BSJ Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) I had forgotten about this thread! The gods of motorcycling gave me a reminder I was getting older...and to take heed! Was good while it lasted! So it was something sensible next. But occasionally I feel the need for speed. So my sons old CBR600 (Candy Red) gets a run. That's him on it at a recent ride day. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . But in my heart I really want to be riding something like this. Oh yer! PS: Yer, I know I am crazy!

Zzinged Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Ok, if this thread is resurrected, I will join it: Hey LoneRider, I've been looking for a set of clocks for my XJR. I need to replace em as they got damaged in a lowside. I can't seem to find any in Bangkok though and Red Baron want something like 10,000 to import a set from Japan. Have you got any suggestions?

Garry Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 OK. I am hereby resurrecting this thread from the dead. It is a cool topic, and in the past 3 years, I know that alot of us have gotten new bikes. So therefore, I decree this thread "raised from the dead" and I am ordering everyone to put updated pics of the bikes that they ride!!!!! Nothing wrong with thread necromancy, especially for a good reason. Best I post up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sailaway2000 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Honda GL400, Dead on reliable, solid, easy to work on if needed and inexpensive for a 400 cc bike. Plenty of low end torque and can ride 120-130 kmph with no problem all day if needed. Love it!!!! You can pay a whole lot more but not have a lot more bike. You need an 750-1200cc monster bike? Really? In Thailand? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really? In Thailand? Really? Its not about what you need, unless you have a specific job to do with your bike. Its more to do with what you like, personal choice so to speak. All the guys here have different tastes and whether its an expensive foreign import or a locally made step through scooter, what the hell, just enjoy yourself, ride safe and take in all the great places that are available to us in LOS.

I need to replace em as they got damaged in a lowside. I can't seem to find any in Bangkok though and Red Baron want something like 10,000 to import a set from Japan. Have you got any suggestions? If Red Baron can get you a set for 10,000B that's cheap. A good used set goes for between 3-500 GBP in the UK. K-speed have the chrome covers, the black plastic cover and the white internal bit for a few hundred Baht each. I bought these and they do fit although you have to poke through a hole for the oil level light. The front plastic cover is ridiculously expensive, 150 GBP, I got one for 25 GBP delivery off ebay and a cover starting at 10 GBP recently didn't sell. Complete clocks are available from China on Ebay from 150GBP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BSJ Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 That looks like an 80's Oz spec CV500 V twin with shaft drive.....except smaller....being a 400 as mentioned! The ones we got in Oz had a chromed bore which was unique at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
