this thread covers it pretty well

http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/649448-which-province-sellers-or-buyers-to-transfer-green-book/?p=6550928

don't know about CNX but yellow book should be okay (it is accepted in Pattaya) and in Pattaya both foreign seller and buyer must have Res Cert/Yellow book.

you can pick up copies of the forms needed

http://www.ayutthaya.go.th/form/index4.html

the first one (แบบคำขอโอนและรับโอน (แบบ ขส.บ. 10 ท. -11 -ท.)) is the transfer form

the 4th one (หนังสือมอบอำนาจ) is the Power of Attorney (if not going to office in person)

the other choice is order it from

http://thaimotorbox.com/product.php

i used them a few years ago and no problems, although slow to answer emails, but Alvin's

english is fine.

i did this at Jomtien back in July. Next day pick up (make sure you leave the old passport with the application, they gave mine back to me and i got an angry call to bring it back. Of course i apologised for taking it. )

I asked the Australian Emb to issue a letter saying that i was replacing the passport, which they did for free but Jomtien Immi didn't ask for it. If your Emb does it for free, it doesn't hurt to have it!

the shop papa al is refering to is GT Rider (corner of Soi 8 and Tai), i was in there a few days ago and they had something similar (not that i looked to closely!)

X-Speed has also opened up a new shop on 3rd near soi Lengkee, maybe worth a look but probably similar stuff to GT

I have two Givi topboxes and never had a problem with the locking mechanism. What seems to be the problem that you guys have and how is it different with the Shads?

both Givis i have had, the lid has to be perfectly closed otherwise the catch locks into place on the outside (so the key can be turned) but does not actually lock onto the lid on the inside. It is locked but can still open the lid. Also happens if something in the way of the lid catch inside. The other thing i don't like is the hinge pins holding the lid can easily be removed so not very secure (probably same for most boxes).

Both were Malaysian made ones, so don't know if the Euro ones are different.

New shop on corner of 3rd road and soi lengkee, good selection and they fit the boxes on site

K Speed I think the shop is called

thanks. X-Speed

These people usually have a good selection. In Pattaya Tai also. I have a Give and a Shad case. I prefer the Shad for the same reason as taichiplanet, the locking mechanism is a bit more straightforward on the Shad.

Their fb shows the shop Thepprasit but as drift said it is on Pat Tai, on the corner of Soi 8. i might check them out as need a rack for my Yam SX and due for another 'Real' Helmet.

if you go to the main Mityon on the corner of South Pattaya Rd and 3rd Road (Thanon Chaloem Phrakiat) they will have some top boxes. a few years back i bought a rack and case and had it fitted at the one opposite DukCom further down on South Pattaya Rd.

There is also a shop that sell Chinese made ones, maybe they sell others. it is a helmet and motocy shop on the corner of South Pattaya and Ko Phai (opposite Pattaya Tai 16). If you go from the Mityon Shop on Pattaya Tai towards Sukhumvit, it is on the right hand side about 500 meters.

most of the larger Honda shops can do it; the main one on Pattaya Tai/3rd. Head down Tai and the shop opposite Duk Com has some.

Can'r remember if the larger one on Thepprasit Rd has them.

At a guess i would say around THB 3,000 for a rack and small case.

i have a Givi but don't like the locking mechanism (too fiddly), others prefer Shad.

a while back Beardog recommended this one

It's a spare tire. That's why we're laughing at you.

Sent from my LG-D858

i'd imagine driving such a large vehicle, especially across dams and through rivers, would tire the driver very much so why would someone want a spare tire! As the vehicle itself is already exhausted, i'd suggest what is needed is uppers not downers; just like this forum sometimes.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!

For some reason I thought it was on next week!

For the first time in decades I missed it.

Bugger.

what a race to miss! it should be renamed the Bathurst Gymkhana Smash-up Derby 1000!

we won't tell you the results just in case you want to download a torrent and watch all 7 1/2 hours of it.

BTW thanks OldAussie, that link was great. My dodgey Astro feed did disappear and watching it on yahoo was a life saver.

Last year i watched it with Chinese commentary!

I couldn't find a stream for the top 10 shootout today so I ended up paying the $14.00 for the v8supercars.com stream.... missus will be pissed tomorrow when I plug the computer into the loungeroom TV for the day !!

Good idea. Hope my internet speed will support it without endless buffering

Looks like ustream is a goer.

http://www.ustream.tv/channel/supercheap-bathurst-1000-2014

Weird.

Working for you and mine still says off air.

Speedcafe has live blog, but no video

How's the v8supercars.com stream working out?

i couldn't get ustream to work either.

try http://livetv.sx/en/eventinfo/262748_v8_bathurst/

the first one has Spanish commentary but good video (the ones marked as being in english don't work)

interesting that Schumaker's injuries are being blamed on the helmet camera; something to think about if you mount one when riding.

back on topic. for pottering around town i think Real Helmets (full face) are adequate. Still can't find how they got the ECE rating (to get this rating it has to be tested while DOT is self-certified)

http://www.real-helmets.com

Can check if helmet is certified for UK

only stream i can get working is in Spanish! But watching on Astro Supersport 2 while my crppy satellite connection holds.

hopefully some of the streaming websites will show it. i found a listing on livetv.sx (starts at 5.30am!) but

last year it wasn't streamed. A pity AustPlus/Network doesn't show it

the best finish would be ceramic coating, then it never dulls, probably expensive but worth it. maybe powder coating, but would that stand up to the heat?

seems to be mixed views on whether powder coating would handle the heat, while ceramic can handle upto 2000F

maybe powder coat the outside of everything except the cylinder head. the cyl head bead blast and paint with a high temp silver (if such a thing exists in Thailand as a good quality high temp paint! i guess the same can be said for correct application of ceramic and powder coatings!!)

i had a GB400 done up here, the alloy bottom end was polished and clear coated which looked good. Don't know if it would hold up over time but it should. They made a mess of the cylinder head though, by painting it with ordinary paint. As soon as i saw it i knew it would burn off, which it did.

an interesting blog on powder coating

maybe not so weird for thailand but weird for me. A couple of years ago driving down Sukhumvit in Central Pattaya in moderately heavy Saturday morning traffic. i was sticking as far left as possible, not something i like doing but my pillion would give me a thump between the shoulder blades if i drove too fast or do something deemed remotely wrong. Just flowing with the traffic when a Honda CRV on red plates next to me decides to prop and cut across to stop at a 7. Luckily there was enough room to violently swerve towards the parked cars and squeeze through. Without thinking i hit the horn. I check the mirror and see him stopped in the middle of the road, i kept a watery eye on him and then after a little while he takes off. So i was ready for him when he tried to force me off the road. Okay, not so weird so far. The passenger window is down and he is screaming something in Thai (later translated to me as "Do you want to die or what!!) and waving a silver revolver around. At this stage my legs get a little shakey! He continuely tried to get across to me, but luckily there was a baht bus going slow (that is weird!) so i kept it between us. Even when we pulled into the Highway Patrol complex, he stopped and waited for a while. BTW the cops just laughed when we told them what happened, didn't even want to try and look into it; typical. i later found out that probably what set him off was that my pillion gave the guy the middle finger. At least whenever pillion gave me a hard time about my driving style, i could retort with "the only time we were nearly killed was because of you!"

hopefully this is correct!

Is this model available in Thailand? Its perfect for mounting a large transport box on the rear for shopping.

The only similar bike (without pillion seat) i know of is the Ryuka Classic2.

the jr motor website shows it, and they also show a conversion kit but the rack is slightly higher

http://www.jrmotor.com/Dream110i.html

http://www.jrmotor.com/Dream-Super-Cub-cus.html

I'm after an aftermarket rear seat to fit on the rack.

Anyone know where to buy?

Honda don't sell and neither does gt rider on Pattaya tai.

20140914_085845.jpg

can only find sets of seats and not sure if will fit your bike. an upholstery shop should be able to make one for you; a few years back i used one in Soi Siam Country Club, just before the railway line
