Greetings TDM Bros n Sis,

 

Got headache choosing CL2 bike lah. So many choices. All so good. TDM9 had always been at the back of my mind but haf not really started actively looking for it. Seems like it's a 'rare' bike, so don't think I can find a second hand one easily. Hope the bros and sis here can me help look out a 2nd hand one. Thanks.

 

There's one light blue colour at Powerwheels. Its at Tampiness Industrial Park. Behind Safra. Good Luck.

anyways guys,this is a sketch from 1 of the Carpedian's son.

 

 

http://i601.photobucket.com/albums/tt92/prwatts/TDM900WR.jpg

 

When i saw this picture...something just pops up...

 

anyways,here's the story.

 

I did a late evening run yesterday on my AT.

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday568.jpg

 

I had some trouble on the soft sand.The last time,with the TDM,this soft sand not much of a trouble with the handling...Except the bumpy course.

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday580.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday581.jpg

I did some of the same route the last time i did on the TDM with almost the same setup...same rear Michelin Anakee,only difference is the front i was using Michelin Sirac on the TDM and Anakee on the AT.same side panniers used.

 

The AT is way much heavier and somehow,not torquey enuff unlike the TDM.Except that the ground clearance and the suspension on the AT is way much better without much bouncing around like the TDM.

 

Although i must say that the AT looks stunningly on the wild.

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday575.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday586.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday592.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday608.jpg

http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s261/khamizAJ/misctoday619.jpg

 

 

So...today,i was doing some thinking...I just have the thought of selling the TDM while giving some excuse to trade it for more adv looking bike and more realistic off-road trailies like the Vara1k FI,or if I am digging my own grave early,a BMfookingW GS.

 

But somehow,i got back down to Earth and points out the simple and easy maintainance TDM.

I have been testing the TDM for quite awhile on all terrain and every way that those expensive looking adv bikes can do.And all the while,it has positive outputs...cept,suspension.

 

Now,the question here...Should i take some time and commitments to fully mod the TDM?the engine is superb.torque,light weight machine,which is the very best for off-roading.

 

The mod's could be pricey.

What i had in mind,the whole front end gotta go.I need those of an AT front end,and the whole front fairings gotta go to.I have some ideas on fibreglass the front fairings.The crashbar won't be needed.

The rear shock lowering linkage and shock needs to be replaced.or,rework.

Mainstand wont be able to support the bike when it's already have better ground clearance.

I need to get a taller sidestand.

The rider footrest got to be replaced.If i can find ways,the whole 1 piece rider and pillion footrest piece got to go to be fitted by simple rider's wider footpeg and simple pillion pegs.

The exhaust,shall be done high mount.The battery and electrical compartment needs to be rework for better protection against water and dirt.

 

This is what i have in mind.Cost of project is unknown.

 

So,any feedbacks?

same same...i want to run it at the sides too ala those dakar rally bikes...then if you can get an AT bashplate,would be sweet...

 

Ok.think like i am keeping the TDM again afterall...the mods will slowly began once i have settle some stuffs on my AT and XR.the XR has got the sumo wheelset...but i am too lazy to do anythg to it.

JB pipe welding wont be impressive...those metals are craps...stainless steel the best.I dunno anywhere else besides Sengkwang....

haha.. great minds think alike... really want to do the side headers.. the best is 2-1 header right from the block, the single header all the way till the end can, makes positioning a lot easier, but need to get the correct measurement, if not going to get ur leg fried everytime u ride the bike... :p

but sengkwang going to cost a bomb... i shall keep searching...
