Hi

 

I read in this thread about changing the horn on the MP3. I went to Motoworld, and they told me it's not possible to install an air horn. Has anyone here changed to a louder horn? Can let me know where? and what brand/model?

 

Thanks in advance

 

Yoz,

 

Just to share that I went to unique motoring at kaki bukit to install my hella horns, the sound is super and correct me if I am wrong the hella horns are legal.

 

Cheers Mate

[williamleesg]

so how's the trip guys? any photos to post?

[Miaomiqueen]

Sorry new here.....

 

Can i get a few opinions??

 

A vespa LX150 or piaggio mp3 124??

[williamleesg]

Maiomiqueen, i assumed u r a gal.. to me, a vespa will be more suitable for a gal compared to a mp3 (of course i'm not saying a gal shouldn't ride a mp3). Vespa is alot light compared to mp3. You might find it abit difficult to handle mp3 weight. On the other hand, a gal on a vespa definitely has that elegance feel..

Up the choice ultimately lies with the rider's preference..

[Miaomiqueen]

Thanks for your advice! My initial choice was vespa but after knowing that a safer and more stable 3 wheel is available i began to contemplate between this 2 bikes.

I am aware of the weight and price difference but after taking safety into consideration i really don't know which is better.....

MP3 is not safer....still have to practice defensive riding.

[Miaomiqueen]

Haha i'm also tempted by the huge under seat space. Hmmm any lobang plz pm and let me know??? The new mp3 machine alone cost already $9,900. Think plus everything together could be $12k...... I hope to find 2nd hand good condition 1.

[direwolf]

Try Ban Hon Bros at AMK industrial

[williamleesg]

If u r looking at 1st hand MP3, do try Ban Hon Bros as suggested by bro direwolf. Think they are selling the cheapest italian scooters around..

[Miaomiqueen]

Alright! Thanks so much for all your help! Looking forward to owning 1 soon!!

 

Btw, did you guys also got your bikes there??
