rakchaingmai Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 I'm going to buy a honda phantom next week off my friend just would like to know what good mods can i do to it to make it look better and drive better. Can it be chopped or is it not worth it for a 200 cc bike would it ruin a perfectly good bike as i have had one a couple of years ago and it was sweet but i like to tinker around with bikes .

Shocktreatment Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 No need to chop it just get a off set triple tree and some fork slugs and you are good to go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soihok Posted May 29, 2011 Share Posted May 29, 2011 The best thing for a Honda Phantom is to chop it indeed,,,,into loads of pieces with a chain saw and weigh it in for scrap. Then the money can put towards saving up for a motorbike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

floridaguy Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 I do also. Not the greatest bike, but I gets you around for cheap, and is reliable. It also was the number one big bike in Singapore because it was so easy to get a license to drive, compared to other big bikes. Anyway, my chopped Phantom is the only one I have ever seen in Thailand. Now, my chopped Steed I see different versions all over Thailand. I say, chop the Phantom, there is only one other out there that I know of, and that is mine. yes, they do not produce it anymore.

Riggi Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 <br /><br />yes, they do not produce it anymore.<br /><br /><br />Is it true they stopped manufacturing them (TA200's) in March last year?<br /><br /><br />I wonder why?<br /> My understanding is that it didn't meet the new emissions laws. Honda presumably decided the cost of making it meet the new emissions laws was not worth it. I'm hoping they bring out a replacement with a slightly bigger engine. I love my TA200, but a 250 or even a 400 would be better for climbing some of the hills around Chiang Rai and cruising at highway speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPI Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Why not swap it for a "Boss" with extended forks? Not only will it look "butch" it'll also go like s@#t off a shovel! Like mine! (even though it's only a 175...4 stroke) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
