Looking For Parts................

[thequietman]

hi guys,

sorry if this has been covered.

looking for parts to spruce up my bike. now I know this bike has been refered to as a "turd" and you can't polish a turd but I would still like to make it look a little better.

I have seen plastic alluminium looking covers that can go over the forks at the front of the bike. looks like metal and beefs the bike up a little.

also the light on my bike is like a candle at night and I have seen a large front lite with 2 little lights attached as one unit. once again alliminium looking. nice foot rests for me and passenger also. maybe a crash bar but with somewhere to rest my feet on it on long journeys. also a nice passenger back rest.

I have been told I will find all this and more in Chiangmai. Its about 3 hours from me. is there any where I can order stuff online in thailand.

any other suggestions on how to make the bike look better ( apart from burning it ) is appreciated.

Its a Honda Phantom. (I know, I know, but I like it and its been good to me.) I am near Phrae.

thanks in advance.

The light is easy get a Xenon bulb. Available at most motorbike accessory shops. If yours is 35/35 get the same if it is 55/55 get the same. Then you won't overlaod the old wiring/switches etc. but you will still get twice as much light for the 3hr ride home.

Go to mocyc.com and click on some of the advertisers.

I've been doing the same - looking for bits.

But - oddly enough - came across this only yesterday.

Ignore the costs of posting, he has a shop in BKK and everything i sent at local EMS rates.

I don't know if he's any good at getting used bits . . . I sent him an email but he hasn't rushed to reply, tho he would only have got it this morning (Saturday).

Cheers

I also ride the "Turd", given me almost 6 years sterling service from new. I fitted a different seat, and saddlebags, a couple of small spotlights on the front and crashbars. All available locally here in Phitsanulok. Chiang Rai saddlebags have a range of different products if you google it they deal by EMS. Good luck and ignore the knockers lol.
