honda blackbird

[josean]

pls enlighten me on the design.

is it need to cut out the fairing ?

 

it looks really nice just being able to take out the rear part of the back seat and take ur things....

 

how much does it costs ? where to do it ?

 

 

 

there's one thing abt corbin seats thou.... once new and seated on, the seat moulds to the ass of the rider and the pillion. that is one reason why i discourage the use of 2nd hand corbins.

 

no pun intended. just discussion only. cheers

[schnauzer]

Just replace it with your original seat. my friend urgently selling it now and if really interested can SMS him to view or try it to see whether ur Ass and his Ass is the same size or not? hee hee Think can farther discount some more. BTW it is blue in color.

 

Thanks for asking

yo guyz

 

i need some help here or shall i say need more inputs.

 

I am lookin for a hard compound tyre. Cornerning not important, i need lotsa of distance. I know most of you told me to get 020.

 

Here is the profile of tyre i am lookin for.

It must be

 

1: Cheap

2: Lasting in distance. Wont botak that fast

3: Cornerning not important.

 

I was lookin for macadam type of tyre. Coz i really need a distance tyre. Not touring tyre. Which has the hard center and soft at the side(This is not some pervertive thought eh!)

 

thank you

 

BTW any of you guys ever change the oil type for your fork? and also any difference using dot 3 or do4 brake fluid?

 

And also anyone here braided thier clutch cable hose?

 

I was thinkin why not we put a list some of the bb spare part list for a archive use in the future.

riszuan, ref my last reply to u, the price $690 inc the clutch hose too. everything included like the banjo nuts. i think it is best to use a dot 4 or 5.1 brake oil. dot 4 is the normal 1 that all bikes uses. dot 3 is way lower than dot 4 in term of quailty (vicosity) of oil. want to use a dot 5 oil but was advice not to use as it is not good as u had to make sure that the old dot 4 must be completely drained out.cos it does not blend in with the old oil.it is good as it got silicone base texure.so if u r changing every hose u may choose dot 5. and pls buy from harley davidson as they had the best dot 5 oil ard. but dot 5.1 will be the best choice juz in case u decided to change to dot 4 after 5year of lifespan.as it can blend in with dot 4.

meantime try mez4 tyre.gd for distance but wet condition handling abit poor.no harsh cornering too,,,

The ohlins can cost abt $1800 for the same type with 2way adjustments I think. And the servicing after some time will cost abt $300 compared to the $180 for Penske. So in this way, Penske is cheaper. More ppl buy Ohlins b'cos its more popular around the world. Penske is popular in the US and Canada.

 

All this infor is to the best of my knowledge..... I can always be wrong....

 

Sankar

thanks sankar.u r right.penske is popular in usa and canada while ohlins is ard the world.but that mean i had to adjust the knob now and then to suit the road.but penske offer me a custom made weight suspension.maybe less play with the knob to avoid any upset to the suspension.what u think????? thanks.

The spring rate is measured according to your weight. The guys at bikelab with set the suspension accordingly after installing it. So when you ride for the 1st time after the installation, you'll find it to be on a harder side, but the good thing is when you corner the bike hard, it will be very stable; the suspension will not be bouncing abt too much. I find that for normal road use its a bit hard but for track use the setting rocks. But you can always go back to them to do the adjustment again.

16km/L should be normal ... petrol consumption depends alot on how u ride, tyre pressure, rd condition, flow of traffic.. etc..

actually ... why bother to tune ?

keep it stock lor. should not cause any problems wad. so far ... VTEC only on super4 is carbs. other other VTEC is on the new version of the VFR.

 

anyother bkes on VTEC ?

 

honestly... fuel consumption shouldnt be a consideration when u are riding class 2 bike already. if u want a fuel efficient vehicle, u shouldnt be lookin in this class already.
