Hi guys, need some advice here. I'm totally noob in cruisers. I used to ride a super4 vtec1 but got into a accident & end up have to scrap my bike. In the next few month after i recover, i'm planning to ride again. So im here seeking for class 2A cruiser bike now.

 

So can some experience cruiser rider explain to me among steed, shadow & even dragstar, wat are the differences between

-fc?

-performances?

-prices ?

 

I'm not looking for speed, just relax, good fc & reasonable prices. So what do u guys recommend? Also what should i look out for when i pick a cruiser bike? scare kana cheated by bike uncles.[/QUO

 

 

 

try this, i think its cheap for 45 k mileage bike

Dragstar is belt driven

Dragstars are shaft driven

Oops! Sorry, made a mistake! Ya, shaft driven

Hi bro, I rode my dragstar for 5 mths and shadow for 6 mths, so just can offer a bit of info....

 

FC - I think dragstar can get better fuel efficiency ( 300+km for full tank of 14 or 15 l tank ) as my shadow only abt 200 over. Then again, my dragstar was 5 yrs old but my shadow now is 13 yrs old so there could be a difference due to age.

 

As for performance, I can feel Shadow is a bit better in terms of speed. But dragstar is quite hot on the engine areas due to no liquid cool system.Dragstar is belt driven.

In terms of size n weight, both are quite similar - big and heavy!

 

Price-wise, they're quite close, but it depends on the condition and age of the bikes.

 

Take a look on my bikes for comparison and decide carefully....cheers n take care!

 

wow, nice bike u got there.

hi guys , any idea how much to change the handle bar? i riding a dragstar classic thought of changing something like the shadow one

[Hellsing]

Hi,

 

I tried to remove the rear left cover to check why my oil pressure lamp will not light up. I already took out the bolt and could loosen the cover but it seems to be held back by something.

 

Do I just pull it out hard, or is there something else?

 

Thanks in advance

Hi guys , i been down to ubi bikeshop today to settle some paperwork for my bike. I was asking the uncle got any cruiser bike to intro, then he recommend me to get a phantom ta200.

 

Any one ride a phantom ta200 before? Some of my frenz tell me dun get coz its a problem bike (always stall), others say its fc is not bad, cheap to maintain. What u guys think? Whats good or bad about this bike? should i get a class 2a cruiser instead?

cant comment much abt phantom cos i never ridden one before , but judging from the number on the road , should be a good bike . details u prob have to go to PK forum as they will be most well equipped to ans abt phantom 150/200

 

some guys actually make the move up from smaller 2b cruisers to 2A ones in the long run .

IMHO ,

 

2A cruiser cheaper but maintenance/ fc higher

2b more ex but cheaper maintenance / better fc .

 

guess it depends on ur needs and wants

Ive ridden a ta200 and a steed400.

Ta200 is way economical but the latter performs better ; cornering, stopping - acceleration

The ta felt way too small.

[undeadsaint]

Wow, thkz guys for all ur advices. I'm gona look around for these few months first while waiting for doctor to give me the green light to ride again. If u all do have any good lobang do let me know =)

There is a hidden clip that keeps the cover in place. Its on the top of the case. Use your finger to expose it and just pull off. The cover will then come off. Return the clip after and hide it again.

Hope that helps.
