+ secondary brake lights (some top-boxes already have) ~$30 to >$80 depends on what/where fitted

+ flashing brake lights lights ~$25 to >$50 depends on where fitted

+ flashing hazard lights when apply brakes ~$25 to >$50 depends on where fitted

+ reading light for front dashboard ~$35 to >$80 depends on where fitted

bodyworks/utility:

+ side mirrors (for less vibrations or with blinkers) ~$70 to >$150 depends on type/design

+ balancers (less vibrations) ~$25 to >$60

+ bigger/wider wind shield (more comfort) ~$280 to >$400+

+ bike seat cover (comfort & design) ~$80 to >$150 depends on design/material

+ IU cover/jacket (looks only) ~$12 to $20

+ respray paintwork ~$500 to >$1K depends on colours/design

+ air-brush artwork pay for what you desire

Power la!!

Really got so many things to do, hee hee...

I was at the scooter mod shop also, waaa....he tell me SW can change exhaust whole system, add hydraulics suspension (like those rap trucks bounce up and down type) and add fibre to the front frame so it look fiercer and increased height wind shield....like as though I millionaire man...hahahahah!!

But it was cool knowing about the options.

I going down to Jln Besar to check on a seat and cushion maker and customize a back rest for the pillion on the generic box. I think I won't be doing the arm rest liao, wife says not necessary.

But the lightings and sound system...hmmm...maybe I look see look see at you guys first before I decide

Cheers!

SW9000 · June 10, 2009

Took a ride to Bukit Indah yesterday at 5.45pm.

25 mins to clear SG custom...

Went to GP town for a bike wash and hey, they got big pasar malam.

Then rode 10 mins to Bukit Indah.

For bike parking, turn into bike parking lot after the left turn at t-junction.

Got security person there to guard the bikes de.

But hor, I disc locked and cover bike. very kiasu.

This Jusco damn big lah. 3 levels of shopping with a Restaurant Street for all kinds of food. Dinner = up-sized Horney Dog meal with float.

Went for a rm85 traditional Thai massage for 1.5hrs. very nice.

Might bring wify soon cos many shops got 30%-50% Sale.

Then again, I could just visit every Thursday after work since it's so near. hehe.

ah keong is using leo vince full sustem

SW's rear shocks still ok, but front is very soft... can use more oil, or change to hyperpro spring ($230 at motoworld, but gotta wait about 2 months for shipment)

customised back rest can look for eugene, i did mine for $40 (silverish side and non-slip face), you can ask for smaller size as desired.

i like it big, firm but yet soft... sounds like errrr... whahahaha

Bro!! I like big and soft also la!!! Hee hee....

Eugene, that's right! He's the guy I am looking for. I got him to do some custom armrest cushions for me when I was holding on to the GoldWing. I think he is friendly, cool, modern (young, so have new ideas) and his workmanship is not bad.

I gotta go down soon! But after the PC Show la...I on duty...shucks...

Thank yo uvery much for your invitation! I so would love to go! But I am grounded for a while (Wifey said I used up my "leave" for the trip to Terengganu liao...) So I can probably go later in the year.

Furthermore, I think my company sending me off to Maldives for business trip, I think have to spend time with family, if not I come back my belongings outside the house ah!!

But thanks so much for the offer! I'd like to see myself joining you guys later this year

Cheers

I selling VOIP services bro, dont think its worth for you all to visit...hee hee...

Basically it allows you to make free telephone calls to selected countries if you are connected to the internet through your mobile phone, like Singapore, Malaysia, China, USA, Taiwan etc.

By the way, I was in the Cargo lift of my company when I saw some scribbling by some wise ass about famous quotes, and I thought of you.

See why...!!;p

"To be is to do" - Socrates

"To do is to be" - Plata

"To be or not to be" - Shakespeare

"Do be do be doooo" - Scooby Doo

Uploaded some pics of my old megnetto, got a fry diode. Very black with lots of soot on it..

And for those who dont know where to check the common oil leak area, check out the last picture with area i circled ! Its near the dip stick. Check with torch light. If still cant see, check the belly of the crank case for oil droplets formation. Signs of leak if there is..

hilfiger · June 11, 2009

as for synchronising the air screw, its better to understand what it is about before going K&T to do it ($40). suggest read this Air Screw Synchronisation
its a relatively easy task, but you'll need a set of vacuum gauges

Fr the last pic, looks like yr rpm is set to 1.2k? not 1.3k according to manual? jus curious....

hilfiger · June 11, 2009

And for those who dont know where to check the common oil leak area, check out the last picture with area i circled ! Its near the dip stick. Check with torch light. If still cant see, check the belly of the crank case for oil droplets formation. Signs of leak if there is..

Just the pic that i need to check....thanks alot spin37..

manual is just a guide. idling is set to the character of your bike. eg; wat performance parts u have added to your bike or the tuning of your bike.

scoobydoo · June 11, 2009

first time seeing your nick in this SWing thread... welcome

what bike are you riding... silverwing too

i've heard that using thick eo is harmful to the coil... however, no empirical evidence is available to back that up
