silent hunter let me know if you wanna buy the exhaust wrap. are you getting the dei one?

 

i've watched on youtube that it's best to get the dei high temperate silicone spray as well after securing with the steel clamps.

 

 

Hey guys, i'm thinking of getting the exhaust wrap too! So dat makes the 3 of us.. Can buy a roll already liao.

How??

[Silent Hunter]

I go see what they have first. Buying black one if they have.

[jhengh]

thanks silent hunter

[jevan]

whats the market price for black hi temp spray paint? does it come in matt black? or glossy only?

[kmjoe]

less than $9 bah... usually matt black or gray

[Silent Hunter]

Bought a can couple of years back. Cheapest I could find back then was $8 per can, some places sell $10.

Going to buy heat warp tomorrow. Place for the big $110 roll is autobacs at Ubi right?

[Silent Hunter]

I got the heat wrap, but it's champange gold in colour, because the black one no stock.

Last roll too. The other rolls are ridiculously small.

[madevo]

Campagne gold? woah.. Dats a unique colour for a heat wrap..

How much you got it for? and how to share2 uh?

It's Champange gold now, but the colour will fade later to beage.

Like my Black heat wrap, Black later fade into light gray.

 

Price was $95.

2"X50' I assume it's 2 inches X 50 Feet.

I will need quite a fair bit if I am going to wrap the whole exhaust (Both header and end cam)

I estimate it will take 20-30 feet.

 

We can do a test to see how much wrap it will take to wrap the phantom exhaust first then decide how to share.

I also checked the DEI brand heat resisitant spray paint it's a whooping $25!

 

Forgot to add my hp is 9049 2378

thanks Silent Hunter. wa the heat spray paint so ex ah. i go buy the normal $9 can liao ah haha.

[Silent Hunter]

Turtle.... say want to share want to buy, I buy already, all disappear.

3 days already nothing heard.

 

The whole roll still with me never even opened.

[weiqiang]

anyone wants to share the exp of having a higher handle bar? any pros and cons? the stock handle bar give me back aches after prolong riding sia. was thinking maybe a higher one will allow my back to lean slightly backwards so wont arch so much. oh ya also where u all did it and how much it cost?

hey...im using a higher bar...its almost like a ape hanger but its a bit lower. called 'bangers' i guess...anyways, the feel is quite nice and very easy to control. splitting traffic is marvelous as the handle bars will go over car side mirror..haha..i got it from ah koon for 120 including all the cables that needs to be changed.

A higher handlebar will make you lean forward more.

You need a handlebar that has more pullback to bring the grips nearer to your body and allow you to have a straighter posture.

 

A beach bar might be what you need (similar to Honda Shadow handlebars)

[CSV]

ah koon has what you need.

 

and yeah, you probably need a bar with enough pullback for you to sit comfortably. that means the bar will be moved towards you instead of away from you.

[devil.L]

A handlebar with more pull back but barend remains wld only strain your wrist.

For a handlebar with more pull back, you'd need one that also has a wider barend.

(pull back from control, not from center to center of mounting area)

 

What you need is smthg that is longer (higher) & mount it tilted more towards yourself.

Not so much on the pull back.

All talking cock.... .... I go down buy the last roll already and reply 4 days back.

 

Once hear the price of the DEI wrap was $95 all beome silent....

Don't forget, I am the Silent Hunter, want me to go hunt you all down ah?

 

I still got the whole roll not opened yet, if by Sunday still no reply, I am going to sell it on garage sales already.

[CSV]

wah, Silent, suay leh. at first they all very enthu one leh. hahaha. i think you can just sell off in garage sale.

 

well @devil.L,

 

after seeing your new ride(which i wont expose here), i'm tempted to mod again.

 

but my main issue is my posture when riding, i slouch alot. i was thinking if i change to the short risers with the stock handlebar angled forward abit, it would help my posture and i get to ride in quite a nice posture. you know the kind when you sit straight and your arms are straight out? either that, or i have to get mini apes. haiz.....poisoned by the modding bug.

[jevan]

the sudden craze abt handlebars. make me think of changing mine too. considering the bangers or beach bars. definitely not ape.
