I got my paint job done at Planet Motors after my first major skidding, which left a huge dent on my fuel tank. It cost me $160 to spray my fender, tank and knock out the huge dent. they even gave me a replacement tank and fender so that i would not have any down time while waiting for the job to be done...

 

I dont know how much it costs for the paint job alone, but in my opinion $160 to Knock out a dent that huge and a brand new paint job is very worth it. Many bike shops i went to initially quoted me $100 plus just to knock out the dent alone...

how much and where u fix yr headlight and fog light ? i interested to get it done...

Got the headlight for $35, and the pair of foglights and the bracket for $35 from LAB. Both prices include installation fee.

 

However, the foglights arent really the real damn bright type. And the casing for both the foglights and headlights are plastic.

Hey... i cant remeber the brand or the exact type of bulb its called leh, cos i threw away the plastic box it came in as soon as i installed it.

 

I know that its definately not a H4 bulb, cos ah chong advised me against getting one, he said it will melt the plastic reflector inside the headlight...

 

Anyway, i havent installed it on my spotlights yet leh... because i'm thinking of putting red bulbs, but i dont know where to find that man... even asked my friend to ask in jb but also dont have... so u guys have any idea where i can get headlight-sized red bulbs?

Anyway, I really havent done anything major lah.. just custom wrapped my seat to suit my paint job, did some DIY spray painting of accesories, and got another pair of spotlights (which i'm looking for red light bulbs to install into)...

 

Any idea where i can get red lightbulbs? Anyone? I'm starting to wonder if headlight-sized red lightbulbs even exist...

I was recently browsing through an old issue of a local bike magazine called 'Motor Culture', and came across an article about a heavily-modded LOCAL TA150. It was so heavily modded that it almost looked like a Gold Wing!

 

Anyway, I noticed that the featured TA150 had been installed with a belly-pan like the type on sportsbikes. Any idea how much a belly-pan for a phantom costs? and where to get one?
