Oh yea...one of the sucky thing about RVFs is its crispy thin fairings. Especially at the tail. I neglected to tell to NEVER apply force to that part..... Thaz why you see my tail always abit dirty even when i finished washing it.

 

And yea...for the sake of the crispy thin fairings.....do slow dowwwwn on the uneven roads of JB. Some of the potholes are pretty destructive to the bodywork....especially the huge U turn back to SG after Shell.....take it easy man! hehe.

 

Oh well.....all the more reason for that Tyga tail mod.............

Haha.. Tell me about it..

 

The tail is soo fragile man.. I rarely pillion ppl coz i scared for the bike..

 

Btw, your mech is taking damn good care of the bike.. i visit him quite often.. Usually nothing is wrong, but i disturb him to check this and that to make sure my bike is 100%.. And he's damn cool about it.. I always pay him extra for servicing just to show that i like his work dude..

 

Hmm.. Tyga mod.. Enticing... Slowly my friend..

scary cat:

 

From the picture of your damage, I think you only need to make replacement for the side piece. Head fairing crack should be able to patch back. Can go to Shun Li Industrial, Kaki Bukit there Sing Huat Motors check out if can patch head fairing and the spray job cost (should be $500 for whole bike spray) as well. For the side fairing, like zod said, can get from Honda dealer new one for $100+ (with original sticker and paint).

 

IMO, it's more important to get the basics well and working 1st, ie. battery, rectifier and throttle etc.

 

Cosmetics-wise can slowly source and do when have money. Unless you want to get the whole set from the ebay which I think is a really good deal compared to my replacements.

 

Cheers

Original fairings are not as bad actually compared to race fairings. But I agree to the tail part.

 

2 partial solutions - Can ask bike shop to join the tail into 1 piece to strengthen it OR stuff a piece of rubber at the tail bottom to push the small part up such that you wont press it too hard inwards and break it.

worth it meh ?

 

transport fee like 300 pluz liao le.

1) If you buy whole set original from Honda dealer cost approx $1k+ to 2k.

 

2) Get from motorworld race fairing $600+(front) plus $380(tail), total $1k but without paintwork. Paintwork cost minimum $300+ for one colour.

 

3) Ebay that one $500+ full set and comes with original paintwork.

 

Which do you think is a better deal then my friend...

[TheBeast]

Each alarm is coupled to a remote. I don't think you can get a replacement remote as they each have their own frequencies.

 

If you can get a replacement remote, that would render all Steel Mate alarms useless.

basically tats means i gotta change my remote set.....well i'll try lookin ard 1st b4 i change it....... anyway thankz.....

Yup, you got to change your alarm.

But if you managed to get a replacement remote somehow, do let me know. Cos it's time to change alarm...

In an alarm system, the unit and remote are coupled together with a security code. This enables the unit and remote to recognize each other. Unless the unit comes with a master reset and code relearning function, the chances of programming a new remote to match the unit is very very slim.

 

The last time I checked, even the manufacturer of Steel Mate alarm is not able to replace your remote.

 

Do you guys even realise the implications of being able to get a replacement remote for your lost one? If you can do it, anyone can. This would render all alarms useless.

Tyga one order plus shipping cost abt $1600 I think. But you must understand that its plain w/o paintwork. Plus a lot of labour needed to modify all the stays and fixing points.

 

It definitely bring out a lot of styling but definitely a no-go for your budget. Fairing + Shipping + Paintwork + Labour gonna cost over 2k definitely.

 

My 2 cents...

TAT day on ECP a RVF BLOW and challenge me..TO all surprise..the rvf engine stall halfway through.. so shameful...

don't really understand what are u trying to tell us? if it's abt the biker attitude, i guess it's really a pity to have it but maybe u are toying with him as well....if u are pointing at the bike, probably it's due to poor maintainance which again due to negligent of the rider....maybe your TZM is too fast for our bike to handle then...

 

have a nice day and ride safe...
