[N_RIDER]

Bro, welcome to the Steed club (no offence to non-steed readers). I have gotten my VLX about 6 mths back and hardly ride it but the site of it makes me glad that I can finally own a bike again.

 

I am also keen to do something with it and customised it to my likings. Hope to meet you guys and maybe learn something from you!

 

Enjoy!

[zumteufel]

Thanks :-)

 

Yesterday I had a breakthrough finding places to buy aftermarket parts for the Steed 400. And not just stuff, GREAT stuff!

 

Here goes:

 

Japanese site

Site encoding not working, so use copy/paste text into babelfish if you don't understand japanese.

 

Easy Riders, Japan

 

Chopper House, Thailand

Custom work - exhausts, tanks, etc.

 

Also, check out VLX Riders, a forum focusing on Steed and Shadow VLX.

 

Enjoy - I sure will!

Hi Steed Guys. I had did the following changes to my Steed

a) EO

b) Plugs

c) Oil/Air filter

d) Throttle grips(Strips Chrome)

e) Risers/Clamps

f) Near Straight Handle Bar,they called it Drag Bar(Frankly,I hate the original V-shape handle bar for VLX)

See Pic for the new handle bar.....if case other VLX owners keen.....

 

Plannings to change:

 

a) Signal Lights

b) Mirrors

c) Re-sprays

 

Thanks for viewing........

that's effectively the selling price only la, cos it's easy to DIY, nothing that difficult.

 

the chrome rack is rather universal, the pre-drilled holes i dun know if it'll fit your model or not, but can always drill one to fit if needed.

Thanks Madman,

 

I assume these are solid and not hollow crash bars. If solid and still available I will take it. Please PM your contact so I can arrange pick up. Thanks

hey... anyone know if the Bullet headlight can fit our steeds? or is there any bigger headlight that can fit onto steed?

 

finally... my chrome air box is kinda in bad shape. is there a metal polish shop that can restore that shine back?

Mirrors from my old steed VLS for sale.

[Throttle]

Guess it's a sign of the times.

 

12 - 13 yrs ago when I was riding the Steed, it was all the rage and many aftermarket parts were designed for the Steed. AhBoy and other old timer bikes shops like Choong Kok Agency, Mah Motor, Chiap Lee also sold many steed parts...

 

This included, airbox, exhuast, filters, handlebars, mirrors, chrome bolt-ons, crash bars, sissy bars, signal lights, foot pedals, saddle bars, big bob gas tank, fenders, speedos etc....

 

zhng until siao...... but nowadays, maybe not trendy anymore.

Becos people probably rather buy a Harley to zhng.

hey what's the name/address of the workshop that Roslan works at? Anyone know? Or, can anyone recommend a place I can service my Steed at? Should be a fairly major look-through coz it's been a while.

bro.. its been a long time man... hahahha very Fricking nice what u have done. chat up on msn if u have one.. hahah i got new stuffs

[LonesomeRider]

hi y'all, a recent steed owner here...i'm thinking of getting a windshield...any place to recommend...no need very hi-end one

[dreamwalk]

hi lonesome, you bought a steed already huh? i got a steed also.. next time can go riding

[LonesomeRider]

hi there dreamwalk,

i'm game for that ...is there a steed owners group you regularly go riding with?

[dreamwalk]

no lah.. i usually ride my shadow.. but i got a steed to ride too

 

i dun really join any group, just random outings lor, too busy with work

[LonesomeRider]

dreamwalk>

no gang, nvr mind, still can go riding. but of cos, family and work($$) comes b4 play. i got wife and daughter, so weekends i try to spend w them. and i work freelance, typically from afternoon to 9,10pm, once in a while fullday, occasionally even on weekends. Very unpredictable.

 

i just tot it would be quite cool to be riding in a group of the the same model of bikes.

i ride supermagna for past 7 years...no chance to satisfy that "herding" instinct ...haha...that's what you'd call a group of wild horses right? a herd...of steeds

i wunder if anyone ever tried to form up a "herd" or if one already exist? Sure, it wouldn't be as impressive as the pigs (HOG) ...but won't be too shabby either right?

Madman, Thanks. The Steed crash bars are on and looking good. Glad we did not continue to try and fit on the spot as it took our bike mechanic 3 hours to fit (with a little stretching).

 

Cheers
