no need advise to take out the left side shock

 

jus remove the below bolt. and lift it out via behind- pull back.

 

then u can put in the hugger easily.

once done. juz "lift" ur bike abit and u can push back the shock and tighten back the bolt.

 

cheers

Hey yo bros, 2 days back, I checked HKL out for them huggers and Benny quoted me $65 for arrow, + $20 and + $40 for respray. y'all think I'm getting ripped here?

And recently, I went down Lavender 219. They installed this okado belly pan, but like attached it with cable ties only. How'd you bros actually screw onto ur bikes man?

[Jorn]

yo s4vtec, bro, was talking to ya bout them givi wingracks. think I be having the same prob as you bro. its too high and just wrong. you gonna diy that?

besides that, my suspension protectors don't fit no more, and I dunno where to get new ones. need ur advise bro. thanks dude.

What's the "+$20" for?? $65 + $40 for respray will be okay and reasonable.. althou some shops will only charge $30 for respraying.. price difference for the paint will be the quality of paint used..

 

nowadays quite a number of shops are lazy to fix the belly pan properly because they see the need of taking it out frequently for oil change.. those got it screwed on is using those metal strips the using bolt and nut.. but must bare in mind, some mech may ot take out your belly pan when you change EO.. so may dirty the belly pan..

 

hope it helps..

he got his wingrack from me.. i got it from 219.. the brackets are from 219..

 

he simply switched the brackets from left and right.. the rack got lowered.. there's a good alternative, but EXPENSIVE.. try Seng Kwang, they sure can customise brackets that fit onto your bike properly at the right height..

 

 

suspensions protectors can fit with some minor modifications to it.. no need to buy new one..

hey thanks for the replies bro. sori, I kinda get the metal image that after switching sides, the signals are now facing the front?

hey yar, I went down to seng kwang and that guy wanted to saw off and re-pos my exhaust. kinda drastic don't you think, just for a pair of sideboxes?

rats... shoulda gotten the hupco and becker setup.
