All those who like to steal parts from bikes are all CHEAP bastards...CHEAPOS!! I wish I could kick all their asses

My right fairing was stolen!! Anybody have right side NSR SP fairing to sell cheap? I only need 1 piece which has big air-flow hole (middle, right side). If can, an used one coz I want to respray it (black). Quote the price please.

Any tips to prevent my fairing being stolen again next time?

Thanks!

U know what I did?? I fixed an alarm so that whenever anyone touches my bike, the alarm will sound

I park my bike behind OUB public cark park at geylang east central... I go to OUB at lunch time, got a long queue, so it is about 30 minutes, when I went back and I wanted to kick start, suddenly I feel that the fairing was gone!
The OUB Geylang East Central is opposite of Geylang Meth Primary School...

Hey, where you buy that alarm, how much? Is it aloud enough to scare culprit?
Can give me more info abt this alarm? I want to buy one...

Thanks!

Fix a real gd alarm... At least when ppl who tries to steal something he/she'll panic... This will also alert ppl who're nearby(those kaypo ppl)& they might help u call the police too...

anyway...maybe take out ur fairing...so nobody can steal them unless they break into ur house. just joking~

Psycho V SG

the stickers are sold for M$60++ in a Shopping Centre in Malacca. The stickers are made in Thailand.

For respray, remember dun go to Hock Kim Leong at Bukit Merah. Charge mi $320 for respray single color.

He told me iz top quality paint but the lacquer damn soft, i brush across can scratch liao.

sakaratulz SG

Today I bought the fairing from ah boy at $28, then bought 10 pieces of allen key screws. Next week want to buy alarm some more from the same shop at $20 (one with battery).
I sprayed the fairing black using pylox, now can already... but the surface is not as good as original, but quite shiny...

So, anyone know how to polish with lacquer? Where got sell? Is it spray one or sweep one? Dangerous or not if kena skin?

Thanks!

sakaratulz SG

think they use spray one, sweep mainly for wood surfaces. the spray any hardware shop got sell one. if u got sensitive skin then all types of finishing dangerous lor Smile

if you brush on the lacquer, you will not get an even and smooth coat.

best is to use spray, but then spray not easy lah, then must use alot of bottles to do. then if do bo ho sei, start from zero again; song ah! Very Happy

2 days ago I succesfully sprayed the fairing black using pylox.. nice surface.. I could see my own reflection on the surface..
But, then yesterday I sprayed with coating but it ruined everything.. one big bubble drop from the tin to the fairing!! so I tried to remove it with tissue.. but the tissue stick to the fairing.. damn!!..

.. So I used dagger to remove the bad area and scrub it with sand paper.. then I sprayed and did coating again.. but the result is worse... can see a divider between the previous paint and the new paint..
From afar ... ok lah.. unnoticable ...

Guys, u all must buy alarm from ah boy next week.. it just cost $20 (with AAA or AA battery I forgot) can detect vibration..

If more people in SG uses alarm.. less thieves will be...

zhenzhen_11 SG

sure or not?? Ah boy got sell vibration detectors??

i got a alarm done in Msia, but the sensitivity not very good..

if Ah Boy alarm cheap, i might go buy.. go check out now... Smile

LexZEUS SG

Hey anyone out there sprayed their entire bike fairing by themselves before? I'm going to attempt to do it and spray it all silver, so i tried only on my grab rail first, then realised that the paint started to crack after a month bcos the lacquer wasn't even. Somemore where got so much space at my hdb multistorey carpark to put all the fairings while they dry? anybody got any experience u can share>?
