again and sold off my another saddlebag for SGD80 only.

Anyway bros, can teach me how you all lube your chain without flinging, no matter how little i spray, it stills fling, my left rear fender and signal light always dirty.

 

Btw, i am using Motoline fully synthetic anti-fling chainlube.

i think a little bit of flinging no choice one, but i guess depends on e quality of the spray too. for me, i have been using maxima chain wax... $12 for small bottle and $22 for damn big one... its seriously damn gd and flinging is very minimal...

Nice to get those thick chain lubes. I use PJ1 and it doesn't fling too much.

Maybe synthetic chainlube too "thin" or "liquidey"?

I saw something like that but they were for aftermarket turnsignals.

You attach aftermarket bullet-type micro turn signals to the end of the bar.

Does the bar have holes on the end?

I had used maxima chainlube before, it still flings, i think i shall try maxima chain wax soon

I think so too. When i spray onto my chain, it got a "sssss" sounds, can see that the lube is penetrating the chain. If too thick, does it still penetrates? I think chain wax will be alot more thicker, let me try and see how first.

You don't have to be young and dumb to make mistakes when ordering. Happen to me when I ordered things for my Harley too.

 

I hope your light bar can fit my fog lights somehow. I'll contact you when I'm back in a couple of weeks time. I also don't want to make the same mistake of getting a light bar that can't fit my bike

There's a HK Ebay seller named Kakahealthcare who has a set of driving lights for sale. This will fit an ACE400 too.

I sent an inquiry a few months ago about floorboards.

No reply too. I thought, maybe, they didn't understand English?

 

Why don't you try Motomart?

I once installed a pair of Cobra Slashcuts. Loud and grunty even with baffles.

I had to rejet the carbs but still lost power at the top end. Now I'm back to "stock". Much better overall performance and quieter too.

[lnt]

Thanks for reply...How much was the Cobra? Street legal?

 

I like the loud and grunty part, but it's interesting to know there is a loss of performance. Do u mean a loss of power only at the top end or a overall loss of power? How was the fuel consumption before and after installation?

 

Any others have experience with this or any other exhaust?

I got it used for US$100. Yes it's street legal here in Manila.

Takeoff was strong and quick but on the top end, the power was weak.

I couldn't go higher than 110 kph. On the stock pipe, 130 kph and it had

more to give. It ate just a bit more fuel but it was expected because of

the rejetting.

take note that there is no street legal pipes for cruiser in singapore other then Harley Davidson ;D\

 

Fine up to $500 for a single pipe.. Twin pipe = SGD$1k

[lnt]

No street legal pipes??!! That's sad right? Thought this is based on exhaust passing inspection? You mean none of the after market exhaust is able to pass inspection? They cant be THAT loud?

[dark_angel]

anyone install HEL brake hose for their shadow and how much?

Or just use OEM one?

thks.
