[derosis]

so are there anyone/shops doing the exhaust cover/wrap ? any recommendations?

and about how much?

sorry for asking so much but i do not want my pillion to get scalded by the exhaust.

[jB]

You are a thoughtful rider I've seen people doing it before but I can't provide you with pictures sorry. You gotta wait for others to show you some stuff ;]

you mean those kind of scaled exhaust plates you find on scramblers? typically anodised colours like gold purple and blue?

 

But it don't think it helps prevent scalding since its aluminium.

you can always advice your pillion to get on or off on the left side of the bike..

scalding/burns never an issue if u do that

[jB]

I think it does, I tried a friends' and it doesn't burn my palms back then

...recently failed inspection..

reason..front turn signal not approved type...

advised by inspector to get it changed...

approved type..does it means any type approved also can?? like those sold at accessory shop??? not neccessary original??

 

anyone knows where to get low price steed / or others front turn signals??

 

thanks

[jB]

You have any pictures of yours? Should be able to pass as long as its bright enough and visible to your eye IMO. Don't get those fancy looking ones for a phantom. Just practical working ones

 

Ps: care to share where you went for inspection?

hi fellow PKs, does anyone know if the Stebel Magnum horns TM80/2 are legal to be used on the roads? thanks in advance

madman was talking about it sometime ago and i believe he had a good fight with LTA to get it approved, and he has the letter or something..

 

cos if its something that a car can put, why not a bike?

Ticking sound, not sure, have to hear in person to comment.

 

For EO dipstick, probably the mech when change EO used a plier to tighten the cap. So what you can do is to take a piece of paper, fold it a few times, then use it with a plier "kiap" the cap and twist. Rag also can. Otherwise, you'll get ugly plier marks on the cap.

 

Personally, I prefer just to hand-tighten, and that's what I always tell the mech when changing EO. Last Fri go Planet change forgot to tell... kena more ugly plier marks
