[pichudot]

any advantage using lock nuts ?

 

to prevent the nut from loosing and fall off when it comes to high vibration riding...

u never want parts of your bike to drop while riding right?

 

i personally experienced my mirrors to become loose in NSWH and when i reach sadao border, i stripped the dashboard out and discovered 1 nut out of 2 nuts on each mirror had dropped and the last nut is half way out of the thread already...

that time is using stock (normal) nut and i did not do any re-tightening to that area since the day i got my bike...

luckily i brought lock nuts & some spares here spares there in order to save my mirrors...

 

well... i'm always the "mobile safety rover"... lol...

 

anyway, stock are good...

but not every stock stuffs are good...

you have to identify out which are the stuffs you need to replace...

 

 

..17hrs+/- , 1200km , 1 mountain and the the FZ1 feels even better than ever!!:angel::angel:What a crazy day:faint:

 

well... at least we got another achievement accomplished...

my 2nd riding achievement from the 1st ride from hatyai to SG in 19 hours from 12pm to 7am!

 

yup... after super long riding, i feel that my bike is even smoother than before!

 

 

Ok Charles on this weekend.

 

My wife if keep vibrating chop away best

 

Charles u going genting- hatyai or the other way?

yup... but now i got a problem taking them out intact already...

today i tried... it's pretty hard... lol!

 

anyway i used 3M super glue... wahahahahahaha!

the same stupid thingy i applied on the rubber cushion on my wind shield...

 

today i go buy the super glue remover...

stupid sia they didn't sell that just like that...

it sort of tag along with a new piece of super glue...

so i LPPL buy that to try 1st...

 

in the end, it works!

but not enough for my that patch of stupid sh!t...

hence i decided to go get the raw material soon...

 

that's y i mentioned i like lock nuts, loctites, lock here lock there... lol...

that is y i also screwed myself up from the rubber nut at the tank there remember? lol!

anyway, today i managed to take it out but i damaged the rubber nut...

i'm going to look for an replacement one of these days...

 

i would say, very nice experienced gained!

[pichudot]

What time will you be at M-technik ???

 

not too sure but it should be like 10+am i suppose...

I see.. so super glue is not a so wise choice if want to take it out ...

[pichudot]

can use de la...

but only apply to those area that you will not be removing forever...

 

e.g is the frame plugs...

u wun be unlocking the nut there unless u need to take out your engine or do something to your frame right?

if u really need to do that, i'm sure there's no way you would wan to still keep the plugs for future use sake...

u can always get a new pair...

 

next is the little oval plastic cap thingy on the stem of your mirrors...

u dun need to use that in actual fact...

 

for my, i wanna trim one side of my plugs to make it look even better & smart!

[pichudot]

oh... i love slippery slippery...

i mean the grip...

grip slippery good wad, u do less throttle and hence speed is slower...

Oops... I see.. lol

 

I was thinking to use silicon instead to stick the plugs...

 

Let's see if I can meet-up with you on Sat....

:thumb:

slippery also mean less sensitive ...

I mean less responsive... lol

silicon is also a good alternative...

but it may drop off... may ah...

 

hmmm... maybe some nice 3M double sided tapes + silicon will be good...

will further share wif u when we meet...

 

 

slippery also mean less sensitive ...

I mean less responsive... lol

 

i feel that it's better not to be so responsive in rainy weather in throttle thingy... hehehehe...

[SiaoSter]

thanks bro... it a universal bracket right? meaning to say givi/kappa/H&B box can attached to it?

 

that day u n another forumer were arguing which is cheaper order online or from M-technic.. so which is cheaper? buy the bracket as a complete set

( side + top) got better pricing from m-technic or not?

bro, to correct you 1st, the rack is from sw-motech de...

m-technik do not carry sw-motech racks or it's stuffs...

m-technik only carry hepco & becker brand...

sw-motech is carried by biketech...

 

for this sw-motech rack, the metal rack itself is universal for the particular bike de...

the only thing is that you can add in this adapter plate to suit your likings...

if u like h&b boxes, u take a kind of adapter...

for h&b aluminium & plastic boxes, they are of a different kind of adapter...

if u like givi or kappa or trax, u take other kind of adapters...

to know which adapter u need to get, u need to look at their catalog...

catalog can be downloaded from http://shop.sw-motech.com/cosmoshop/...

 

you can noticed that my side rack are already up with the adapter plates but not my top rack...

i'm keeping my top rack adapter for the time being till i got my top box...

for now, it looks real slick to see it this way...

 

back to the arguing portion you mentioned...

to order online is definitely more expensive than ordering from biketech...

you will receive your goods perhaps much earlier if you order online, i can't confirm on this cus i'm not the person who go thru this method...

i have my needful time to wait for biketech to get me my racks...

you can do your own maths, i get my full side rack set for around $450 and my full top rack set for around $280...

 

lastly, order online & order from biketech do have a common thing in mind...

that is you need to install it yourself or bring it to your favorite bike shop to do it for you...

for me, i'm a diy kind of person...

i diy it myself inclusive of re-wiring blah blah sh!t...

 

good luck bro...
