V-Strom (650cc & 1000cc)

[khaikanu]

 

I spend about $50 at auntie shop beside LAB to cut the seat.....she had to see your butt and balls to fit it out .. the seat is funtional and comfortable.

 

I spend about $200 to custmise my DR 200 seat at eugene...I Love his work it's the work of love

 

 

 

 

 

waaah 200 just for ur DR200? hmmph if loike tat, how much would it cost for vstrom seat then.. more than 200?

go see if any long legs wee owners that want to exchange seat or not...after exchange will solve some of your problem.

The wear should be better than Metzeler Tourance EXP & Pirelli Scorpion (my opinion).

 

But the price for Anakee 2 is abit expensive = $445.00 (from Unique Motorsports)

 

ic. got a mixed bag of reviews from vsri users i.e. squirmy feelings at the rear.

now still reading the metzeler tourance reviews

 

btw, i noticed they changed their tyres very fast. like they changed their worn oem trailwing at 14,000KM. Their riding muz be damn aggressive.

i've been using anakee for 2 cycles and managed to clock more than 20,000 KM for normal city riding (average

 

At one time, Anakee starts to wear out at and the wire can be seen after at 14,000 KM but that was after 10,000KM of average 800KM per day of riding and back to city riding after a 2 weeks trip.

 

If i were to use tourance, i don't think the tyre will last the whole trip.

One of my Malaysian contractor (stayin in JB) once told me that his bike tyre wear out faster as compare to his colleague (stayin in SG).

He says that the road in Malaysia is rougher and better for high speed travelling (so more wear).

 

My personal experience is that the faster u travel the more wear on your tyre.

sounds like this tyres can churn out a lot of mileage.

from ur experience, how is the handling compared to Trailwing or Tourance?

tourance wins in handling...but will wear out first...even city riding...

The old trailwing sux and i never used it anymore...can try battlewing or tourance exp....

on 2nd set of Tourance EXP..... nice leh.. even on rainy weather..

 

I was thinking of a pair of street tires next round. Since i studying and seldom tour for now...

 

But everyday also like touring la... 75km to and fro work... .If got class worst..

If i not rem wrongly ... my last set lasted me more then 15

 

peepz try to keep ya tyre pressure checked every alternate refueling ( if you ride often) if not once a weekor fortnight.

It helps on the milege !!! a lot!!!

[MonoWorld]

ano, wad are the street tyres available for strom? pilot road?

i more or less solved it by changing to a aluminium handle bar(pro taper mid rise), BMW grip and wearing a glove.

i don't mind trying out vee seat on my wee... would luv the xtra height...

was thinkin of adding cushion to my wee seat.. haha

care to share wats the ideal tyre pressure for the wee??

[smokin]

very comfortable and no more pain in the a55.

[mafitra]

Bro, one more ting... can u share with me why u prefer the wee instead??

 

 

Hmm Why I choose the wee instead of Vee ah.... I consider the following the following factors. Wee spec no need to say ah. All of us know already or can search internet.

 

1) Not willing to spent more on road tax and insurance.

2) I find Wee is enough for me. Occasionally I do hit to 18 at NSH

3) Speed is not a major factor for me but comfort level, ability to maintain it monthly with enough cash is. If you want speed, go get Vee, Busa, but I find FJR and STX most comfortable of all.

4) Wee's Mileage is what I like the most. Wee average of 22-25 km/l to Vee 17-18 km/l is what I like I like.The most I hit with Wee is 450km with full tank.

6) Before buying Wee, I already said to myself that whatever bike I buy next after my RXZ; will have to be at least comparable standard or more to AT.

7) You want speed and power go for Vee. But for me Wee is enough. I know a nomber of ppl who buy Fazer 1. When it comes to touring; they only ride 15-18 max. Near death experience probably teach me and them to slow down a bit. (Though I also ride fast liao.... Hehehe)

8) No of Wee here is so small that I haven ride with another Wee before.Always with Vee. So it's more exclusive.......

 

Hahhahaha:cheeky::cheeky:

[anodise57]

250 front 280 rear!!!

[mafitra]

250 front 280 rear!!!

 

Correct as stated in the manual.... Ano.. Sometimes I think the way u reply like u are just piss off with our queries is it?:angel::angel:

 

NO hard feelings ah bro...

[anodise57]

if you are 180 and above. I reckon extra height will be more comfy on the riding posture. Coupling with raised handle bar.

 

Smokin and me had the luxury of exchanging with 2 kind souls (Vee & wee Xchange of seats)

Shiokness!!

everyone rides home a happy man.

 

Cos if you reduce or adding height/thickness. Its gonna cost ya. That might lead to getting designer prints on the seat (like rad leapard printz..... ^_^) End up u gonna spend a bomb.

 

Why not sit down round up those who fine too tall or too short for them and discuss over a cuppa coffee and see if Xchanging is the way to go.

original seat still best. Confirm wont soak up water

eugene pricing is veri customise for the individual...you had to go and see him for him to gauge your taste and your butt... and he charges accordingly ....it's veri seldom do i hear any complain form his customer...most of the time is praises onli:angel:
