i would say it depends on your objective of changing and the amount of spare cash you have... following are my personal comment and may diffs from others...

 

1) Balancer (Recommend?)

some aftermarket balance are just for you to change to a different colour... that you can live with or without... but there are some that are longer and heavier. heavier balancers help to stablised on your handbar at high speed and longer ones and help take impact if you have a stationary fall so it does not hit the tank.

 

in my opinion $30 - $40 is a worthy investment.

 

2) Centre Stand

main stand are good if you have to park your bike at softer grounds like sandy paths (when you go touring). it is also good if you usually manual oil your chain...

 

$200+ is a bit expensive for this sort of good-to-have i say...

 

3) Fork / Frame Slider (Recommend?)

for protection... it is just like protective jackets and gloves you wear... really depends on the rider's risk assessment

 

4) Suspension Guard (My friend say one... What's that?)

there are many out that fancies the showa stock suspensions and they can be quite easily removed... the usual suspension guard the bike shops give dun really offer much protection frankly... cos if a thief really aims your bike, all he/she needs is to bring another long screw driver to ply open your seat; half a min job...

 

i have my suspension screw wield dead at seng kwang... only way is to unwield before you can take out my suspensions... something that you may consider... for $50, i say is gives me greater peace of mind...

 

5) Belly Pan

good for the looks... does not really serve much real purpose for a nake bike like S4...

 

6) Brake hose

for new bikes, you have a bit of time to consider about changing since the new stock brake hose will still serve you well for a couple of months... but the more you brake, the more the hose will expand and your effectiveness of brake reduces with it...

 

in my opinion, safety is my upmost concern and good set of brakelines will last long and are good investments... cost around $200 to change all 3 brakelines...

 

almost all class 2 bikes that i know have changed their brakelines

 

7) PowerCut...

are you a speed demon? it is really a trick question... if you are, then S4 is really not your bike... cos S4 is not really build for speed... nake bike with lots of air resistance, insufficient stability for high speed, etc...

 

if not, then dun really need to consider...

 

you bike comes with power cut at 13k RPM... on a well-maintained S4, you can already clock 190km/h... (well, at least that is what the meter can read till)

 

furthermore, push your bike into the red RPM is not really something you like doing often as it kills the engine pre-maturely...

 

8) Electrical Grounding (Necessary?)

also another thing that i personally will recommend... if done correctly and well, you should feel your ride smoother, better throttle reaction, better fuel consumption, and prolong the life of your battery, etc.

 

almost all class 2 bikes that i know have done grounding

 

9) "Air-horn" (Recommend?)

louder horns are good when you encounter idiotic drivers and gives good warning to other road users... not for abuse but for a good cause...

 

but air horns are illegal. do select those that are street legal please...

 

10) BTW, anyone knows if there is any way to install a back-rest on the bike?...

no idea... therefore cant comment...

thks sis Lass u come down tonite lah, bring ur hubby along.....

welcome bring him from sepang? hehehe

 

hope u had a good time last nite

[Lass]

HI there, here's my 2 cents worth...

 

1) Balancer (Recommend?)

personally i find tat stock balancers r good enuf. unless u want longer and heavier ones, u can find it at motoworld at about $30-40 i think. longer balancer means tat u hv to be extra careful when squeezing and already stock mirrors r long. changed my mirror to 954 mirrors and stuck to stock balancers.

 

2) Centre Stand

like wat the rest say, it'a good to hv esp when u need to spray chain or park in some stupid tight lots

 

3) Fork / Frame Slider (Recommend?)

frame slider - dun look nice, happy w the 3 point crash guard for engine. fork slider, u can get fr motovation. think about 70bucks. PM Motrax33

 

4) Suspension Guard (My friend say one... What's that?)

min. protection for the suspension but u can weld it like kennethy but most ppl just use the guard. i made my bike shop give it to me for free, it's cheap stuff. at my mcsp, one fella's suspension kerna kop. stock suspensions ain't cheap.

 

5) Belly Pan

dun find much purpose except to collect more dirt & sand other than tat that just a cosmetic purpose

 

6) Brake hose

most ppl can live w stock ones and u can change it if u feel tat u need better braking power. lots of brands in the mkt - HEL, Venhill, speedbrakes (average priced ones from 175 onwards, less than 200). the premium ones - swage & goodridge think in the range of about 240 & above.

HEL - vector 1

Venhill - Motovation

Speedbrakes - Andrew Morris / think u can PM fat_di to enquire. shop at geylang

Swage - motoworld

goodridge - think u can find it at biketech 21

Dun need to worry too much abt brake pads yet cos Honda has the best stock brake pads and can last for long time.

 

7) PowerCut...

dun worry abt tat, it's not built for speed but for relac riding and besides in sg how fast can u go?

 

8) Electrical Grounding (Necessary?)

recommended but i hv yet to do it as well so no further comments

 

9) "Air-horn" (Recommend?)

hehe i love this one - nv fix it where ur stock horns are. for boldor it's a bit more tricky but rather simple job - it's well concealed at the inside of the fairing, u need to get hella horns cos the stebel ones r too broad for our boldor. got my horns fixed at motoworld. think abt 30plus can't rem. need to take out the 2 small side pc (tat looked like the air intake part) connected to ur speedo unit there and changed 2 screws.

 

 

10) BTW, anyone knows if there is any way to install a back-rest on the bike?...

back rest - hehe this one am not sure cos i will not do something like tat. actually u can think of putting a box tat comes w the back rest. for me - box is banned for 2 reasons hehehe 1) spoil the look of the bike 2) once started, u will be addicted to having box cos it's damn convenient.

 

another thing i did to my bike is -

Scottoiler - auto lub for ur chain. can be fixed at motoworld at about 170 i think. save the hassle of having to lub ur chain. only thing is tat u need to be diligent to clean ur sprocket. the kit u get can last u for about 1 yr. juz need to top up the bottle of lub which is fixed in the storage compartment. well concealed

 

u can see the fork slider and changed brakehose.

 

hope e above helps.

[Gaofar]

Thanks to one and all who replied... So touched...

 

Anyway, thanks again for the info, I am able to have a rough feel for what I'll like to do when I received my Bol'Dor... I think the first few things I'm gonna do will be as such:

 

. KNN Air Filter (From my old VTEC...)

. Suspension Guard plus welding...

. Broquet Fuel Pellets (From my old VTEC...)

. Engine Crash Guard

. Electrical Grounding

. Brakehose

. Fork / Frame Slider

. Balancer

. "AirHorn" (Sorry Ms Lass, is Hella a legal brand?...)

. RevTec

. BellyPan (Maybe...)

 

Well, judging from the list, I'm quite a "vain-pot"... Like my bike to look good...

 

As for the "PowerCut", it's just that I'm sort of used to my non-powercut version of my VTEC 1. Plus there are times when I took my VTEC for a Thailand trip... At least still can keep in pace with Diversion 900 at top speed. FJX 1300... Can only smell smoke...

 

The back-rest is something I've always wanted to add on my VTEC, just that with VTEC 1 it's almost impossible except if you were to add a box-rack... Never like the look

Anyway, with VTEC 3 I think it can be achieved with the handle-grab behind. Thinking you guys must be quite more experienced with VTEC 3, thought there might be some guy have ever attempted to add a back-rest behind for the pillion to rest on without sacrificing the look of the bike... I guess if there's really no one ever done it, I might just get maybe a Phantom back-rest and weld to the place where the rear handle-grab is...

 

I must say I am quite excited to get my Bol'Dor as this is my first new bike in my whole biking life!... Ten years of riding and now finally my first new bike, can't wait for it! Oh BTW, how long must I ride for engine run-in?

 

Thanks alot!

 

Cheers!

bro, can share how much the bike cost? price w or wo insurance? and downpayment if no trade in

[Gaofar]

Hello there Farish,

 

Well, I bought the Bol'Dor at DX and they quote me $11.5K for Bol'Dor and $10.9K for normal VTEC Spec III, both are machine-price. Add another $550 for insurance from NTUC comprehensive, about $200+ (can't remember) for registration fee, blah blah blah..., interest rate of 5% per annum about $2.5K... Total I think about $14K lah... Oh BTW, I trade in my VTEC for $4K...
