All about Steed

[jiansheng]

Hi all,

 

I came across some risers online. the mounting for it is 1/2 inch, where the mounting on our stock handlebar is 12mm. Any1 face this problem when changing stock handle bar to custom risers?

Those mentioned bike shops couldn't solve the leaking problem? Have you try going back to them and show them the leaking? If they can't do anything to help you, then I think I got to start searching for another bike shop for servicing. Mind to share what are the shops' name or person you visited?

Ya. I saw urs but It is only a quarter of the rim. Am looking for about 125-145 deg at least for mod.

 

Anyway how u guys painted the rim?

Last I heard from my mech that if powercoat the spokes, it will peel off in time due to the tensioning of the spoke.

Powercoat the rim is ok but the problem will be the spokes

 

Any advise on the method u guys use?

prefer not to name shops bro;) though both shops advertise their services here in SBF.

So was wondering any specific shops u brudders go to to get the steed fixed ?

Da current fender on my bike is shorter den wat i`m sellin.. da one i`m sellin is much more longer if wat u`re sayin by 125-145 degrees.. almost 3/4 of the rear wheel.. pics as below when attached onto da bike..

as fer spokes.. best alternative is just to spray after fixin.. or u can buy new chrome ones.. mine i just sprayed the whole rim.. cos even if powdercoat.. when chgin tyres in future.. it`ll still scrape off the colour.. so imo.. no point.. but its still ur call.. =)

I am actually looking for more length(perimeter) so that I have the freedom to different design while fitting.

The one that you are selling are more or less standard thus I am unable to customise it to my design...

 

Anyway possible to tell me where in Singapore you can get a fender of long perimeter?

[trial-sin]

Drop by soon fah at kallan industrial n look fer ah di.. He can customise ur ride up to ur desired expectation..

Mine is serviced by a mech named Paul in Alexandra Motors (

 

Brought my steed to him when i bought it from a random seller. did a check and found a few things not up to standard despite paying a high price for it.

 

1) coolant dried

2) damaged radiator

3) leaking EO from my twins

4) reserve fuel switch leaking

5) high rpm masking tuning issues

 

issue 1 and 2 was quite troublesome but was solved with a bit of cash. reserve fuel switch was rebuilt quite easily. header gaskets and left engine block gaskets were changed eventually to stop leaking EO. rpm lowered but engine kept stalling so air filter was changed. bike still stalled frequently. changed the air box to carburetor rubber joint as my mech thinks its leaking. wash and retuned carbs.

 

settled. now its sweet.

terrible one

 

It's so different from a Nightster. The forks are longer and has more rake. It's a softail and uses a hugger type rear fender. The and the engine surely doesn't look like one from H-D. Maybe can bluff some ppl who think every cruiser is a H-D, but other den the paint they look very different

 

 

 

aiyah who dont know.

 

people who PLAY bike know these things, this can bluff ignorant people loh....

 

anyway according to him, he spend $2000 for mod ~!

[trial-sin]

Ahakz.. let's chill dwn da tension here on a mornin monday blues..

 

lolx..! even da uncle at da petrol kiosk asked me how much i bought my "Harley".. haha..!

 

well.. all i can say is dat my $2k is money well spent..! =)

 

but lately i`ve been ridin da S4 out cos it has been rainin frequently.. lazy to wash & polish the steed evrytym.. i sure do miss ridin da steed.. if it does not rain today.. myte bring her out fer a spin.. but frm da looks of it outside my window.. i dun tink so.. =(
