hey guys!

 

im currently riding a vespa but im super duper interested in getting a steed! always my dream to ride a customised bike ( saw some of you guys sweet rides) anw i hope to get some help to aid my transition from scooter to bike.

 

some questions i have

1) storage. ive plenty of storage on my vespa for raincoat etc, so how do u guys keep ur stuff?

2) im thinking of customising my steel to look like a HD sportsters iron 883. which model is more suitable? ive no clues whatsoever regarding the different model of steed.

 

last and most impt question, how much should my new steel roughly cost? and where to go for mods?

 

THANKS SO MUCH IN ADVANCE GUYS! hope to get it real soon!!

Firstly,I think if u wanna mod it to like like a Sportster den u should just get a Sportster. They are 2 diff bikes, you wouldn't want to have an identity crisis. As for storage, u can use saddle bags. But for me I only use Ziploc bag when I ride. Price wise can go from as low as $1k to $3kplus depending on model and condition. The VLS springer would be the most ex. I might be able to help u with the mods, but with charges la. Haha

[stickittotheMan]

hey thanks for the reply terrible one.

 

oh i mean i kinda have that kind of design in mind or something like the one that u posted earlier up there. im currently looking for one and awaiting my 2a tp too. when i get it maybe we could meet up and u can help me with the kind of mod that im looking for? thanks again! cheers!

[Terrible One]

U can try calling Jim above. That bike is up for sale again cos the bike shop went on to fix the bike w/o his approval. It's now on running condition. Good deal for a bike with 5 more yrs to go

 

btw, wat Vespa are u riding? 2-stroke or auto?

Woot, vintage vespa! But Steed wasn't a fast bike leh.. Most comfortable speed for cruising is between 80-90km/h only.

haha yeah but mine is a px150 modded to look like a sprint. nomad looking for which kind of vespa?

haha but it's much better than mine. my average speed on the highway is 60km man. zzzzzz. sometimes when i need to go somewhere damn far i'll think twice hahaha. but my biggest consideration is storage. is the saddle bag enough to store one raincoat and like parking coupon etc?

[sambora67]

hi guys , just a question . mine is the older version , not sure but i think the vls with the side covers attached to the top frame (below the seat) ,. It seems that the top frame clips broke therefore the side cover hooks cannot latch on causing it not be aligned and fitted properly, Any rectification for this? Just curious abt it. Advise would be appreciated and u guys have some beautiful steeds here

Aiya den it's not vintage already. A lot if Vespa lover here also. I usually criuse at 80km/h when riding Vespa. Think Sprint74 can ride at 100km/h from Pasir Ris to Tuas. Haha

I will bob mine later as i have another sets of original fenders and tank.

But i'm quite comfortable with my bike now, (I like the bulky look with the saddles attached) but need to add in some colours or designs which i'm still at lost now.

Saddlebags are good storage for bike covers, raincoats , helmets, etc.. They can even have locks on them but the disadvantage is they can be easily damaged or removed by cutters (penknife). Make sure you cover your bike if you're having a pair saddles.. Best is with alarm armed like me Kiasu singaporean!
