Hi everyone,

Bagster tank bra in red still ups for sale.

[mechwira]

hey Alvzz, how much does a pair of mid cowl cost? coz i damaged mine in another stupid drop when my right foot got caught on the pedal and couldn free in time before it dropped.

 

worth it to share anot ah? i take right u take left?

[hockie69]

is the demage serious? if possible to patch back & respray.i believe it cheaper then buying new fairing.

 

even if u buy from ebay..those that have are the US spec paintwork.end of day also have to respray back to local(UK) paintwork.

 

or another choice is to opt for "Race fairing" aka fiberglass after market fairing liao.

[ah_tee]

tried those stebel ones but seems like no where to put leh

 

 

and also, did u guys check ur charging ? mine is max 13.92v at abv 3k rpm, seems like alot of issues wif the batt n chargin over at the US forums

any idea if they will entertain with 'small jobs'?

 

coz i not looking for a complete respray, just 3 or four small spots on my side cowl where the scratch has scraped off the silver paint and therefore too obvious and ugly to leave as is. so its actuaklly a very 'small job' if compared to replica painting. i worry they dowan entertain coz not worth their while.

 

thanx a lot for ur help, i'll keep note of this shop.

It's the same price even if u buy a pair. I would say respray the bike. Definately very ex to buy a brand new piece. Probably the range of at least 200+.

 

Respray have its own disadvantages too. Local spray shops do not sand off the paint b4 applying primer or watever they call it. OEM fairings are using 1K paint which is a one process thingy (paint + lacquer) whereby shops uses 2K paint which is first layer, paint and second, lacquer. The end product would be a thicker layer of paint & lacquer compared to stock which doesn't look as gd.

 

That's wat i learn from Yeow motor after respraying my upper cowl, right middle and lower cowl. Spray job was pretty gd for the amount i paid. Satisfied.

The insufficent charging, is zit due to the retifier design? My other bike used to have the charging problems, after replacing a newer series of retifier all seems ok.

 

Coz too many incident on this liao, not likely juz isolate to battery, probaly the entire loop of charging process.

[Shark]

Honda already solved the rectifier problem for new models of bike. Example: RVF or Super 4 or Fireblade; you need to change the battery & rectifier at least once a year. Newer models like Spec 2 and/or Spec 3 dun have this prob

Serious meh, once a year for retifier too? Before i sold my Fireblade, i changed a new retifier cost abt $35. What will be the price like for a 03RR

 

During that time, the retifier on both my bike fried(almost on the same week), later i discover it was caused by those cheap multi colour voltmeter...the retifier on my other bike cost $580, once in a lifetime ball-banging experiences!
