daelim daystar corner ?

[kobesingh]

oh. can rechrome one ah? thats gd! hope its not gonna b exp. i really hope can DIY. chrome @ exhaust pipe, taillight n headlight appears to have alot of small small holes due to rust. thanks redsky.

 

i just saw another daystar FW plate with the paintwork design same as mine near jurong cka.

 

which cka do u guys normally visit?

 

jurong east one. i just stay opposite the shop~ the one nearer to the stadium..

[kobesingh]

anyway. anyone wanna go m`sia pump petrol n makan? on sunday or what? will be heading down. anyone interested?

[kobesingh]

wondering wat mod should i start with.... been pondering for the past 2 months. haha any tips or suggestions?

[kobesingh]

i using soft99,but my friend say blackmagic can tahan longer,just bought the thing but dont yet use.

 

blackmagic? buy frm wher how much?

[mondst3r]

wow. kobe.. im staying nearby, just beside esso. hehe.

havent seen ur bike yet.

[ahweebbq]

thought the modding of the pipe to be louder is illegal?

the mod for faster can be done any one of the CKA outlet. but i forget how much less then $200 for sure.

 

actually taking out the silencer can be DIY-ed, i did mine myself. it's not that tough. there are 3 rivet screws at the end of the exhaust. just use a powerful drill to drill the rivet, den use a plyer to pull the silencer out. if u wana make it even louder, must go to the bikeshop where they cut open the exhaust to remove another metal plate that is inside the exhaust and weld it back i suppose. the silencer looks like this. As for the speed, actually i dont feel much of a difference, but the sound is quite loud as compared to the original one. For inspection, i intend to just slot the silencer back, but not screwing cos the inspection centre is just near my house =)

[kobesingh]

kinda sad. not much people in this thread. must call more people in. guess some just to busy with work n all.

[sufian_dadula]

yeah heh also not many ppl ride daystars. but hope to see u guys @ the sg flyer. i'd wanna get a picture of daystar riders here in sg

 

kobesingh: what sort of mods are you thinkin of doing? cosmetic mods or performance mods?

[kakarow]

Yo All DayStar Bro,

 

I'm new daystar rider can anyone teach me how to control the bike cause it is too heavy.

[kakarow]

Yo Bros,

 

Anyone can help me with it i drop 3 time already

[sufian_dadula]

Yo Bros,

 

Anyone can help me with it i drop 3 time already

 

how did that happen? dude sorry to hear that man. hope ur bike is fitted with crashbars, they really help prevent damage to the bike

 

not sure what tips we can give here. mebbe just head to an big empty carpark and practise riding and turnin at low speeds until u get the hang of the bike. most cruisers are pretty heavy n hard to control at low speeds, guess more experience is what u need dude. for me i found out that shiftin my weight instead of just steerin with my arms helps.

 

good luck!

Hi All Daelim bikers,

 

Anybody going for the SBF Anniversary 2008 : 28 to 30 Nov 2008 ??

[kakarow]

Hi Bro sufian_dadula,

 

No worry no thanks.. hey just to check with you do you guys meet up for coffee ?

[mondst3r]

oh man. 3 times. were u injured? eh... expressway bends can go @ 100 (ofcos, far distance from the vehicle in front, hoping he doesnt brake suddenly). hehe.

1) right angled turn and filter lane. i always stick to about 30+...

2)chopper bikes have WIDE turning. so i usually use gear 1 or 2 for U-turn.

3)Maybe my bike's pickup is slow...i have to change my gear to 3 asap after traffic light turns green if not car behind me will horn.. what else u needa know?

[mondst3r]

its A DAMN SADDENING DAY for me. i just realized that SOME BLOODY ARSEE stole the metal piece with 5 horses pinned onto my left saddle bag. where can i replace it huh? i must buy a cover liao.

 

Dear God please punish the person...

[ahweebbq]

i wana go for SBW! any daystar wana go tgt??

[kakarow]

Yo Bros,

 

want to meet up for coffee ?? me no problem use to it liao ha ha ha

[kakarow]

Yo ahweebbq,

 

Where SBW & When ?

[sufian_dadula]

i think he means the national bikers weekend, the one at the singapore flyer. i'm definitely coming down for that hehe.

 

i'm down for coffee. i live in the east so i dont mind meetin up at central. how bout it guys??

 

mondst3r: sorry to hear that man. thieves deserve a good ass-kicking!

[mondst3r]

oh ya. btw, what should we do if we see someone tampering/ vandalising our bike? i just re-sprayed my scratched + chrome-disappearing tailight n 4 signal lights with chrome-liked spray.

 

although still shiny, i think the colour is a little bit off, but still look okay on the whole. duno how to describe further... shall take pic asap. gimme comments. LOL

[kobesingh]

sufian, more on cosmetic i guess..

 

wah three times fall down.

change ur handle bar lo. im using kinda high handle bar so controlling is so much easier.

anyway dun use ur hands to turn the handle bar when cornering. use ur legs. grip the fuel tank and shift the weight. learnt it at BBDC during DRC course.

[sufian_dadula]

mondst3r: the politically correct answer would be to call the police and follow the suspect until the police shows up, take a photo if u can with ur hp. the more immediately satisfying answer shouldn't be said lah yea?

 

kobesingh: heh there's a whole lot u can do i suppose. after seeing Red.Sky's bike i feel like changing the headlamp, using smaller speedometers and tachometers, wrapping up the seat in red and black leather with some stitching too, n fixin the signal lights to the handlebars a la harley, change the taillight and licence plate to a tombstone or iron cross set up and so on. from what i hear from other daystar owners, the daystar is one bike u can really mod u can check out hotbike or bagger magazines for more customisin ideas

 

kakarow: yeah u can try changin ur bars to the dragstyle ones. when i changed it i felt alot more secure, especially at the turns

 

ahweebbq: thanks for the tip on the exhaust, i just did mine today. sounds a whole lot more throaty man, n the pickup slightly better too. cheers!
