can help me find the handle grip attached in this picture ?

I believe those are Kuryakyn grips. Dunno of got cheong one in Thai or not. But if u want the real stuff, its easily available via online purchase.

just a word of caution: poorly made mirrors will vibrate badly on a TA200, resulting in blur images...

 

that's one of the reason why I have not modded my mirrors till now, coz the stock TA200 mirrors are pretty good in resisting vibes. Those cheapo ones really cannot make it.

Wah kao alex.... same as my grips what! Macham like never see before.

 

Original ones cannot fit stock handlebar. Must go modify a bit to fit. Original Kuryakyn I ordered for US$48. You can probably get at Sunhogs here but don't know how much.

 

Got similar cheong ones but the rubber grip is thin and not as soft.

Also, many of these mirrors are purely ornamental and really unsuitable for riding in sg where traffic is heavier than on american suburban roads.

ok. pointed noted. thanks!

no wonder my mirror often see things blur blur one.... previous owner change mine to a mini mirror.... it sometimes vibrate a lot and since its so small, i got a lot of blind spot to take care of...

seems like loads of negative comments about changing mirrors. might not be changing it afterall then.

Madman...

 

hope this trip u can bring back the latches for the saddlebags i ordered last time... i believe size small...

 

i also interested in the brackets... will info u when u update the price... but can pay u on this Sat 15th?? cos payday is then... :sweat:

[madman]

AhXiong, got the saddles fixed already. I bought all the saddles I ordered the last time wif me.

 

Be back on Fri. just gimme a call when u wanna collect.

The chorme brackets costs just over $30.

 

Your bike alright already?

 

5121, neber see pic yet wanna buy liao ah? It not that cheap ah...let u know much later, forget to bring the file with me. Shd be ard 90+ I think...

 

Shiraz, as mentioned, this is a specially custom made apebar. measured from bottom to top(where handle start to bend) is 15-16" high. The bend itself is another 3" more, before it bend downwards for the grips.

 

Bottom (riser there) to top (end of grips there) is 17".

 

Grips and riser area is 1" or so, and the rest of the bar is 2" thick, so it looks darn big! It's one pc, and not welded at the joints also, thus is slightly more ex than the standard 1" width handlebar. Cost is SGD$130.00

 

Only 1pc left. To custom make again, will take about 1 month.

[raphael]

madman, how's the enquiry on 66" inch breakhose and solo seater

[shiraz]

sheesh 2inch thick! now i get the pic after drawing a TWO inch circle on a paper! lol... errr... let me get back to u ya..

 

oh ya btw, any normal apes around? not those fatty bars like the one u saw? possibly of the same shape and all only that it's 1inch all around... 2 inches are sweet but then the weight must be even sweeter! hmmm $130 including the shipping?

[madman]

Hideki45. Yes there is single seater. But, have different types.

 

1) Original seat cutup into 2 pcs. Can attached togther or as solo seat. And rewrapped as those you see on my webby.

 

2) Indian type Solo seat, exact replica of the indian seat, from what I was told. Price, will update when I see the actual thing tomorrow.

 

3) Single seater, smaller than our stock seat, but much cheaper, as it is sort of "chiong" type.

 

4) Brakehose already enquired for you, but as I meet the supplier late (10pm), so no chance to do. You want how long also can do. BTW, it's chrome cable, dun have black one. How? TML noon then will know how much, will try to call you, but my phone batt dying...need to find charger...

 

AhXiong It's slightly above $30, and yes, for both sides. Chromed, metal...that's all I know. I already bought a set. I'll get another set for you.

 

5121 That's why i say see photo 1st. This grip are very much diff from the ones you see b4, not those LAB/Auntie type. Not even close to it. At 1st look, already look damn ex, and comparable to those yo so called professional bah.

ya u better see the pic first.... i am interested also but hearing the price for the grip, i ... i wanna do up my bike a little but for e grip...

[madman]

Just to inform you guys, I usually dont bring in those common types you can get at LAB/Aunties....Only the unique ones can make the cut.

 

This trip has been very fruitful, wif many new items found. Going to visit the factory, and will see even more stuffs...so many till I confused and cant cope with.

 

Just the crashbar for TA200 already has many many types...some butterfly shape (lastest designs one)...confirm you wont see in SG.

[5121]
