I wonder if it would be difficult to replace the handlebar grips... the grips that comes with my bike are no different to sections of pvc pipe...

[thenation]

No, its an easy job. You can DIY or just bring the grips you want to change to to any motordiam.

u see the screw at the side? if can take out yourself, easy to change with an + screwdriver. I tried myself, too difficult because very tight. Also have to remove the throttle black part.. which is a simple job

Got my new grips... the era of "sports cruiser" begins...

 

All this nonsense began with an uncalculated purchase of a blue fullface helmet... and my phantom is black with black accessories. When an ahpek ride pass me he commented some hokkien profanities and then I realised that I probably looked like a ****...

 

argh so must do damage control! I can put boxes and crash bars on cruisers while the bike still looks ok... but it looks odd with me wearing lots of gear... only if I was riding a sportsbike...

 

and so I have decided, I shall take the best of both worlds...

 

started with blue/black handlegrips

 

end of story

 

the brand is pro grip, box says made in italy, the grips themselves got molded words saying made in italy, comes with a little manual/brochure with pro grip's website... But I'm still sceptical... the grips + labour to fix it on cost only $10? Thats seriously under my expectations... I still think that those are "chiong" ones... any comments on this? anyway I bought them from ah boy...

[SNapEl]

lol ah boy... nuff said

I'm planning to continue to zheng my bike. Ultimate question:

 

If I attach a piece of plastic on the chassis at the bottom of the bike where the engine/clutch/gearbox is, would the plastic melt? Or do I have to use something to isolate the heat such as... mounting tape to keep my addition parts from melting?

[Hydher]

madman, can pm me. Where to mount the rear highway bars? got to see if it will go along with my saddlebags and a pair of foglights(not spotlights) for my crashbar and the price. thanks.

[jtzx]

wow.. not untill i view his picture album, i could not believe that phantom can mob till that cool and style.

[VidaK]

"mob"... lol...

 

Yea his bike is very nice, but I prefer a more alternative style! muahahaha...

r u talking abt belly pan juz like the Super4 having? there isnt a need to isolate the heat as phantom engine is not tat hot.

[VidaK]

still, phantom's wheelbase is kind of long... so lessening the ground clearance maybe isn't such a good idea after all... thanks anyway

[jtzx]

those parts madman get to mob can be bought in to singapore? is it sold in any shop in town?

[VidaK]

LOL

 

well... madman sells them himself, contact him via sms or email... although he haven't answered me for sometime already... probably he is busy recently
