[thechosenx]

Wha guo lat! Hmm I like to corner honestly. But using phantom corner.. Ahem.. Also wet surface not to slippy lar. I think you're talking about the IRC wildfire? Scary for me to get IRC back. ):

 

If like this i'm going to change them very soon. Also wanna change my stock phantom head light bulb to white ones.

 

Then how to do inpsection if you mod your bike? o.O

[devil.L]

conering with phantom is no big issue..

i scrap corner on my ride with a pillion & a 20inches ape hanger. no problem.

 

shd be, IRC wildfire, i hear tht th threading is good..

idk thou, hasnt used not ride on that..

i love my metzeler as it is.. serve me just well.

 

white light bulb?

i doubt you'd want to..

white is usually hid i believe..

its too hot & redundant for our small bike..

personally i hate white lights on th front, it blinds my mirror.. eeyer!

 

inspection wise, you gotta hav links..

my opinion is that our headlight or in fact most bike's head lights are more like just a signal light to show our presence... u really want visibility get hid or spotlight, but it's illegal... but than again, there is no point, sg roads are well lid compared to other countries there isn't even the need for high beams at all...

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Headlights, horns etc are not an offensive weapon unlike what some people say. It's there to let others know where you are. Critical in situations demanding fast responses. Or road conditions where people just can't have 100% all-round situational awareness.

 

I have come across situations on the road where a bike's headlight is all that protected him from opposing traffic that would otherwise not see the bike at all.

 

I once 'marked' for a Phantom riding around at 10pm around Marsiling who didn't have a headlight on. A black Honda Civic didn't see him and proceeded to take a turn across a junction right in front of his bike and mine.

 

Thankfully I had already overtook the guy without lights and charged the offending Civic with hi beam on (now moving slowly in the middle of the road) and he stopped in time and reversed out of the way before it became an exercise of terminal ballistics.

 

If the other guy would have his lights on the incident wouldn't have happened because the Civic would have saw two headlights coming and would be able to judge our speed and distance properly.

 

Foglights are regarded as a good safety improvement for a motorcycle as the 3 points of light allow for a more accurate judge of the vehicle's speed and distance.

[kmjoe]

true, when used correctly its not a weapon... only if u abuse it than it's considered a weapon of annoyance...

 

pls refer to "head lamps" and "spot lamps" just to be safe on wad u can or cannot do (by right, but u can go by left too, not recommended thou )

change the front brake...? there are many parts... which part exactly did you change... the brake pads...?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

A... not really screeching. screeching sound is a bit hard to diagnose. You know of 'normal' screeching of course, but is the sound coming from somewhere else?

Maybe your front tire rubbing against the front fender?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Or like in my case vibrations travel up the brake hose and resonate causing a little buzzing sound. No mechanical issue.

 

... hmn, I need the "lorry reversing" beeping sound for when I park to match

Hi,

 

Ya. I only change the brake pad.....

 

I should go check the front fender perhaps! but i dun noe wat is that man.....

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Fender can mean a lot of things but in our bikes' case its the plastic thing above the wheel and between the forks can't miss it.

Oh, think it's better with picture. Here you go...

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

That perspective pic helps a lot if I want to get a big front fender.

 

.... still like mine stock though

Hahaha bro, they are still the same thing! The idea here is to let him know what is the Front Fender right? Hahaha... Was contemplating to use an older picture with stock fender but that wasn't my bike and I dun wanna get into copyright issues, hehehe...

[jtzx]

My target for this year is to : H4 headlight assembly , overhaul engine , new paintworks (maybe) and HEL brake lines..

 

one shot change everything then no fun already.. so 1 month do one thing ;D

Edited June 3, 2010 by jtzx

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

My target this year is : No mechanical issues, no aftermarket parts (red suspension is tempting tho), and get more DIY time lol.

 

I did a PC on Pirelli City Demon and it's a set for $160 at HLC.

 

However...

 

1. I do not want a set as I'm keeping my front Lasertec for a reason (95kph in rain!).

2. I can't be persuaded to get a set 'cos it's cheaper', when the front tyre can likely last another 10,000kms.

 

More window shopping for tyre / aftermarket reaer suspension to come.

[pureice68]

Wah, why suddenly both of you coming out with targets leh?

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

Dunno, such things are influenced by the phase of the moon, position of the planets etc

[zpjohnny]

my target this year is to have a girl friend to push me around and force me to take her everywhere as long as we are riding there.

Ooo... I like the 'pushing' part!

[pureice68]

Haha, all controlled by God and nothing to do with planet's positioning or the moon's facing lah!
