dun like the fox sign lei...

i still prefer the scorpion sign...

 

haha.. all about preference, so eliminate the thoughts of remus and see others lor..like y i dun like certain brands too..

 

v sad lei... i jus dun understand y yammie discontinued fz6... it's a great bike after all!

 

dunno leh.. so as to come up with fz8 and earn more lo.. 1 thing i like about fz8 is inverted forks, but the exhaust not nice (change aftermarket = $$$), but y the forks and suspension is not fully adjustable.. hehe.

encourage people to upgrade the forks too lo...

[dragonforce]

i need to disagree with your point 'c' on hardest to lane split...

u haven seen some fellas doing lane split with 2x 40L side panniers...

i used to see a ST doing power lane split almost everyday when i go to work too...

 

hehehe...

 

i have also seen before. and those wider bikes lane split much much faster than me.. just imagine how much faster they can do it without their panniers. but for pple like me, estimation not very good 1.. will lane split very slow if with side panniers.

 

encourage people to upgrade the forks too lo...

 

rear suspension not so difficult. front ones, wah extensive & expensive mod, esp for fz6.

[MuNkyFooT]

 

yea... one of the best looking & at a reasonable height around liao...

i googled for caisci, cee bai, rifle, zero, ermax, puig, givi...

the 1st 3 are too high... looks stupid...

zero looks slightly higher than ermax from internet...

puig dun have picture for it...

givi looks too wide...

 

 

steering damper got la... Chong confirmed it...

but he yet to reply me on the rotary kit lei...

 

ok, we can include that in our local touring coming up soon...

 

There's also Vstream by National Cycle and Skidmarkz.. just to broaden your screen search..

 

As for the Ohlin steering damper, did Chong browse through his catalog or just say got.. as far as I know, Ohlins have yet to make a bracket for the Gen II. Could it be that racewerks modified a bracket to fit the Gen IIs?

[Gal_SGRider]

so minimum is 30L box? any pics to see?

lucky u not into R6 inverted fork for ya FZ6...

 

actually, i am interested in it did my research. but the changing might be a task too big for me, need to find the r6 forks, brake calipers, triple clamps, find a way to mount heli bar, get the shims and spacers etc. expensive and extensive mod like i said, so i put it aside. but its still a mod i am interested.

there are two person whom i know are doing similar mods... wonder do u know them as well? if u don't, i can share wif u on who r they then u approach them ba ok?

[fir_chan]

btw guys if i put the LV exhaust, can i put side pannier... but hor... how much to put the side pannier...

 

im starting to think that the saddle bags r a hustle lah... but hor.. box so unglam oso... n so big.. n not as good for lane splitting like now.........

 

Use Sw motech racks.... touring u put them on... if not touring... take them out and you still have your nakedness....

[dragonforce]

yup i know who are the 2.. i know 1 of them not changing to inverted, i shared my research with him and told him where to get some of the critical parts.. i believe the other is also changing to r6 conventional forks.

[pichudot]

yup... i ordered my sw-motech racks liao...

if u wanna know the price, i can sms u...

hmmm... duno if we got the person correctly or not...

but, both of them are not changing to inverted... both of them bought R6 conventional forks instead...

[pacino]

 

oic... when he's back?

i was browsing the internet, we can compare the price with mezzo...

for the online purchase, it would be cheaper if we can do mass order or wad...

 

 

 

 

racewerks have olins one lei... u saw that?

 

yeah... was quote 1k+ by them, but abit skeptical bout the bracket; not sure it's self fabricated.

 

Got the GPR shipped direct from US. Easy to install; easy to adjust. Cornering .......Never felt smoother and stable......:thumb:

 

But got a bit scared....the more stability and confidence I got.... the more I ride like a hooligan:angel:

Hello,

 

Gotten my FZ6N S2 1 mth ago, looking to upgrade the brake hose? Any recommendation? Unique selling Hel @ $150, Venhill $230, is it good? Or Good-Ridge SSBH? Anyone here changed their rear light to LED (http://www.motodynamic.com/index.php?cPath=5_6_38) ?

And any good place to recommend servicing?

Thanks

Looks like GPRv4 is a good buy. It has been in my radar as well.. How much u paid for it with shipping? I saw some overseas site selling $445.95 USD..

u mean h&b 30L side panniers ah?

 

For Ohlin damper, I think it's side mount for Gen1. I did inquired be4 from Sporting Motor before, they said there are no bracket for Gen2 FZ1, however they can MODIFY to make it fit to FZ1.

[PaLmEr]

CHOR AR!!!!

 

the consequences of being throttle happy while on the way to work daily...

 

10km/l..

 

:faint::faint:

 

lesson learnt: change gear at 4k rpm, dun keh kiang change @ 5k or 6k.. although sound and feeling very shiok. wallet bleed lagi shiok.. =X

 

you been riding @ 200km/h ah?

i wouldn't mention them if it's not for GenII.. Just gotta google harder..

hmm.. I cant seem to find the part number for the ohlin's bracket but if Choong say it's from Ohlins.. good man.. I just wouldn't use a self fabricated one.. It wont look pretty if it break or worst, locks the handlebar in a middle of a turn.. I've personally seen a broken damper mount of one of the guys here..

 

how does the sw-motech rack looks like for mounting with side panniers and top box? tried goggling but cant find any image...

 

SW Motech Top and side rack

SW-Motech is pretty standard. Just need to get the right adaptors for the top box and side boxes. I'm using motech top and side rack with Hepco Jr 45 and Givi V35.

hmmm... Ohlins... shouldn't have much of a skepticality de ba...

but nevertheless, saw the GPR you was talking about... sounds good too and but easy to take it out unlike conventional damper right?

how much u paid for it & shipping?

 

 

yup.. i am quite sure we are talking about the same 2 person.. not many in sg would do this upgrade..

 

hahaha... yeah... should be the two fellas la... think no one in SG wanna so such expensive mods lo... only angmos have the time and monie for these...

anyway, both of them bought convensional R6 forks but yet to fix it up... i'm v eager to see how's the results...

i might be meeting one of them 2moro cus my ASV levers has reached him! yeah!

 

 

how does the sw-motech rack looks like for mounting with side panniers and top box? tried goggling but cant find any image...

 

btw, what's the price for the racks for mounting with side panniers and top box?

 

bro, u can try downloading the catalog from www.swmotech.co.uk from the bottom of the web page...

ok lar... i got the side panniers rack + top box rack for around $730, exclusive of boxes ah...
