so this the "legendary" rhino tyres which been going around...

 

seems useful if going for touring wor... but like many said once change tyre gotta reapply the application.

 

yup... legendary... hahaha...

anyway, this looks good for ppl like me who are the friends of nails...

last weekend, my new tire tio the 1st nail frn liao... sibei sian...

i'm not eligible for this rhino liao cus they only recommend new or used tires without repaired marks...

[dolf]

What is the more recommended security system at the moment arh? I mean u guys most commonly used one now. Thinking of installing it just to chase away some unwanted attention. Hehe....

 

..ya man,bike cover got stolen last week.was a really good $30 one from Ah boy.

bro, did you buy a bottle of spray can to spray your bike number plate on your bike cover?

usually those sprayed covers, ppl tend not to steal them away...

unless yours is those super nice look ones e.g camo types lo...

[pichudot]

i wonder any bros have any trip plans for the upcoming Christmas, 25th - 27th? :D

[E.M.F]

Sorry to hear that. When i got my new shiny canvas....i normally heart pain pain disfigure it with perm marker with some graphics.. Also some unseens marks on the canvas. They can take my canvas and respray it but they can nvr run away from the unseen codes on the canvas.

WAH! unseen leh... sounds like those ultraviolet ink.. heheheheh. or u used lime? den need to smoke out to see the marking??

[aeX]

nice..how about the cat in the header/cable re-route/small secondary flies?

 

done too... i dunno is my ivans FCE got anything to do with the hp.

[pichudot]

shagged... spent 30 mins to patch my tire with the worms... only succeeded on the 2nd worm...

[pichudot]

concept workable?

If my memory never fails me, I rem it's ard 80 to 100 by HL.

Should of used a spray,but opted for a marker instead. Plate no. was halfway faded and was just about to re-paint it before it got stolen.

Wouldn't want to get the camo one,then worse,can't find my bike!!Wahahahao_O

Will line my new cover with poison tonight and see who I find dead tomorrow morn:)

Ivan's FCE will help the mid-range according to what I've read.Which year is your bike,any difference after using the FCE as I'm thinking of getting it?

Insurance due for renewal soon, looking for cheaper quotes by other companies.

I can only think of the following insurance companies covering FZ1.

1) NTUC (Cut Throat Quotation)

2) Mitsui (Current insurance coy)

3) AXA

4) Anymore?

[maxxmadness]

Oh! Sori la brother Nix, next time got this type of event will banana you. Cos i didn't know we also got the Triumph riders going with us. Tot it was our own event. Total abt 20-25 bikes. A mix of HDs and the British bikes.... plus a Yama-harley

 

no prob bro, last friday met up with my old vmax kakis and rumble with them on me potato...should have banana you along too..alan was there too with my ex-max...gosh how times flies, it been almost 4 years since i sold it

[pichudot]

worms....... eww.....

 

those are your saviour lo bro...

i alws have my tool kit along with me everywhere i go...

u nvr know when u need them and they are not around u...

 

also, u can't be keep on spending hundreds of dollars to replace tires after 1 hole mah right?

 

 

Will line my new cover with poison tonight and see who I find dead tomorrow morn:)

 

nice idea...

but remember to put a reminder to remind ppl that there is poison...

touch at their own risk...

else if really got ppl die, u might be charged for the intention of killing or something like that...

bro, u can try AIG from ANDA (upper thomsom)...

dun bother go to AIG HQ at martin rd as they do no entertain bike insurances... hence u have to go thru ANDA...

btw, from next year onwards, AIG is known as Chartis...

insurance is at quite a reasonable price too...

 

when i getting this bike, NTUC quoted me $1100+, AXA is near to $1000 or slightly a bit more, AIG is $800+...

for Mitsui, i duno but i dun quite trust that coy...

[pichudot]

btw, there's lots of insurance companies...

just look for an insurance company that do general insurance, in precise, motor insurance...

AIG and AXA same????

[porridge87]

of coz not

[Awin]

 

bro, u riding a fz6 right?

if yes, the left is H7 and the right is H4 (from your seat)...

H7 cannot do low and high beam becus it only has 1 filament...

H4 have dual filaments, so able to...

it's nearly impossible to mod ur H7 to H4 cus of the headlight cover fitting...

but if you insist, u can... with a price...

 

anyway, if u interested to know more, 2moro i'm going to limbat place at 11am...

if u wanna know more from him (he's expert in electrical stuffs), feel free to pop by...

wud prefer to install both head lights H4 bulbs. still me not go at rewiring it. wad do ys meant nid to mod to accomodate da H4 bulb at da H7 bulb slot?

[Intruder]

WAH! unseen leh... sounds like those ultraviolet ink.. heheheheh. or u used lime? den need to smoke out to see the marking??

 

Hahaha...no no my friend, dun get the wrong idea, i am not so god yet to use the INVISIBLE ink. How about about burning the canvas then can see the numbers? Just kidding bro. It is written with normal ink, but it is not easily id by others that it is a code to me that may link to another clue... We must think like a thief when the thief must think like a policeman. Aiya, why so difficult? Go Ah Boy there buy a cheap cheap canvas then solve all the headache liao mah...

 

no prob bro, last friday met up with my old vmax kakis and rumble with them on me potato...should have banana you along too..alan was there too with my ex-max...gosh how times flies, it been almost 4 years since i sold it

So did they Mad Maxxes shred up the potato into french fries like what you did to the 2 Kings years back with your MADMAX? Still misses the Vboost when you guys opened up the throt.... Crazy Kings of Drag. Still imprinted in me the nice fearsome look, esp the 2 scoops by the sides. FZ is no way near to that Ohnm.. Fated did not get that rebuild VMAX, when the shop dun take in my Slasher.. NB!. Popped my dream.

concept workable?

 

 

Very nice concept. It is possible. But extensive material studies are required for the brake disc and caliper/s mountings. Cannot afford to have broken disc within the wheel, will suffer bad crash. But the air flow or aerodynamic i feel a bit impossible. How they know the inner airflow sure flow into the wheel? Unless it is scooped and redirect.

 

What they are promoting is the load distribution now is all acted inwards onto the wheel hub, the new is to spread outwards to the external rim.

 

We have total 4 pots in our front wheel. Loads are shared into 2 discs to bite the wheel to halt. The concept brake system got 4 pots if their's is single pot per inner mount caliper. To have 4 calipers, means correct alignment to prevent unbalanced of the front wheel more caliper weight added, unless super strong and light weight material used. The air pressure valve need to be relocated to let user pump air & blocking the disc, meaning this will contribute to some balancing issue, (very minmal only). More casting on the wheel spokes onto the wheel means there may have more flexing on the front wheel if the rider is on the competitive side, handling may not be as perfect if to compared. Hydraulic how to go to the caliper?

 

Anyway, this concept is workable, just more details and research is require. Refinement is necessary to perfect the new concept. Very good idea they have. Some of the custom cycle has infact using this idea, but i dun think the caliper is build so chim as compare.

This brings to mind 2 questions:

 

 

1. How effective are the Buell's ZTL brakes compared to standard radial floating disc brakes?

 

 

 

2. Is the added unsprung weight worth the supposedly better braking feel/power (still unproven)?
