[DIY] How to cosmetically modify the Phantom?

[pureice68]

Icic, okie! I'll see if they have any off the shell decal that suit your theme!

Lol it becomes so tempting to arrange an 'escape from TPY' with my camera on the whole way

Went there for recce and noticed the service was pretty poor. I can stand around staring at the decals and their equipment while the staff and owner made a good effort to pretend not to notice me and my bike parked outside in the rain. There were no customers besides 2 bikes in the shop waiting for the rain to stop.

 

However I did manage to record myself riding 90kph in the rain Not very slippery in straight lines as Metzeler tyres seem to be treaded for this. Just watch the low speed corners..

Weather forecast @ NEA - 3-6 pm cloudy @ Queenstown.

 

It was threatening to rain around lunchtime but Pureice Rain Dance ™ shooed it away I think.

tried standard straight handle bar liao, super hard to drive. end up get a wide handle bar from LAB last night and boy it felt so strange..... suddenly like riding a whole new bike. and i think its the same bar as armani helped his friend installed. its 1 or half inch longer than usual wide handle bar on market.

 

im juz amazed the handle bar has no vibrations at all when engine on. previous handle stock bar, vibrate like after 30 minutes ride will get numb abit. this one relax and no vibrations. great modification. but starting cant get used to its stance and handlings as it felt like riding a whole new bike. keke. the only regret.... its chromed and not painted red b4 installation.

I tried a straight low bared Phantom and it seemed okay to me, like a cafe racer type of posture.

 

I agree that the wide bars make it super comfortabe to ride. I tried Bikee's the other day and it was fantastic....

 

But I like my stock + windshield + intake mod = omgwtfbbq phantom racing best.

Ya, it'll feel strange and scary at first, but after getting use to it, you will not go back to stock or straight ones! RED!!! Dun lah! Hahaha...

The joys of resonant frequency. I tied a few strings for vibration meter

 

Useful for engine testing. And oh, something else to stare at other than my cat pillow drawing :3

Did a mini bike seminar/makan today with a CBR150 dude from our Bollywood outing days; later we raided an art supply depot for some materials at my fascination with painted tyres.

 

We didn't manage to find the infamous Sakura brand glow in the dark paint markers.

 

However we managed to do some post-apocalyptic goth/punk stuff including simple 'nose art', scarlet fur grip and of course showing off the infamous 95kph in rain Lasertec.

 

Oh, and a rose.

 

Victorian Love Letters theme *blush*

Next month's objective is to work on photoshop + spraypaint + stenciled wordings, after cleaning up the windshield with vinegar.

Hahaha bro, kinky! Do they sell whips & handcuffs too?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

There may be some S&M themed shops at Orchard Road (Heeren?) but I haven't thought to add chromed spikes (can CMO at $40) to the front fender and of course, I don't have a top box on the rack so whips, chains and ropes can be coiled around it :3

 

Customisation has never been this interesting.
