Modding the S4

[RVF_Kenny]

Xixy: Ghost II is wad bike? Haya? Thanks for the info man... guess I can install myself then...

 

Siaoster: I think you will be pretty much interested in the fairing I'm getting cos by default if I'm not wrong got blue ones. So you can save on the spray paint.

 

6.5rpm: but I haven buy yet lar. But just found it. Maybe buying next week after I have enough money. Once I install le then post pics here. But it's not as nice & flashy as yours, xixy's or Wen's ones. Mine's a humble small one... Too big will have headache looking for stickers.

 

Ah Ben: As Siaoster had said, it's everything - internal, external, cosmetic, performance...

Yo dude.. Ghost II is a cruiser.. If you check out some posts in the cruiser forum, you'll see me hunting for a few specific bikes.. Just put the down payment for one.. Classic edition cruiser in pretty good condition.. Picking the bike up either this Thursday or Friday..

 

Need to skip lunch & dinner now to support my 2 babies..

 

If really cannot make it, I'll have to sell off some accessories from my Ghost I.. Hehe.. Fairings anyone?

 

 

6.5rpm:

 

Hey bro.. Just saw your add selling your fairing in the classifieds section.. How come install less than a week selling already? Is it really too big for your liking? You spent hours to get the stickers done leh.. Keep it bro, I've not seen the real thing yet.. Perhaps I can give a couple of suggestions to improve the look?

 

 

Siaoster:

 

Haha... Yup Ghost II is coming.. Hope it's not a trilogy.. Otherwise, I'll have to eat grass..

Welcome to the bunch of modding S4 riders.. Firstly, you'll be enjoying the fun & exciting process in getting your S4 done up, like the rest of us..

 

To answer some of your questions:

 

What is modding?

 

Well, it's the modifications done to your bike.. Be it cosmetic, parts or engine.. But most of us here are into cosmetic & parts.. We leave our engines stock..

 

Is it changes to external accessories?

 

Yup.. Adding stuff like fairings, belly pan, rear huggers, handlebar, handlebar protector, side mirrors, crashbar, headlight, etc..

 

Is it anything that adds performance?

 

In this aspect also.. Changing the exhaust system, jetting, dyno, etc.. Of course there is the legal way & the illegal way of doing it..

 

Or issit anything that one does other then the original specs of the bike?

 

Don't understand your question here.. Hehe... Pai seh..

 

 

Well guys & gals, it's Wednesday tomorrow.. Do check out Channel U at 8.30pm.. Got a documentary that features the nightlife at Yishun Dam.. You know what to expect..

Bro, still like small 1 more or maybe getting pro taper handlebar as my friend is selling, so need to sell off. But if u wanna let go ur fairing rem to inform me! Me intrested!

[xixy]

Hehe...

 

Okie.. Will keep you informed..

 

Should have traded my fairing for your bitubo damper...

 

[Panther]

I can answer Ben's last question.

 

Yes, it includes those things. It would be wise not to say what. But truly, any kind of modification other than what you have on your stock bike is actually "things other than the original specs of the bike". So, SiaoSter's answer is best. Everything you do that is not originally part of the bike, is a modification. Good or bad, I leave it to you to decide.

6.5rpm,

u r sellijng ur fairing? y? looks nice on ur bike. vv wasted if u let it go. i will advise u to kp as ad1da5 is already on path on his fairing to join us le. can go out together with all e modding super4 cum fairing. da wil b pretty cool as fairing is always a thing we wan for our bike. seriously i dun wish u to sell off.

 

ad1da5,

[xixy]

Wen_gege:

 

Not changing bikes bro.. Just getting a 2nd one.. I'm always fond of cruisers.. Was in fact getting a Honda Shadow when I got my class 2A but was so keen in the S4 when taking the lessons.. So now trying to realise my 2nd dream.. Anyways, my birthday is next Tueday so can use that as an excuse to buy myself a birthday present..

 

When I'm out with you guys, I'll probably ride my Spec III.. On weekends when I'm out with my mei mei, will take the cruiser..

 

This Friday I can make it at Zsa Zsa but not till too late as I'll be working Saturday morning.. What time are you thinking of Wen?

 

 

Tonight at Channel U, 8.30pm.. Don't forget fellow riders..

[Wen gege]

hi Xixy,

2nd bike? now i noe u r rich. hehe. as usual la, after my work lo. but wil b ard 1220 like da dan i will reach there. but u working morn for e nx day. duno if u guys r available.

 

jz went to check out e fairing with 6.5 rpm at ah boy side. e shop closed. wat a waste there. i think 6.5 rpm really desperate to get a fairing, therefore, he went all e way to tamp to find. wish him luck. he already taken out his side fairing ready for sell le.

 

adidas,

when u goin to install ur fairing?perhaps u and 6.5rpm can install together la but muz provided he managed to find e fairing.

 

6.5rpm,

happy hunting for ur side fairing.

 

hope they did shoot us when we passes by dam . shall cathe it

I think dirt wheels don't have already. If you are trying to get scram's shrouds, try looking for the addresses of some scram shops in the scrams' thread or this forum - slackriders.com. Then at one shot go find a few shops instead of hunting one per time.

 

Can try this design of scram shrouds. I personally think its not too big abd it fits well.

[Panther]

What, tonight? I thought it was the 27th.

[RVF_Kenny]

So the show is today or next week?

[Guest imported_Ah_Ben]

Panther & ad1da5:

xxxAhBenxxx:

 

Wow.. That's a long list that you have.. I doubt that anyone will go to that extent to do all that up.. Lots of $$, time & effort involved.. Most of us here do cosmetics.. Big borring, porting, engine mods & other mods to that aspect, I don't think we'll be up for that.. Is that right, bros?

actually, i only saving up to increase the preformance... but then... I strongly believe that if u increase power, u need to increase something else to control the power.

Maybe i am just a poor chicken whose doesnt dare to wack.

Haha!! I smell some tunnel n :huohuo:

[sabbaha]

Therefore...do we need to go for tuning..nor end can or full system? Does it affect the performance..by a bit? if the bike already tune? with or without..the tuning, is it the same?.....
