4 - 8 weeks is a standard lead time for shipment.

I will give them 1 month to consolidate their orders and 2 months for the shipment to come in. So the earliest is 3 months.

I've ever ordered the divvy front mudguard extender from them and waited 6 months! In the end, got so fed up that I went down twice before managing to get my full payment back!

 

Now it's a when it comes to patronising them.

Hi guys,

think of this.....

1. we order one sheet of Arcylics,

2. machine to our divvy headlight size,

3. laser mark our nick n lic plate on the protector,

 

we have a batch of custom divvy headlight protector..

 

If everyone wanted this way(as I'll be making 1 for myself if there is enough ppl), we can cut cost also.

This project will only come to life

1. if there is enough ppl => how many depend on the cost of the arcylics.

2. after the durain trip as I'll be oversea

 

Euro,

any idea the thickness of the protector?

I'm hoping to get around $20+ per pcs.

 

PS: our headlight cost only S$150... so do u wan to waste $50+ just to protect a $150 parts?

Hi bro,

Since wanna DIY, let me add in some more " salt and oil" to make it more tasty.

- One piece of 2mm clear arcylics 4 feet x 8 feets (1.2m x 2.4m) is around $50-$80.

1.2m x 2.4m is more than enough for 20 protectors.

- One PVC cutter with additional cutting blades - around $10.

Arcylisc does not need to machine, use cutter can liao. Draw the shape of the light and slowly cut it out. After cut out, use sand paper sand sand abit... sui sui. If wan more "sui", polish...

 

But diversion head light is abit curve/bubble/round shape, so if wan more"beautiful". Need to find some skillful people to use a burner to heat up the arcylic and bend it.

 

As for lazer mark..... you should know better lah

Hi Cougar,

 

sorry for the late reply, I'm not the taxi driver that Mah motor told you. Anyway, I bought it from Casper, sliver colour. Thinking of respray to white also, but not at the moment. Still like the original colour.

 

Hi everyone,

 

as I'm driving taxi at night n will be sleeping on day time, so I won't be always on the forum n will reply abit late. Anything can give me a call on my hp 9644 1911.

 

for the meet up on 30 June, I'll try to be there coz I miss the KTM as on that moment I was at Changi airport queuing. Hope to c u guys, to get to know all of you.

Have an idea,

Use a normal helmet clear visor, and testing first....

Mctan,

 

I think it is a good idea tat we use the helmet visor first and we go for those helmet visor tat are nt really curvy than MFizz, GPR and MHR.. We can try using Zeus helmet visor as the curve is nt that sharp. Once we can be done with it den we can save alot2 more money as the visor oni cost ard S$8 frm LAB. oni need to cut to its shape.

 

If we were to buy the visor in bulk, den LAB will sure give us good rate for it... maybe can ask for S$5 for MO. But one helmet visor oni can use for one headlight...

 

This is a good idea in saving $$$ bro... Wat we can DIY den we DIY... More brains contribution will give the best results..

 

Furthermore we no need to use burner to bend the plastic as it is already semi bend and tats why we have to look for those helmet visor that rae not tat sharp so as to fit the headlight. If it is abit too curvy den we can use the burner...

 

Anyone wanna gif it a try first...? Quality of the visor is nt tat important as long as it can prevent stones frm hitting it, ok liao...!

 

Save $$$$$

Hi guys,

 

At last i recieved a reply frm powerbronze on the flip up w/shield. The dimension is...

 

Width: 535mm

Length : 440mm

 

I make enquiry to them on wat is the cost of the w/shield if i were to order frm them plus the shipping cost and now waiting for another reply...

Hope the lenght of the shield is good for my height as it is nt tat high as skidmarx and not tat lower than GIVI..

 

I also ask them is there any differences of prices if it is other than a clear wan.

 

Still waiting for the reply...

Ok... I had tried using a used THH helmet visor for testing last night...

 

1. Got to use heat to make the visor flat.. because visor is in semi-circle shape, not suitable for diversion headlight...

2. visor is much bigger than diversion headlight, so able to cover.

 

3. Next going to get the PVC cutter tomorroe and cut the shape out.... hopefully can work...

4. Think of some method to paste the "protector" on the headlight...

Hi mctan,

Sticking the visor on the headlight is 'no big deal' -you can get those 3m plastic velcro sticker excately as the 'P-plate' velcro sticker, at any hardware or DIY shops...

actually I have done this before using the helmet visor as headlight protecter it is a kind of tricky...must have the paitience and time.

 

Let give our 'uncle' a try, bending the arcylic is not so easy and doing it flawless, is another story-I don't mind giving him a try!

Hi guys,

I had tried to DIY a protector using a visor, attach picture show the result.

 

Steps

1. Use a normal clear visor.

2. Mark out the shape of the head light on the visor.

3. Use the branches/wire cutter (did not use PVC cutter, cos can't find) to cut the visor.

4. Use semi-round and flat file to smooth the edges.

5. Stove/burner to heat and flaten the "protector"

 

Total material cost- visor $8

Tools - from office

Time taken - About 3hours

Effort - Alot

 

Comments:

Very time consuming. If you have time and tools, DIY is good. But alot of strenght is needed to cut the visor.

If not, buy from bikeshop.

My Divvy is out and already rode it for about a few days.Notice that my front brakes is something wrong.Braking seems to be jerky....very poor response.Is there a flaw in the front brakes design? or is it my brake pads?

(Just don't want to get conned by bike shops)

 

Divvy experts out there,i seek ur advice....Thank you.
