Why do u find these items not safe?

[Troy437]

Why do u find these items not safe?

 

The mirror (not stock) is oval shape, and the adjustment angle is very limited. I can't seem to get a good view of the vehicles behind me me. I would like to get a rectangular one, similar to the stock one.

 

The handlegrip is chrome type with long black strips. The black strips are hardening and pieces are coming off, and the handlegrip for throttle is sliding out, exposing a 1 cm gap of the throttle plastic inside. I want to get the stock type handle grip, with the centre part all black rubber.

 

Any recomendations? Ah Boy shop seems like a good choice.

OIC. Yes then. Better to get them change. Ah boy is cheap when u DIY. If you bring items to bike shop, they charge u for labour then LPPL liao. Good luck in your search for the new items.

I am enjoying every moment of my Steed! :bounce:

Anyone knows if we can find similar chrome parts that can make our steeds look like that?http://www.bikez.com/pictures/honda/2002/20158_0_2_4_steed%20400_mybike.jpg

Looks like it is the version for some other countries. Honda bikes have some diff parts for certain models which is only export to some countries.

Just like my XR125, certain countries got original motard version with rear disc barkes instead of drum brakes.

[Troy437]

Anyone can teach me how to remove the plastic cover between the fuel tank and handle bar, which covers the bike frame? I wanna re-arrange some wires and re-position of the horns.

Do I have to remove the headlight to pull out a big plastic clip, before opening the plastic cover?

[Troy437]

Problem solved.

Managed to open and understand how the plastic on Steed locks on.

 

Just spend 4 hours and did the following:-

a) re-position the pair of horns with a new bracket

b) re-arrange the loose wires

c) straighten all bent metal hooks and frames

d) took out the ERP IU and wrapped the old looking IU with black leather (PVC) cover

e) Change the handle grips to all black

d) Tighten all loose screws and replace a few badly rusted ones

 

I love my Steed even more now!!

No idea leh. Mine has cracks too in the centre but it is not eye bothering, so I leave it alone.

I have not gone to look for parts of Steed yet from Eversuccess sparepart shop.

I wanna change the rider footstep, as the last owner skidded and the right foot step gonecase liao.

Is Planet a good place to get Steed cosmetic parts?

Mine cracked there too but some where else is giving a rattling noisec while riding.

 

Sorry Bro. Lost touch with all these accessories' shops for a long time. I rely on my mech to look for parts for me thou' he is lazy to do so. Which is a gd thing so i save money.

[Troy437]

I want to change engine oil and rear drum brakes. The two arrows indicators of the rear drum meeting liao (after adjusting to make it work better), and rear braking still poor...

Anyone can tell me how much they cost (preferrable a break down of the cost of that I won't become kenna 'chop' ?

Is Planet a good choice to go to? The guy I bought my Steed from strongly recommends Planet 'Ah Chong'.

Folks, you may hv difficulties looking for the neck cover as its mostly OOP & OOS. But you can try yr luck with Chiong Aik(Desker Road, for new pieces) or @ scrapyyards like TheBikeYard(Tractor Road) or Ah Ann(Jln Buroh), maybe they hv a few in gd conditions.

This particular part, same as the ones below yr seats, are easily broken @ the stick part where it's attaching to the main frame. It's a 3 part(the neck cover) affixed together, so do becareful when attaching/detaching them.

 

There isnt much cosmetic parts around for Steed anymore, however, waiting patiently & carefully sourcing ard, & you may jus hit the gold.

(FYI, Im selling some Steed accessories... )

You may still find some leftover OEM parts ard the shops, FJT(Rowell Road), Eversuccess(Lembu Road) & CA(Desker Road), but not much..

 

Ah Chong @ Planet is not bad, trustable & reliable, thou sometimes the long wait as influx of ppl... Rosli's nt bad too, bt again, the wait...

I would say nt alot of mechs knows a thing or 2 abt old metric bikes...

I got some original parts from Eversuccess - rider footstep rubber ($18 a pair), rear brake shoes ($30/- Vesrah Made in Japan) and the handlebar lock ($18/-), as the previous owner nv lock for years and dun have the key liao).

I went to my own mechanic who is a real pro as he runs his own mobile truck workshop.

My bike is all serviced.

Except for one last thing, the handle bar lock. I asked the Eversucess guy if I need to remove the fork to change the handlebar lock. He assured me no need, and I just need the proper screw driver. Thats why I bought a new handlebar lock. But in the end, cannot be done w/o removing fork. Regret buying. But dun buy recently ppl play prank on me by pushing my bike out of my lot to 'rob' me of my parking lot.

Anyone changed handlebar lock B4?

[Troy437]

.......but some where else is giving a rattling noisec while riding.

 

 

Mine has the rattling sound too shourtly after pick up...close throttle the sound stop...can oni agar agar it is coming from somewhere below fuel tank and above engine block.

Finally, the noise troubleshooted but not fix yet. It's coming from my exhaust heat shields, somehow it's loose when i throttle.
