All about Steed

[Don Juan]

Sold my Wife's Steed this week. Very sorry to see it go but needed to make room for her new ride.

 

This was the second steed I've owned in the last 6 years and I would own one again given the space and cash.

 

Good luck to the new rider - this bike still has many good kilometers left in her.

 

 

Dude, your wife cleared her class 2 already?

Dude, your wife cleared her class 2 already?

 

No and so she's not real happy that it sold so fast. Her test is next week, I hope she passes otherwise I will really be in the doghouse.

 

But the buyer offered the cash we wanted and was well into bikes so we are happy this particular Steed will ride on for a while.

Hope your wife passes dude.... i think should not be a prob for ladies, they always close 1 eye. Ask her to go for 1 or 2 self-prac before the test to calm the gitters. My fingers are crossed for her....

Steed bros,

 

I'd appreciate it if you could enlighten me on:

- the difference between VSE and VLE

- how much does it cost & where to re-chrome a steed

- how much to respray 1 base colour & place to recommend?

- where should I look for mod headlights for steed

- where should I look for mod handle bars (harley T-bar type) for steed

- average maintenance cost per month for steed (servicing and EO top up)

 

 

Thank you!

[bigfatfish]

HI Bro who wants to mod. i think go down Rosli to see him would be a good bet. I think there might still be a very good steed in his workshop, not sure if it's still there. Try your luck. the Steed is a VSE over there.

Sorry Im not quite sure on the pricing of chroming or respraying the bike.

 

For mods, you can try http://www.pinkphantom.com or look for madman.

Otherwise, there's nothing much locally anymore, may have to order over the webby from overseas...

Im selling some Steed's parts, interesed?

 

The average maintenance is not that ex. Normal due servicing, change EO(Fuchs semi syn) + EO filter(OEM Jap), spark plugs(NGK, was told same as Phantom??) would set me back abt less than $80.

Was using K&N air filter. Coolant was using Engine Ice.

 

The ex part, IMO, would be the chain, front and rear sprockets, for OEM of cos.

Tires pricing are still ok.

 

FC wise, mine was said as reasonable. I manage to clock almost 200+km before reserve.

Hi All

 

I'm selling my steed. glad to have experienced a steed ride.

bike is doing good, but laidup. yes laidup at NTU

call me at 98180226 for viewing.

 

bike e-starts without a problem. comes with a fan on top of the liquid coolant. everything working fine, thanks to rae's good care of the bike.

 

bike is really heavy/large turning radius. 2B riders do take note.

I do hope im one of those who can buy a lot of bikes and cars to work on.

but i realise that there's a trade off for spending time with the bike, no wonder they name their bikes after wives.. in anyway we DO ride them wth

Glad you warn ppl the bike is heavy. No one told me. Shortly after I got my Steed, I went up slope and tried to U-turn down on the slope. Farking big mistake.

 

Btw you Steed is VLX, VSE or VLS?

Which year bike? FM - FP? COE till?

How much you selling for?

[econbizer]

Thanks Bros for the great info! I read the histories, but still not certain.

 

From valuation & quality perspectives, how do VLX v VSE v VLS match up?

eh bro, 1 thing that applies across to any bikes: Dont do a U-turn on a slope.

[Terrible One]

Hi guys! just bought a 2nd hand Steed from harley_1983 today. collecting on Tuesday(hopefully).. Finally riding a cruiser again, my first bike was a Honda Rebel 125.. anyone letting go 1" bars or risers? I'm not comfortable with the setup right now.. The risers are low so the bars have to be tilted up, i don't like upsweep.. if anyone has any for sale or exchange please do let me know.

 

And what are the price range for rear tire? It's due for replacement already.

 

I'll be stripping the foglamps, backrest, tail light chrome garnish and the eagle on the front mudguard. if anyone interested in those PM me your offer.

 

Pics here

 

Cheers!

mine's vlx, STEED400NC26.

 

FL plate. selling for 1155. basically im selling the bike plate number haha

COE till 30th Sep 2012. It's on layup, no roadtax.

 

outlook wise it's subjective to one's opinion.

 

i would like to add on that:

the temp wires are loose so after bike gets into high rev temp light will come on. front signal lights are cable tied on so need to replace. there's a nonfango box on monokey rear mount rack [so it's really ah pek ugly] cleaned the bike just now very satisfied took it for a ride just now. maybe those havent rode steed should come down give it a try. dont need register/declare income dont need to pay. okay im going too over here *faint*

Nah.. It's a BMX company I started back in 2000.. I really admire X-iled's work, so I figured it'll prob be a good idea not to put any of my decals on my motorcycle..

 

Here's one of my t-shirt

Actually all the Steeds are the same in chassis n engine. The only diff is in the tailboard n rear rims. And there is one model with the double forks wic is very very rare but one of my supplier owns one and die die won't sell. Try to get the newer models better. U might wanna consider the Shadow Slasher wic is very close to a Steed but in my opinion better looking.
