Ar..... we were travelling at less than 60KM/H according to my speedo. Hah hah ha.

I was leading Contacted and didn't want to lose track of him from my mirror.

His headlight so dim and his bike black black and he wore black jacket some more. Hardly can see him.

 

If I am not wrong, I notice your car and there was a container in front and follow by a van between me. And Contacted was covered by the van?

 

next time if you seem us again, try open the door and exchange greetings!... Just kidding..

 

Cheers!

Next time you see Contacted's Bike, don't complain his Headlights too BRIGHT can liao! Kekeke!

The side panniers seem to be designed for the Monster

 

Costs around $320 now I think, more orders = cheaper. Available in red, black, silver and blue.

 

Oxford products are of very high quality, I'm using a tank/tailpack combo now, costs about $280.

The side panniers are simply excellent for my trip to Hatyai. Will recommend it to anyone. At 1 point we were riding at 230km/h and the bags held on like a song.

 

Had a slight tear at the bottom joint at the end of the journey. I am certain I will be able to get a shop to mend it here. Good thing is that there is another layer inside. Content was all safe. Could have happened because of the load I was carrying and the terrain and speed that we were riding.

Forgotten to add that it felt so good with the panniers that I have decided to shelf my plan on buying a touring bike but to use my current set up for touring.

 

Happy riding...

tincan

 

u riding a GS?

[GalanteD]

Monster M400 Manual states that it should reach 160km/h Max. I felt the bike stress at 120km/h with me(85kgs) and my pillion(45kgs) on it.

[dark_monster]

Haha..i ride so slow also feel like flying off the bike liao

[Guest nE0]

To answer your questions;

 

Once again, the Oxford Side Panniers seem to be built for the Monster. It holds enough stuff for TWO people, including rain gear, clothes, camera, toiletries, tools for the bike, lube for the chain, some shopping, a bottle of Wild Turkey etc etc.... You get the idea

 

And TinCan is riding a Monster S4. He has proven it can survive high speed, just strap it correctly. I've proven the Monster with side panniers can can be ridden through trunk roads, twisties, mountain roads, gravel and grass, with pillion.

 

Reason I didn't want to promote it earlier was er, I wanted to be unique! I don't think theres anymore stock for Red side panniers though, sorry Vince~!

Wow your stock bike can reach 175km/h??? I can only reach that speed with my Termis on.

Hi Pro Dero

 

Haven't got the GS yet. Used to be something I desired. Now with Multistrada, KTM, and so many to choose from, am really confused. Waiting to save enough first and the right time. Not enough time to ride for now.

Anybody planning on buying clutch plate and cover soon? Maybe we can buy together to save on shipping.

[contacted]

my bike died on me today.

 

Hope to get some advice from you guys. Happened last week when my bike couldn't engage any gears, it stuck at 1st gear, very tuff to go neutral. It was actually the clutch fluid that dried out.

 

So brought to shop to flush out the existing one, what came out was thick coffee look-a-like. And got it topped up with new clutch fluid. All these done on Wed.

 

Then the problem came back again, the clutch fluid just dissapeared on its own. Don't see any visible signs of leakage leh. Anybody advise on what could be the problem? And roughly how much to get it rectified?

 

Thanks folks.

[Guest nE0]

Check your clutch slave cylinder. Chances are its leaking. Might be O'ring (Cheap fix) or the piston (Expensive fix~!)

My project is done - the Monster lives!!

 

The bike was stripped down completely and reassembled. Engine is standard but overhauled. Could not have done it without help from Mike @ Kallang Cycle. Thanks, Mike.
