What are you getting for your bike this Holiday?

[isaac chan]

i think the reason you can't clean it is because the petrol has gone thru the laquer and onto the metal. So there is nothing you can do other than respraying it ...

[chong chong]

Hey, maybe we should continue this thread with "What are you getting yourself and love ones this holiday!" Bike is important but so are our love ones!

 

Actually for me, I dont believe in buying things when others are buying like holiday seasons. Yes the discounts are great but will be greater after CNY. That is the reason why I do my shopping at "off peak" seasons. Crowds will be lesser and service better as they are more desperate for sales.

 

This year, I bought myself 2 watches, a pen and tons of shirts!

Even then, it's not going to arrive by Christmas, if I order now

Ordered a linkage plate and a jiffy extension for my bike. Won't be here by Christmas as usual. Thankfully I can do without them for now.

Hi guys! Thanks to David from Universal Motor, my christmas present is a Shadow 400. Can't wait to go cruising with you guys. So I guess it's not what I'm getting for my bike this holiday but rather what my bike got for me this holiday. Sure bliss!

Spring lock mechanism. Once you depress the lever, the spring locks

the throttle so your speed stays constant. Lift the lever to release spring

lock and the throttle is free again.

 

Cheers.

Should the pics be too dark, just increase the lighting on your pc.

[plasticblackspecs]

Ya. Lighting bad man. PC up max also still dark. I tot "Fat Boy" was "Fist Boy" and I though "I didn't know you were into that kinda stuff" LOL! But it looks sweet man. Everyday polish the Jiffy?

[One Headlight]

Wow. Even in the dark, it still looks great.

 

Ive had some parts chromed last week too.

I should be getting them tomorrow.

Front and rear mags, lower front forks, side stand and brake rotor.

 

Can't wait to put them back on and ride.

 

Cheers.

[gohjohan]

Thanks for the comments

 

I dunno about polishing the stand everyday, but I'll brighten the linkage pic tonight and re-upload it.
