All about Steed

[Bardamuz]

Two important point be solved this week :

 

The rack angle is currently 35° but i want 38/39° , so as we can't modified the frame (Thanks Mr LTA) , we found even in the Springler we can remade by CNC a new complete Triple T with some degree to achieve my request.

 

 

The second is triple problem in one, i want rear and front 15" to 16' max that's not simple at all as each rim have is specific number of spoke, and large and as a problem never come alone i also want disk brake in the rear wheel , but after searching all around the web and several scrap yard, the solution appear we have to send the two wheel in UK and the front wheel they will change the rim to a 3" X 16", currently is 2,5"X21 , for the rear they will provide and install a drop center with disk brake match the existing alignment , this solution is a little costly but for sure the more safe and simple.

Hi guys, sorry to sidetrack. But how do you guys maintain the white walls on your tyres?

 

I mean like after I used chain lube, when the bike's running, the lube just spray all over the white walls..

Any help??

[edit] Found this one made in USA but only for VTS/VTX and in my eyes over pricey .... keep searching if one exist for the VLS

 

[edit2] Found the japanese rake kit 8° but it's only for VTX

 

i also see some home made solution , witch i will not comment

the question (i think), it's your budget ah di have made several bobber "Steed" based but in my eyes it's low cost job : example when i see how he cut the subframe it's horrible, the way he fix the rear fender look like be made in Sub-Sahara garage, all the rear fender are exactly the same ... lucky each owner have some taste so at the end of the day not all bike are strictly the same ...

 

if you have budget, you can take a look ate the guy mod the Harley , but the price (and the job) will not be the same ....

 

but the first and more important question it's do you know clearly what do you want to do with your baby ??

what to do. Many people does not have big budget on their project, what u pay is what u get. Like i pay 2.5k for a alloy tank but everyone here said i am mad. ha ha

[736cc]

Like this TW200, i will say best tw200 i have seen in sg, very nice but just workmanship is already $5k and take 18 month to make it happen, how many singaporean willing to pay?

i also have the time with no budget at all , but i mod my bike , i learn everywhere i can and put the hand in the grease ... and i am pretty sure you did the same ... for sure have one important point it's Singapore is not a place where the culture of the modified bike already installed and popular , so that doesn't help.

 

Just a small example , century ago :-) , when i have my first Honda Dax , i want all side cover (carter) polished i did all by hand and i think i spend more than a month every evening after work to go in my car park to polish this part, for sure for have this made by a professional at that time i can't afford it ....

for sure it's surely the best one: the question is not the cost it's how much you desire to have your own beast .... maybe better to save money for a beast like this than change every 6 month for a new smartphone ... at least it's my point of view ...

 

PS: by the way where is that place they work in that bike ??

how the hell they lower down the rear part ?? fixed kit or special shock ??

 

My self for the carb i will go to a single Mikuni 40mm so i will throw out all crapy stuff ;-) , the tank i have an idea floating in my mind is use a Phantom tank but kick out the big speedo and insert a smaller one ... i wana my fork much clean as possible

 

for the cover front of the tank and down to the seat, we will made our special a little like the V-Rod Grid ....

3 part i will keep it until the bike is fully finish hahahaha

have to buy their low rider shock made for steed. i order already but haven arrive yet. still haven confirm which rake to buy, 8" or 12"..

why phantom tank? they have ready alloy tank made for steed and just buy and install.

 

the 1 seat can buy the 1pcs fairing too.

 

3 items add is around: 184800yan/around $3100sgd can change the bike look already

Something like , but the tank must cover the frame on the up part of the engine .... , the engine will be cleared from all original crapy stuff : air filter, ugly pipe spark cable , coil and son on .... even the front radiator will have a beauty cure, i know i am not simple but i know what i want ....

Phantom tank will not able to fix on the steed because of the single frame design and need lots of work to cut and remake to make it fix.. zzzz

yeah we know that , but based on the one we found from a scrap yard and my existing one with the two we can made one will fit the frame and my request ... , don't forgot this bike will be used as catch eyes for some fair we attend .... and honestly the cost is not a problem if i have what i wan't and all the cost will be deduct from my company annual income tax ...

[736cc]

this is something u want?
