any forumer here with a wee-strom travelling on KJE towards BKE on saturday 1pm? fy plate, with black wind breaker...

you must be doing at least 150km/h.

cstay66 · July 28, 2008

the new windshield is about 3inch taller and wider.

greater wind protection.

i adjusted to the tallest. a bit filmy at the tip.

i did 150km/h when trying to catch up with the other wee on KJE.

very stable for the ride.

overall, with something newer, clearer, bigger, it's great.

us$63 on the internet, us$15 handling fee, vpost charges another s$30.

it costs around s$150.

i am ready for the 3ncr.

Lets talk gantungs..... After installing my SengKwang crashbar, found out e front fork cannot take the weight. (mostly from me actually) So did a little research at VSRI to change my spring rates for both the front and e rear. Since Wilbers had gone Euro.. chossing HyperPro suddenly came so easy...hehe... HP has a combination spring for both the front and rear for Stroms... And I'd checked with Motorworld(distributer) for the price(S$460 inclusive installation) and it just 20 buxs diff than online buy... But S*** is they had no stock... S***!!! Will call em if they can order it for me...

Question is any of u guys other than Peter "play" with ur suspension and shocks?? Opinions, feedbacks, objections please.....

Wah .... Like Traffic Police .. I doubt he must be very fast , did u manage to catch up ?

Tats a nice looking windscreen , wat brand is it ?

I m glad u like it ,

BUT having a new ,clear and stable windscreen doesnt give u the reason for speeding .The real Tp wont accept it if u get caught.

I doubt that the SengKwang crashbar really that heavy.

Actually it maybe times up for a suspension servicing or an upgrade .

Any brand / upgrade will be a lot much better than those stocks. Only the price make the differences.

I also had been putting off my upgrade for a long time .Now contemplating either to upgrade the suspension or UPGRADE TO ANOTHER BIKE .

dont know what brand. get it from here:

http://www.suzukipartsoutlet.com/default.asp

tried catching up, but when i realised i did 150km/h, i slowed down. so, he must hav done more than 150km/h.

anyone ordering any stuff from the same store, pls keep me informed. want to order some other stuff and share shipping cost.

thank you.

I'll talk to motorworld and they will order em for me...Gotta wait for 1-2months to ship:slapforehead: n intend to change both the front and back. Its a combination HyperPro Progressive Springs kit... http://www.partsforbike.com/detail.php?pid=449

Wilbers will be great option few years ago but now they have gone EURO$... Its too high on my wishlist. So I'll see how the springs works 1st. If no significant improvement then HyperPro 3D shocks will be my next target...

I'm intending to change my rear spring. How much does the Wilbers cost?

Hahaha ... not Stelvio obviously . Heard a first hand review of the bike . Not really impressive and up to mine expectation .

My dream bike has always been the GSA .

Still awaiting for loan approval from Spore Pools. May take quite some time .

wow GSA.

i like the 33-litre tank. can top up and transfer petrol from bike to car.

but it's like built for the angmoh leh. you need at least 1.8m tall to tip toe.

and it costs a bomb. it is only sensily to own the bike if singapore pools process your loan.

happy applying.

but hor, if you dont mind pooling 2-3 riders to share and co-own the GSA, you may not need to hear from singapore pools.

as for me, my next bike would be fjr. now looking for co-rider.

any taker?
