Hihi. Just bought my phantom few weeks ago. I love it!!!. As I suspected, a relax ride. Just a question, is it possible to find a chrome gearbox cover??? If yes where can I buy it?? There are some minor rust here and there, if possible I would like to noe where to get chrome gear/brake lever, sissy bar etc. Many thks for those who can help me. Cheers

ohh btw, just went to motoworld and look at some of the saddlebags while looking for another new FF helmet. Managed to find 1 saddle bag Komine SA 206 that can fit 1 FF helmet when extend to full capacity. Any of u guys fitted ur phantom with that saddlebag?? It looks great to me. Maybe will buy it next payday.

how much was the saddlebag u saw? thinking of getting one too =)

[barbaricboon]

The sale guy quoted me ard $220 for Komine SA-206. Just managed to browse 1 of the topic in sgbikes regarding saddlebags...Looks like Komine SA-206 cannot be LOCKED!!!!! OMG.....think I need to go down to motoworld and take a 2nd look.

Saddlebags can also be easily cut. Not a good choice if the intention is for security of your helmet.

To get chrome gearbox / engine cover you need to send your part down for electroplating (the workshop's name is Star Electroplating if I'm not wrong). I was quoted $400 for a full chrome package that took about 2 weeks to complete (lots of small parts), and this resulted in...

 

[BlackDawn]

You sent those original plastic parts for re-chroming? With all due respect, that sounds like BS to me.

Plastic can't be chrome plated.

 

Simple photography of light reflection in plastic chrome. Any clean Phantom can do that.

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Everything is BS from the wrong perspective.

 

Cheers mate!

[BlackDawn]

Some are BS through and through in any perspective.

Cheers indeed.

Have you seen the bike? Nope

 

Has other PKs seen the bike? Yes. Your PK colleagues are the ones who encouraged me to share the 'good stuff', which doesn't just include engine covers.

 

If you want to ruin the discussions before they even start, go to the sections of SBF famous for flame wars.

[BlackDawn]

Sensitive, aren't we. Perhaps I started off on the wrong foot.

I've seen the part of your bike that is relevant to this discussion as posted in this thread above.

 

I find it odd that your plastic bits shine more than your engine covers. So are your engine covers chromed?

 

Plastic can't be chrome plated and your plastic bits look stock, with the stock shine in light.

this was my old phantom..

 

just manual polish job..

[BlackDawn]

Clean your bike, and take a picture under bright lights. It will look the same.

[roxs]

Probably have to call a tow truck in the morning

 

any reasons or solutions to this problem? is it a common problem?

[ezzyoiler]

better still get new ignition lock and replace..

 

or hot wire your bike...and ride to repair shop.
