Cant Hideki's one fit?

Alex said dont have already..

havent met Hideki.... but plan to meet him this evening.. bro..

yesterday.. i went to LAB.. so most of the shops nearby closed..

may be i'll go again...

do u guys know any motorshop in Ubi ???

[raphael]

from what i know, the headlight (for my type) can be fix onto the bike without any brackets. but it will be in a very awkward position. flashing down.

alex's phantom pic. i guess he just mount directly onto the bike without bracket.

[kmax]

seems like it bro... but the mount point on head light is abit far from original one..

i havent really take out my head light and try yet..

may be u can give me better suggestion when u see it..

would you mind sharing how you mount your bullet headlight to kmax?

my bullet headlight is using the same bracket as the original one..

[Guest @h_püi™]

Question (1):

 

is it possible to make the box key to same with the ignition? that mean carry less key...

 

or maybe is it possible to make top and side box key lock using the same key in one? or best i ignition key for starting motor and open the box?

 

if possible, which shop can do this and how much? thanks

Question (2):

When to know it time to change the front and rear sproket? together with the chain?

[Akarui Siren]

How much ye guys installed for:

1) Hazard lights

2) Extra front headlights (coz I got crashbar can install extra headlights)

3) Acrylic/plastic plate (heard someone here got provide the service here?)

 

Abit kiasu lar... But at least I have no intention to install sidebox and music box... Saw ppl install and ride abit bo balance de... (and scary) And my metal plate super ugly always buang till wai-wai de. TTATT plastic type won't break easily I heard?

 

Someone told me at lavendar got sell personalized decals/stickers to stick on bikes. Anyone knows the place and the exact address? Me wanna design my own stickers... >____

1) There isnt a way to incorporate both the ignition key with the boxes, unless its integrated with the bike, which apparently it isnt.

However, you can go on dwn to Chiap Lee/219/LAB to have all yr boxes lock change just to 1 universal lock, sorry I dont know abt the cost though.

 

2) There is a mileage limit. But I dont really remember how much.

What I did was, always tk note of the slack of the chain, once the slack is adjusted till almost unadjustable, then would reccomend to change the chain & both sprockets.

 

Correct me if Im wrong.

1) Shld be $16-18.(Last quote frm Ah Koon)

2) , not really sure, can be found @ LAB/Ah Koon/Loois

3) xanc's the forumer name, thread can be found in under Product Mass Ordering section. Pricing's included.

 

& you are refering to box brackets? Metal is more sturdy & rigid than plastics as its brittle.

 

As for stickies... Customizing can be found @ 219, Lavender St, or another shop that is along Jln Besar, just walk back towards the traffic lights & you spot the shop.

Note: Price might be steep, as its according to size & colour...

Also, prone to itchy fingers pilfering it too...

How I know? Cos mine got done....

[TheYasMan]

AhPui, i changed my chain when it couldnt be tightened anymore.. Sprockets, when they're sharp-edged, blunt, etc... Think you can get the image examples from the manual. Last time my old TA150's back sprocket was faulty (too sharp already) and had weird wheezing-like noises from the back wheel.

 

Akarui_Siren.. Plastic doesnt break easily compared to metal?

Metal can bend. Plastic breaks.

 

Kev. "Also, prone to itchy fingers pilfering it too...

What do you mean?

What do you mean?

I got customized 2 stickers frm 219, was on my boxes(on my TA) for abt only 3 months, 1 fine evening after I come back frm my usual football session(was riding my Steed then), found something amiss after parking the bike, then it caught my attention that the stickies have been long gone & only the mark of it left.

 

[Guest Valarie]

Just a pointer...

If u decide to install a few electrical items such as extra lights or even FM receiver, ensure that you do have sufficient groundings. Or else, u will not have a pleasant ride!!

[kmax]

GUYS... need help...

coz today, i was coming to work, rushing on PIE and dropped my reflector on the way. only realize it when i reach work.

Mine is under NTUC Income

I think you can buy from any insurance company you like.

If you renew through the bikeshop, they will earn a commission but less hassle.

 

[zelot]

hi all, does anyone know where i can go to buy e left rubber footrest?

 

yest b4 moving off still got.. then after going thru e rather deep pool of water along eng neo then gone..

 

thanks

[Guest @h_püi™]

wanna check, for the wheel chain, wat the diff between gold chain and non gold chain?

[TheYasMan]

some bikeshops do not get commission for renewal of insurance.

you may renew via Mitsui directly, or via bikeshop.

 

as for gold or not gold chain, difference is the colour... haha!

Ok well i think its not good enough to ask by their colours, as different brands have different colour makes too.

U mean the rider's left footrest?

Many bikeshops should have it. Go LAB lah they have (almost) everything.

[noobie]

Hi..i just passed mt TP not long ago. Decided on phantom as it is stable den other bikes.

 

Some questions...

 

1) how much is the insurance for a newbie like me. ( should be buying mitsui)

 

2) is it true that phantom needs less maintainance?

 

3) is it troublesome for tall people?

yes there is on the webby.

Are they legal for inspection or anything like that? If not I think it's worth the upgrade.
