Bike Box --> Where to get?

[Guest 63StreetFighter]

It's not as confusing as it looks. Instructions look totally different in writing. Easier to tell instructions by mouth. So if anyone understand where my instructions lead to, kindly explain it to our dear fren lit over here.

hey! it's ok.. think i kinda know ardy... ask my fren about it, she was like so sure where is it.... so maybe next time she could bring me there....

thanks anyway!

[Guest 63StreetFighter]

No problem, Glad that u finally know where I meant. Good luck and hope u got hte best deal over there.

There are a lot of shops selling boxes in JB.... U can try the whole row of shophouses where there are a lot of bapok.

 

Bro, do they sell sideboxes there? The last I recall, only back box. Would be much cheaper to do it across the Causeway.

[tempest]

I saw a pair of sideboxes on an unknown enduror that looks like a briefcase. Its slim (maybe about 20cm thick) and looks solid. Would be lovely to have them on without compromising on bike's width. Any bros here know what am talking about?

Hey guys. Just thought I'd drop my 2 cents' worth. Just went to Chiap Lee looking for small side boxes for my TA 200. The guy asked for $200 and I bargained down to $180. Also went to LAB and he quoted me $180 no further reduction. Think Chiap Lee more reliable. Had some bad experiences with the stuff from Ah Boy before. Seriously tempted to buy coz I don't think choppers look good with rear boxes. Sure, more convenient but all depends on what you want. Anyway, Jade, about your S4 boxes ... saw this lady a coupla times on a blue S4 with these big-ass side boxes. Think they were those Fango ones. Can fit in a fullface helmet on each side. Matching blue with her bike. Looked pretty cool. Anyway, just thought you guys might be interested. At any rate I think side boxes look better than rear boxes any day.

Peace!

Agreed, LAB workshop doesn't quite make me feel good about their workmanship. At times, too crude and far too often, they try to do as much as possible in a very short time. Don't blame them for they have too many customers. Guess you want it cheap, that's the price you pay. By the way, what box did you buy bro? He does sells sideboxes for $120 but of course, not the Givi kind.

 

I think maybe those huge boxes you are talking about may also come from Kappa. Massive 40 something litre boxes (each). Don't know the price though. But I think it really takes up too much face to enable you to still weave through cars.

For side panniers, any givi or nofango will do. the problem is only the brackets. The orginal brackets that ships with the box are not design for certain particular model of bikes. For that I will recommend you go to Seng Kuang for a quote on the brackets. Custom made and more regid and will not rust. price rande from $150 to $300+.

i wan to get a silver givi box, shield and engine guard for my vtec2, anyone can recommend me any shops offering good price?

[Guest Screwball]

Those big side boxes aren't cheap. Easily cost you $500 and above. Sigh...I want looks, I want it practical, I want to be able to store a helmet in it and I want it cheap. Damn ... might as well get a car in the first place.

[jianz]

where can i get saddle bags?? how much do they usually cost and are they waterproof??

[Guest Dee Kay]

Hey Jayzee.

 

I've been down this road of contemplation 2!! One of the S4 riders tongeh had got a nice setup-but really pricy!! I think we have no choice but to stick with rear boxes if you wanna get around fast in Singapore.

 

Unless you can find nice semi-soft panniers that hold their shape even when its not filled up and look good, gimme a tinker. I would be interested 2!! The soft type panniers are prob good for touring only. And there's always the water-proofing....
