NomadJoe Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Oh what happened to katabeachbum? i thought his comments were funny sometimes Still in jail. Photoed here with police volunteer Lars-Goran Dikander who passed away last week. (No, he never bought a bike from me.) http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/734861-phuket-body-in-bin-hearings-postponed-to-november/ what a story! phuket sounds like a dangerous place! No more so than the rest of Thailand. So the guy who I thought had my old bike (and thus my old green book, a copy of which would prove a paid off the loan and eliminate the need for a Thai garuntor) in his rental fleet said he had it stolen by a Ukranian using a fake passport. Anyway, he claimed he bought it directly from Kawasaki, but I swear it was the same number plate. Now I go down to Krungsri to shake a document out of them showing I paid my loan off. It's a TIT thing, but the finance people do not have access to that information as "it's a different department." But surely they must be able to provide me a document proving I paid off the old loan which I can then give to their own company's loan approval department.

ntv69 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 (edited) really surprised for 6000 thb rim set! they ask 4000 - 5000 thb for a new set of good rims for my Honda wave125x! Picked it up at Big Wing Pattaya Today! I added the Moth Racing Sliders and rear spool adaptors as well as a r&g rad cover. I payed 8500 baht for the 2nd set of rims in black.

Sent from my HTC One using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app 1 other question , what is the fuel economy and how many kilometres on a full tank of fuel I get around 16 km per lit in bangkok but riding aggressive. If you be careful a bit close to 19 - 20 km/l is possible. Open roads i exaggerate things but if you ride around 120 kph, you can get around 22 - 23 km/l according to the reviews which i never see. It is still economical. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like your seat cover, is it the same red? check k speed and some other big bike shop websites from cbr650f thai forum or mocyc.com. they have tailtidies as low as 1300 - 1700 thb. and all of them are fine. regarding seat cover, a guy in Hua Hin is making them custom so he can do any color. price 2900 thb. mud guard is like 2400 thb but get the 'phoenix' brand only as it is mounted from two sides of the swing arm and very sturdy, no rattle or shake. after installing the mud guard, no road dirt on my seat of gfs back and if you get the tail tidy, it is a must as rear tire was throwing a lot of dirt to the back, even to my neck and helmet. take it easy though until you get adjusted to Thailand again.

Dakling Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 I was in my truck today following someone on a cb650f. It looked good but there was one thing that looked funny to me. The bike had a tail tidy and no plate so the whole rear wheel was easy to see. The rear wheel looked really fat but small in diameter. I know its a 17 but it looked oddly short and fat on the bike. Might have been from the angle I was looking from. The header pipes also looked good but I could only see those in my mirror after I passed the bike.

I will remove the mudguard once the rains are over sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ntv69 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 (edited) Was at bigwing yesterday and lots of riders there. Noticed another full system this time from 'Performance Thailand' They say 22k and 5 percent increase in performace - dyno tested and proven. Talked with the owner. He showed me dyno sheet. Also it sounds good. Not loud but a nice tone. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app That looks like a Two Brothers knock off for the can eh? Sc Project says there are releasing exhaust next week. Not sure if it will be under swing arm style or what. Hopefully will be similar to there ER-6N systems.
