if can i put 2 or more jelly can..

the problem is singapore side will catch u and fine $500 for 1 jelly can...

transportation cost cut but pocket big hole..

I think africa twin aftermarket tank can carry abt 40L... how I wish our tank also can...

Change side box to JLeo type, convert one of them to tank.

 

I think AT is 43L tank, there are 2 or 3 in singapore.

i wonder how a diversion would look like with such a big tank. From front, can see the tank wider than the head.

get one for everyday use and one for your touring...

most of us did tat...

 

I though u r getting e Rjays?

I looked at the Rjay, nice, but there is no overlap for the zip, water might seep through. I went to Chong Aik look at the GRP, also nice. There is overlap for zip better price. Dun noe which is good. :confused: :sian:

mctan,

 

is that nolan flip up helmet u targeting for ur day to day use or for touring???? Custom mention that it's advisable to get 1 for each purpose right... If it's for touring, i think u should choose 1 that can't flip up. Us bikers when we ride dun really get a chance to lift it up and talk mah. My frens also commented that the flip will open upon heavy impact. U might wanna consider again.

[nickyeow]

Anyway I still saving up for the helmet and jacket. Burn a big hole in my pocket for the divvy so must "lun" for awhile first. Will carry on checking out the model and prices for different various brands. I'll post any findings I have over the forum so that u can use it as reference lor. Good idea???

True saying bro! All the divvy bros really take care of their bikes, inside and outside too... Touring? They are also one of the most regular touring bike groups here... U will be in for a wonderful time.......

That's great but I dun think i qualify to join u guys yet. Must know my bike inside out first. Handling, control and details of the bike otherwise not really confident of bringing it out to join u guys. Dun wanna be a hassle to anyone.

to know ur bike inside out is to test it's limit.

suggest u go for short trip, a slow one to know how she behave.

In sg, u can only test how tame she is... only when u go for tour, than u know how evil she can become...

 

by custom.... hahahaha

A reason why I choose flip up, bcos my head is big. I have difficulty putting in ff helmet. :weep: A flip one is easier for me.

mc,

 

i have the same problem too. my head too damn big. what size u wearing??? for normal helmet, i need at least XL and for a full face i think i need at least 1 size or 2 size bigger otherwise cannot fit at all.

 

still, i dun believe there's no helmet suited for us. just carry on looking lor. seriously i really dun mind paying more for a good touring helmet. only thing is that have to "lun" abit longer lor.

somehow i feel we are very alike. whatever problems u face, i "kena" too.

really very funny. well x2 for me too. maybe we should save up and goto shop and buy together. like that can bend the price more.

 

bend until the shop owner shout "tor long"

abt 230km/h on my new TP handle bar but take abt 5 mins to hit this speed.

w new handle bar and heavier balancers it helps in damping of vibration alots.

 

Not to worry, normal speed we go is abt 120-140km/h.

Only 2-3 bikes r speed demons... 1 silver, 1 blue...

Hello Nickyeow,

 

Welcome to the club! I bought my bike from New Southern too...i got the blue one for quite ex....more ex than yours...some more second hand....i know i kena "chopped" many pieces...but come to think of it now...i never regret it one bit! It's really a good bike! :thumb:

 

Take your time to explore and enjoy the ride that this baby can bring you!

 

Be safe always!

 

Cheers

[Swift]

So far i have only tried up to 200km/hr on my baby...like what custom shared...there is one silver and one blue speed demon lurking ard our expressways...occasionally they will scorced the NS highway...hehehe

[Swift]

Why dun you try HRC helmets? They are not bad...i bought two from Motoworld...one is flipup FF and the other is FF. Both i got it at $180.

 

I got my riding jacket from there too...Komine mesh with paddings all around...$180 too.

 

Only my gloves i got them from Chiap Lee...Clover Gloves...i think i paid $120 for them...

 

My few cents worth....

Yah man, with my head, bike CG will be higher by few inches. Conering, the head will kana the ground first.

 

It depend on the cutting of the helmet as well. When I try the FF flip up, XL ok. FF w/o flip up, having problem squess my head in. Worry, go in, can't come out. :help:

Best is find one same as my avator
