Thats cool as fuck, not too keen on all those linkages for the steering though.

I don't see how you avoid getting burned on the exhaust unless you ride it sidesaddle

So what about the front brake..?
Apart from getting it painted did you upgrade it in anyway?
It would be a shame to see all that cosmetic work go to waste because you ran out of road.

new brake shoes and rebuilt forks.

On the shopping list is upside forks and twin discs, with the ban on importing bike parts it is proving somewhat hard to find what I want locally.

what happens if you buy used bike parts from ebay? would you expect these to slip through the net?

50/50 on what comes through but will be trying that when the right parts come up.

No problem at all - never had anything go missing, as long as you use USPS or whatever national postal service the country has. Private mail handlers (FedEx, DHL et al are crooks here).

Would you say TNT are the same.
You don't have a account then you get reamed.
I have accounts TNT,Fedex & DHL & find them OK they have been good with the duty.

What ban ?, still shipping bike parts in as normal as I have done for many years, worse experience was with DHL

Yes, quite a few. I always insist on USPS Priority from the US.

I usually get charged about 5 to 7 baht for tax. The only time I got charged more (a few hundred) was on a set of carbs.

read something bout it in the paper a few months ago, good to hear you can still import parts.

I'll start looking for a new front end.

Fedex, UPS and DHL do not have your best interests at heart when it comes to how much import duty is applied to a package. This is because they kickbacks from customs.

^ Ouch

Engine will be going to OZ to have a 500 crank/rod/piston fitted along with some lumpy camshafts.


To answer Katana Iam looking at a set of USD forks with twin discs.

Why start with a SR 400 when you would like a SR 500

Find me one with a book but do not bother listing the one on Bahtsold.com for Bt.300,000 as that is atleast Bt.150,000 over priced.
