Hey, you still thinking of a GS eventually??? If so, put the money aside leh, and forget about the intermediaries and go for the real thing. End up saving more money and getting that ride earlier. See how much I've blown on the last change, not healthy for ze pocket man!! But at least somebody's happy http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/boozer.gif

Hey Cyclops, here is the link for the modular helmets review:

 

Have a donut

Link???? http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/puzzled.gif

 

The C2 is surprisingly light for a Schubert. Had a System 4 once, but found it too clumsy. Pass it to someone and it saved his coconut when he took a tumble during our last trip to Kuantan. From the damage on the helmet, his chin, nose and cheek were saved. The chin bar remained in place and the visor remained intact though badly scratched. Tried and tested, double http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/cooltu.gifhttp://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/cooltu.gif

 

Does it also comes with a supply of donuts?? I like my with extra Rainbow bits.... hek hek hek hek....

Wow, 4 lamps = double Baja = sut sut no smile man!!! http://www.ukgser.com/forums/images/smilies/clap.gif

But I think the problem might be with the lamp housing, unless you don't mind having the lamps exposed, else you'll need to have a fairing custom build for them...$$$$ man.

 

Sure, no problem. What I was describing to you the other day is called etching. Basically its letting acid eats away the unprotected material, like copper, while the pattern that you want preserved is being protected by a barrier. This barrier can be a tape, sprayed on coating or a photosensitive coating. The last one gives good result with sharp edges. The metal will come coated with the photosensitive layer, you place pattern over it, exposed it to UV, developed it, put it in the acid bath and let the acid do its job. I used to get my material from Sim Lim tower but that was quite a while ago. New processes might already be avail. Do you know any electrical/electronic students?? They should be most up to date.

Come on, who are we kidding..... how many SUV get to see mud under their tires. The GS of most people will spend almost all their life on tarmac anyway. But its good to know that should it ever occur, when good road runs out, that you need to take it into the rough, the bike can still survive and brings you home...... http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/bandit.gif. And when good roads get rough, the throttle can still be kept open for that blast http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/ricky.gif Its a 'feel good' thingie, more than anything else...

 

Mine is Yellow, FZ plate. Single seat with top box occupying pax seat position. In 2 weeks time, probably, hopefully, can get 2 yellow tinted Hella flood attached to the engine guard.

 

Thats right! Koma's GS will be one MEAN Machine!! http://www.advrider.com/forums/images/smilies/sprite10.gif

Whoa..looks like u guys had a blast AFTER I left eh?

Bloody hell, all the GS-es lined up there, how not to get poisoned, man..

 

Hey, SDR remember u told us abt ur mech bending a piece of plastic from an RT?

Look at the pic attached, is this the piece? I dismantled my fairing today, the whole thing, left right & bottom.

gabes u wan flip up get a shoei synchrotec~~!! me n gs1200 using it comfirm better than nolan(dun flame me on tis k ) but the price almost can buy 2 nolan liao. yah saw the shoei helmet cassen was using ydae, model is shoei hornet (cost 500plus), cheaper n nicer looking than arai tourxcorss(cost 600plus). some more got the white colour i want where at chiap lee they tell me muz order wait 2-3mths to come in. so wan 2 get 2gether~??? anyone got at arts here, need someone to sketch a outlook of my vfr headlight or whole sai tao(head cowling) with the gs1150 pumped up with viagra ultra big n wide big beak n with side fairings like in the touratech desireto raylle kit covering the sides of the front n sides of the fuel tank

Wah, this thread goes up faster than stock mkt leh

 

Yep, I like the Syncrotec very much as its got pretty good weight distribution without feeling any drag on the front or back. Fitting is pretty comfortable for me.

 

Another thing abt the Shoei is the small shell size which makes it easy to keep in the panniers with space left for other things. Lastly...I tink i have a Shoei head leh, last time used to have an Arai but dont feel as comfortable

 

Hey Koma, tink u oredi ki siao liao Tink yr GS will turn out to be another Frankenstein GS like Danny's But who cares.... its one hell of a makeover

Yep, agree totally with Cyclops The reasons y we ride GS is not bcos we r dirt road fans. It is the 'jus in case' thing. Another thing is the high ground clearance of such bikes and the long travel suspension which is more capable of soaking up potholes

Hey dude, how s abt my fren's DR650... chio right

 

He is a super lao jiao who had raced superbikes in US n dirt track during his younger days Despite his vast experience, he is a very humble guy who luvs to share his ideas and also likes to mod his bikes to have a unique look

 

How, wanna buy one

 

Let you in on my new plan... I wil refrain from spending any more $ for the time being n wait for the GSA12 to come out. Then I will c wat I can use from the GSA12 on my bike Its something like wat the GS1150 is currently adopting from the GSA I m hoping very much for the alu panniers used on the GSA man

Yo ashenZ, want off road, try this one for size, lighter...
