fatbastard68 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 I just got back from Bangkok,went to one of the shops that had a display at the Bangkok Bike Fest,I wanted to pick up a set of Metzlers ME 880's didn't have them and said it could take months to order them. He suggested paddock's I tried them and they were really expensive 8350 rear and 4850 front Are they taking the periss or is this really the going rate. At least they have them in stock Any suggestions lads????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbastard68 Posted June 9, 2009 Author Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Thanks Allan, Fraid they're the wrong size , still gonna call him in the morn ya never know! I'm looking for tubeless front 100/90 19" and rear 160/70 17" Anyway, I had a look on denniskirk.com they priced front $108 and rear $158 thats $264 total=9,049 TBHT not including shipping so Paddock's prices are beginning to look better. Just hope they are tubeless,just don't want to get called to this emissions test and fail over a set of tyres!!!!

I meant that I've been waiting for 3 months now to go for the bike check/emissions test for the registration/plate/greenbook. "If" I were to get the call tomorrow, I'd need to be pretty swift to get the new tyres sorted in time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaicbr Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) AHHH Ok. A new import bike. what is it? If it's a bike already sold here in Thailand why do you have to get it emission tested. As far as i was aware even if its a grey bike but new it does not need testing. as long as its the same spec as sold here already. Also this guy has pirellis...http://www.mocyc.com/store/view.php?idclassified=148568 Allan Edited June 9, 2009 by thaicbr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaicbr Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Livin. If you can get papers from Truimph to state that its the same spec as that sold here in Thailand. why would you need to emissions test a unit that already has emissions test on file. I can not believe for 1 minute that EVERY new bike and car is emission tested each time. Maybe Richardbkk can shed some light...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont know but I doubt Triumph would be over helpful with grey import ?? I saw an 06 (??) 1050 current model go for sub 150k baht here in uk..

thaicbr Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 But in the UK its not a grey import so you ask for confirmation there about the specification then bob's ya uncle, fanny's ya aunt........ maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
