scoot's guide to some "cheap" cafe racer mods

[scooticus_imp]

now, here is where i would say what are the mistakes and what to improve on as from experience :

0. You will have to thread carefully as there would be local customs and taxes for item purchases. In general ( if you are from Malaysia - it's 30% import duty + 10% sales tax ) <-- you have been warned.
1. I had the privilege of having a good, honest and reliable mechanic who works in the shop i got the bike from. That alone saved me a whole lot of trouble from doing all the mods myself. Mechanics like him is pretty hard to come by ( in Malaysia ). Hence, if you find one... it's pretty much for life.
2. You will not need the front brake adjuster bolt as it is exactly the same as the factory unit. The difference is just the colour and nothing more.
3. an engine guard is an absolute must. Here is the link to my next would be purchase : [url=http://www.samurider.com/?p=18453]engine guard
4. The reason i am not going for short fenders both for the front and rear is primarily because it rains ( a whole lot ) down here in Malaysia. As much as i would like to remove the rest fender to make way for a cleaner cafe racer look. i would have to put into consideration other cars and bikes on the road as well.
