All about Steed

[Terrible One]

Did you call the ex-owner?

 

Called, but he didn't answer. SMS him he said was in a meeting. Tells me that he never encountered any problem with the bike before. I ask him if he could settle this for me, can go down to the bike shop to take a look at the bike to make sure that I'm not trying to pull a fast one.. No replies yet.. See hop tomorrow..

Sounds like the ex-owner is trying to push. Would suggest u settle the stalling problem on your own 1st. Safety 1st...

I did view the Harley_1983,it was cheap and stuff,the only thing that prevented me from buying was...........the pics he posted of his bikes were not what i saw in real time.........Its was more like the pics were(BEFORE)(CLEAN

 

Furthermore look at all his posts....his not a regular at the forums....his either advertising or asking for bike prices......so to me his a really good salesman,like at shop:cry:

Hey Musha thanks for intro me Funmasters,already got my front and back tyres done,ah huat told me my rear bearings gone so changed that too,so overall $265 for front and back bridgestones and $18 for the rear bearings.And yea now the bike feels even smoother:thumb:

No worries, Bro. Good things must share.

Worn bearings got to change (ah huat is no spoil, no change type of mech), if not tyres will experience uneven wear.

 

Bridgestones? Hmmm... maybe my nx change i will try BS since they are in F1.

 

Errr... what is eng oil cap? I am using OWS 10W40 now, not bad lah. good enough for my Steed. If u r ok with premium oil, try Motul 7100 10W40, hear that it damn smooth for gear changes.

I was interested too, but i stay in Woodlands & bike viewing in SengKang, too far me

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.

 

 

VSE is newer or older model?

Any idea how much for rear tyre alone?

[MUSHA]

VSE is newer. With rear sports rim.

 

VLX, like my model, is the batch before. Before is NN400 - a classic now.

Bike fixed.. it's just a leaking plug suppressor.. Seller agree to pay for the repair.. Really enjoy the bike now.. Flipped the handlebar risers for a more aggressive stretched out position.. Need to slice the saddle next.. And wash + polish of cos.. Removed the fog lamps and backrest.. Anyone interested in the original Steed backrest can PM your offer to me.. Cheap..

[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?

 

To answer my own question, VLS is a steed which uses a Springer instead of our usual fork suspension. There is a spring looking object near the headlights.

 

VLX and VSE have different looking bodies. VLX has a tank body that joins to the rear fender. VSE's tank body is seperate from its rear fender. See pics of both to understand.

Dear guys,

 

I'd like recommendations on where to get harley type handle bars, risers?

 

And also where to get spare VLS shells covering the bike body (the part with the 'VLS' wording) right below the seat? How much will a pair cost?

 

Thanks!!

And VSE has a solid rear wheel that you can go tubless. Better looking and more reliable too.. Also both models uses different type of handle bar..

Good for you.

When I got my Steed VSE, the seller only emphasize no engine leaks. The bike was really left at his carpark until spider web all over.

But 2 days after I took over, one drop of leak, tot one drop nia nv mind. after 2 weeks, eventually more drops, as I ride only on weekends.

After a month, oil leak patch on e parking lot about credit card size.

6 weeks later, oil leak is shoe print size!! cannot liao

 

I went to fix....cost me $600!!! Heart pain...The bottom crank case have hit hump very badly previously until gasket all loose & leak. When I took over the bike, rear tyre pressure oni 145 when it shd be 250. No wonder the previous hit hump...suay suay I took over and the gasket give way. When I gave it a good degreasing wash, worst...all old dirt blocking the leak cleared and the leak went full out.

 

The mechanic told me parts+gasket+EO+coolant abt $200 plus. The rest all labour which he worked solo full days to fixed in 4 days. I found his his labour was ex...but he is really fixed the prob fast and well.

Although the prob starts 2 days after purchase, I oni found it bad after one month, so I didnlt conact the seller. But anyway it is fixed and no more leaks!

[Kevs]

Hmm.. Contemplating on whether to get a Steed VSE for my dad again...

Since my spares are not moving, might as well mount onto another Steed!

I miss my old VLX...

Brought the bike to my mech(Amir at Gerry Looi) to let him have a look at the engine condition. He gave me a thumbs up. So now I can proceed with the cosmetic mods I have in mind.

Anyone has original rider footpegs for sale?
