SBF Silverwings / HOM Cafe 2012

Looking through the respray threads in SBF, seems like Yeow Motor and Replica Spray are more reputable.

 

Anyone resprayed their SW before?

Care to share their experience and price?

Good to let your regular bike shop dismantle the fairings and also evaluate about their choice of re-spray shops.

Strongly recommended to do this way.... both Yeow and Replica are good. Price is depend on wat you spray lor, i did it at Replica cost abt $420. Price included dismantle work, spray all fairing, front suspension, side footrest and pillion handle. Ah koon spray skill is good, the dislike is.... he pass over the dismantle work to other bikeshop, when fix it back, some part is not properly fitted and my voltmeter kena stolen too Even though i got it compensated by ah koon, but is not a good experience lor. Wonder during the spray work in progress, my bike is leaving outside during night bo?

dunno about Yeow but Replica's workmanship is good... i reprayed 2 times with them (1x whole bike, 1x some parts nia). Replica is recommended by both kenny (Future) and Clifford (K&T). feedback is Ah Koon's is generous when spraying lacquer over the color paint; if lacquer too thin, we won't get the smooth glossy finish. however, thick layers of lacquer may become a problem if not properly done (e.g. spray too wet at 1 go), especially when "tearing" starts to form. common problem occurs when "excess" lacquer flows downwards due to gravity and accumulate at certain areas forming bulges or tear streaks... very ugly liow.

 

if go K&T, Ah Cheun can dismantle the parts then either you send it down yourself or they get someone to deliver (additional costs may apply).

if go Future, Ah Hwa can dismantle then bring the stuffs over (Replica is right behind Future now... )

fyi, labour for dismantling whole set of SW tupperware is around $70~$100 (depends on how kaki you are with the motortiam).

hi, anyone can point me in the right direction to buying a parts catalogue and/or service manual for sw-t? i cannot seems to find it anywhere online.

[scoobydoo]

parts catalog is available at the SW Tech Corner... go take a look.

service manual... too bad dun have.

[scoobydoo]

yo Fusionjaz, is this the $99 cam u were referring to?

saw this during the previous IT show but didn't think it is worth cos the small 260mAh batt could only last a while. but if only a while is ok, then maybe suitable for some pp. btw, it is not shockproof nor waterproof

 

for me, i prefer to get a waterproof cam (e.g. Panasonic FT2 or Olympus TG series) with better record time, better pic quality and durable. saw a display set FT2 going for only $299... very tempted

[Fusionjaz]

Yup that's the one. Did you see the sample @ HWZ? Quality not for the price

[scoobydoo]

this one probably a better buy... US$38.15 nia

batt is also small at 270mAh but kit comes with 2 batts.

Bro, do u have pictures of how the front suspension, side foot rest and pillion handle look like after spraying?

[SW9000]

Wah, 1 week neber warm-up the bike and it becomes home for the cats.

Got wee wee and lots of fur but lucky they no like to scratch the SW-T seat cover.

Must re-invent something to keep them away...

 

Battery still ok. 1-press start.
