IF you are referring to the modern suzuki boulevard, then it's an awesome looking ride. modern equipments and sporty styling. Steed on the other side has a classic cruiser look. Boulevard is bulkier or other words, sturdier. If you prefer a sturdy and stout cruiser. Boulevard is a good choice. Steed is slimmer which would be a plus when maneuvering through the traffic. both is running on mono rear shock which means if you ever plan on any future modification, it might come in handy. wheelset of boulevard are tubeless with a smaller front as compare to the steed. Steed's wheelset only has tubeless rear and tubed front, depending on models. other steed models come in tubed for both wheelset. Boulevard is shaft driven as compare to the chain driven steed. depending on your preference. Pros and Cons on either drive technology.

 

All the comments were assuming that you are referring to the new boulevard but if you are referring to the 97 model boulevard:

or Suzuki Intruder

Thanks for the prompt reply bro, was referring to the Suzuki intruder. but my bloody Suzuki car agent pissed me off... Not going to get another Suzuki...

 

With that being said, I believe the classic looking cruiser Steed has more potential and available equipments for customisation. + I'm kinda skinny. Boulevard isn't really my cup of tea.

 

Btw, been searching for a potential steed and so far no luck. just gotta wait patiently then.

why not get a aftermarket mirror? They can be quite cheap if you ain't picky.

[boyvin]

Thank you guys for the input.

Got a pair of mirrors, $10 from Hup Lee Leong, oni 5 minutes away from my hse..heng ah..

but condition not very nice, gotta DIY polish.

[boyvin]

Just to ask around..which shop does carry airfilter for Steed?

It seems out of stock everywhere.

 

Also, got a bro recommend mi to go HKL do wheel balancing, but HKL mechanic tell me cruiser cannot do balancing one..

I was like...stunned!

Can help to verify this?

Or is there any place that can do balancing?

urgent help guys, I found a steed. Engine's fine, but rear shock's kinda gone case. + the header is rust till max. The exhaust also got scratch. How much does it usually take to fix all these?

my opinion is bring to a mechanic u can trust to quote, from there u can work out the finance u need. u feel more at ease when u bring to a trusted mechanic to quote & fix it.

 

the bros here should recommend Rosli.

[xishuo]

i ever heard before that 1 of the steed version is difficult to mod. Is that the vse or the vls? Hope that i didn't get the wrong version.

[devil.L]

dont take it as difficulty, take it as a challenge!
