[dakar]

Good Day Guyzzzz....

 

Aikon my suggestion is to change your entire socket just as Simon says..if u try to slot in some metal things...it might work but another thing is u have to becareful not to trip ur fuse coz by adding something that is pertruding out with no EARTHING is dangerous... What i mean by quantity is the mechanic can quote us the price if we order 1 or 2 pcs...but if we order alot...then can get cheaper...by the way....QUALITY TYPE===ORIGINAL HONDA VARA AIR FILTER

indy,

wat is the initial clearance fr the handle to the windscreen??

cos my clearance now is very little, think mayb abt 3mm.....

Well before the installation of the hand guards, i had approximately 1cm from the windscreen and the handlebar. Let the mech see what he can do for you...maybe re-adjust your handle baar by by moving it forward or maybe even shifting the certain things (brake reservoir and the like) on your handle bar. The reason why i think you only have so little cleareance could be due to your aftermarket handlebar and windscreen. One more thing is the mech could also tilt the hand guards.

Wildi > You paid $150 for your acerbis handguards? Does it include installation?

 

Hows the weather protection with those guards? I'm thinking of installing them on my bike

[visual]

ordering air filter from uk.. if its a MASS... (8-10) then i htink its worth.. as we can share shipping + gst + handling charges..by 8

and i think davidsilverspares can give a discount if we order more..

 

but ofcourse installation is always the problem...like the crash bar...for the initial installation...

so any back up plans? any knows a bike shop we can go to to ask them install it?

[Pro Dero]

dakar earthing is vital for da bike circuit...yups yups if not da bike die die...hehe!

 

so insolate da contact points b4 screwing da bulb in...

 

aikon ya bike is cool oredi....make sure ya go touring on 16th jan...

 

aik my name kena delete for air filter ke...? hehe!

Hey Neo dude...Nice seeing you here I paid a $150 for the handguard which included installation. But it also included rebleeding my front brakes. I reckon you could get it cheaper still. The total original price was $155 with installation ($120 Rally Pro handguard/$35 spoiler).

 

As for weather protection it is only 50/50. It doesn't cover the entire hand, the top part especially, unlike the GS versions and the like. It is a hefty price to pay for this. My recommendations on this is mixed.

 

Anyways i'll tell you more when i see you this saturday. I can even show you the advantages and the pitfalls of my handguard.

 

By the way i hope you get your headlight fixed up. Can't wait to see what it is gonna look like. Man, your Monster is turning into a MONSTER and now maybe with hand guards even...hahaha

[Guest simone]

man the dukes are real monsters i just love the look and the exhaust tone.

Yah. Just make sure you don't travel diagonally behind Neo's Monster... His monster will pick up a fist size rock from the road and throw at you one...

Like that time hor, Neo?

[Guest simone]

ahah nice to see u around jimmy still on "holiday break" tc man hope to see u soon

[visual]

On the topic of grounding.... some one told me.. if we clip the engine block.. (metal part) to the ground of the battery...that will int he long term solve lots of problem / remove lots of static, make the engine live longer.. bla bla bla...

 

anyone.. who Actually KNOW about this stuff? And has this done on their bike?

[Guest nE0]

Alas, thats gonna have to wait till the weekend, cos I really have no time to do it right now.

 

As for stones, well... Thats what you get from an open bike with a fender so small!

I think motoworld and Ah boy, got a few kinds of saddlebags to choose from.

I remember i saw one at motoworld, where it's made of m/cycle jacket material, so i presume it's water proof. Anyway check it out....

 

Aikon, ur bike looked
