Can arrange to fix up the crowl for varas & 60km/h soon?

I think they better get protection as soon as possible.

Hahaha no worries lah He will do it as soon as he got a replacement drill bit Your undercowl is so solid that Chan's bit also got blunted when modding mine

 

To all who have modded VVVV's undercowl >> I finally got round to reinstalling the steel undercowl last night Pasted some rubber onto the corner that is almost in contact with the fuel hoses. Hope it will help to absorb away the heat from the hoses. Stay tuned for report BTW try not to remove or install steel undercowl without support Just cracked my side brackets Must go Seng Kwang this Sat liao

[SimplyBoChap]

Noah's Ark Natural Animal Sanctuary For those who wanted to go but missed it the last time but be prepared to get ur bike very dirty

Kenny >> StrikingViking is coming to town. Hope I am still in town by then

ASAP>>Bro.....very sayang ah.......

Smicerboy > Ya lor.... very sayang. Just like u my heart also very pain seeing the bike. But I'll try my best to rebuild it. Check wif u, do u still have the stock undercowl & suspension? Do u thk u can pass them to me. I'll need the undercowl to replace the damaged one.

 

Pro Dero > Yup my name also Sahril. Almost similar w werxguy. I engaged a bike shop in JB to tow the bike back to S'pore for me costing RM$350 compared to a towing company in S'pore named Bikebulance who wants to charge me S$320 to do the job. So hope u have an idea now. PM me if u need their contacts.

[Kenny]

yeah..he shd be in hatyai today..looks like he's gg to borneo pretty soon..i think he's just passing by...

u bz wif sexercise liao...... hahaha!

 

 

bochap

 

i need to change to tourance if wanna go noah ark.....off road so happening! btw u can get discount from metz ppl rite? hehehe!

 

asap

 

wah! RM350 & $320 very $$$$ towing..... why dun u post da no. & name of da towing co. so some who dunno can use in a emergency....thanks!

[Asap]

Pro Dero > That's freaking a lot of difference. Furthermore u can get them to come down immediately to ur bike location rather than leaving ur bike alone & wait for the S'pore towing to come & pick up the bike. Save time, $ & it's safer.

 

Here's the JB bike shop ctc:

 

Hou Heng Motor Enterprise

No. 7G, Jln Tun Abdul Razak Susur 4, 80000 Johor Bahru

 

Fam Loi Hock(Ah Hou)

H/P: 016-7577686

 

P.S: They use a VAN to tow my bike. So basically they have to remove the windshield, side mirrors in order to fit in the "horse". As u guys know how big our "horses" are.

 

Tip: Another useful tip is if ur bike breaks down at Tuas 2nd Link BEFORE Malaysian customs, can still get AA to tow back ur bike costing S$30+ only. But if beyond Malaysian customs, no way AA can go in.

[SimplyBoChap]

Prodero >> No need to change tyres D last time some busas and blackbirds went in too

 

Asap >> I tot steel undercowl no damages As for the 2 bent supporting brackets Only need to take a hammer and start whacking IMHO VVVV brand of undercowl offers much better protection than Honda's

[Kenny]

hahah..yeah..i remember my first trip had a K1 off roading and pulling wheelies whenever we were on tarmac....though he vowed never to try that again...kekek

No they got JR to offer me a great price. The offer is extended to me only Anyway agreement is to not suppose to post the price lah.

[SimplyBoChap]

Just checked my mail He is currently in Kuching How d hell did he get there from Sadao? He is asking about vehicle ferry from Sing to Batam. Can anybody help?

Only doing my part in trying to help a fellow biker living out OUR DREAM.

think he's just passing by...

No lah i think he needs to service bike at local BMW distributor PML

From his website

Despite heavy use of the clutch off-roading, the transmission still shifts smoothly but occasionally slips into neutral at stoplights. This is a warranty item to be addressed in Singapore but for now, it’s annoying in traffic. For better off-road use, a lower first gear would save the trouble of requiring sprocket-swapping and hopefully BMW engineers will someday switch to a lighter aluminum swing-arm.

Good luck to him with PML

 

Trying hard to steer him to M-Technik.
