Just got the tank from motorcycle shop, happy as child I am.

Mock up on my bike. Well the front do look nice but me and my sifu, lawless do argee seat have to go and fender too....

Well, the tank finding all accredited to my sifu, Lawless. He found it for me. Actually he say that I lucky can found a nice tank with cheaper price. ( luckily my project bike not same with his LOL)

Well after receive the news, we directly head out to get the tank first =x. The we scrap it, clean it , test it and try on my bike.

After check the tank with ol skool way. You fill the tank with water then blow air inside. To check whether got leaking or not. Luckily don't have any WEEEEE. Any other cost saving for me.

Pinstripe my own Bike A Kawasaki Elimintor 175/Modenas Jaguh

On my fuel tank
Back fender
the whole bike look.

Well actually I spray the whole bike black hehehehe.... This actually wat I did before going to PD bike fest. Just to do some cosmetic upgrade....Look Kind of nice to me.

Here some tips from me on how to do pinstripe if you want to add some old skool look to your bike

1) use some masking tape/paper tape to set up your area of work (else I think you will do ever draw out of the area

2) use marker first......ya I know pro use paint....hey you and me are not pro. So use marker first. (use paint when you know how to use marker......)

3) Try it on paper first (at least a few times okie......just to get use to the idea. )

4) Get extra paint stand by.....you goin to nid it trust me LOL.

5) Unleash your creativity heheheheh...

6) spray a clear coat on it.....to make it last =D

Here the photo of my bike.....For me it give me some classical look on it. Have fun trying on your bike or car LOL.

A new mock-up fuel tank for my bike, Kawasaki Eliminator/Modenas Jaguh 175

Well......after all those small small modification time to move up to the major modification. Tank, exhaust and some back fender....( If only I got enuf budget for all this T.T)

Before any major stuff like this, I have to admit play safe is the best way. Therefore I make some mock up tank ( a fuel tank) few design to see which one is cheaper and nicer.

And lastly I pick a HD rapido tank (look alike LOL) cause you know if you are a chopper fan or BBO fan =x else......try Google LOL.

Here some pic of my mock-up tank.Trying to maximize the fuel capacity of the tank. Enjoy.

Modifying My Bike......Jaguh to Chopper, Back fender ; pt 6

First put putty all over LOL

Sand till you crazy ( actually all smooth, you feel it you know lar....) I think I inhale 10 g of putty


well not very happy with my fender, since last modification so I do something again...hehehe

I cut the fender into the shape I want, Make an extra piece at the back so that it join together. And wah la, a arc shape fender.

And of course some grinding at the top of the fender.(if you are a jaguh owner you know)

So I put some putty/cement on to the fender to get the curve/arc shape that is really nice.....(Man that process take me along time to do.....)

First, was shown to me by Lawless INC, since I have no experience with the putty. Second attempt at my own house.....Failed (T.T) , my putty hardener put too less. Third attempt, too much. It hardened so quick that I didn't manage to fill the hole.....WA KAO. Last nice LOL (at least lar. But spend my sifu/mentor putty till finish, and I haven't buy the thing back to him :p)

But I think he sure known that I will finish the putty LOL. Nevermind next project just give him my putty LOL.Final Product, happy and tired me after whole night with fender

So How's the fender?

Modifying My Bike......Jaguh to Chopper, Seat ; pt 5

cut along the bone of the seat
same thing, that is cut along the bone

remove the part that is XXX LOL. and oh try at your own risk. And trim the cushion is too thick ( around 3 cm like tat/ half / according to your preference )

Hell ya......

LOL.....a bit long since I have posting my modification/ DIY stuff. Not a lot of progress lately, since having some financial problem LOL.

Well, well actually I want to cut the original seat. (I will show you how to cut it). But since Lawless Inc, got some nice seat that he cut it already so I just buy from him. Is nice quality anyway.

Oh next post will be back fender.....I know I know .....back fender again. This time the end product will be nicer hehehehe. Just wait and see...

here is the seat that I buy from Lawless......

you see the difference? the seat is thinner and following the line of the bike frame. Well if you going to make a classic type.....don't even try to cut the seat.

Pinstripe.........some DIY items from Lawless INC

here some pinstripping from Lawless INC. Nice izzit it, look so pro hehehe....... maybe some of you wonder why got Reaper? He is in Motorcycle Gang call Reaper. Reaper MG for short. Can't wait for his new design on his new bike.........Just can't wait.

Modenas Jaguh/Kawasaki EL175 's CDI got restriction?

well, after searching the web for few information. There are not many info at the net.

There are two way to tamper with CDI, one cut the wires that CDI programmed to cut your spark plug fires

Second, change CDI to tamper with spark plug firing.....

So I go a head with checking out "cutting wires" part. And the result are, no of the wires are restricting our spark plug......huh. I cut all of the wires LOL. Damn hoping it was a wires that restrict my jaguh speed. Since top speed only 120km/h.

Bah, so I will try to change CDI to kawasaki eliminator 250 CDI or ZX2R 250 or ZZR 250 CDI. Hope to get this part to test on it. Anyone got ? Can I borrow just for few hour hehehe. Some photo for prove that I (stupidly) cut my CDI wires LOL.

Modifying My Bike......Jaguh to Chopper, Uma Racing Boy Carb;pt 5

The overview of the carb.
This is the air mixture screw. Turn counter clockwise to make the mixture lean
Inside view of the carb, the half moon type
the set of pilot jet ( they dont sell per pcs one =.=)

Well, continue with my Bike modification, this post will be talking about carburetor.

A lot of people don't know how to tune their carburetor. Is kind of hard actually but there few thing you need to know basically.

One, air mixture screw. Next pilot jet/main jet and last the slow jet (depending on your type of Carburetor.)

I convert my original jaguh carburetor to a UMA racing carb.

There are two different when change the carb, first more pick up. Secondly,more power. Well as you can see Modenas Jaguh is actually Bajaj Eliminator 175 but the carb jaguh using is Kawasaki Eliminator 125. So the size different is 2mm.....(that a lot, use area to calculate how much you loss) LOL. Bajaj Eliminator use 175 use 30mm carb. Kawasaki Eliminator 125 use 28mm (which is currently ours one)

So I decide to use 32mm carb.......It do take me a lot time, unplug, pluging and testing to tune the carb. But I'm currently happy with it.....

One last thing, start with rich mixture.....if lean you may blow up your engine. A simple rule, see your exshaut head for color scheme / spark plug for fast comparison.

Enjoy the pictures.

Modifying My Bike......Jaguh to Chopper, Going Sentul;pt 2

Well..... I going to post step by step since don't want you guys/gals sleep to read one long post about modifying my bike a standard Modenas Jaguh/Kawasaki Eliminator/Boss.

Next, I went to NKS sentul. The motorcycle/bike accessories shop at Jalan Sentul. Most of the bikers know that place. (okie I give you some direction from KL Sentral. Just take KL Monorail service to the Titiwangsa Monorail Station. Go down, you see a bus station. Just go to the opposite side. Then walk straight till you come across a road on your right. The straight down first thing you will see is motorcycles shop)

I did some lists to buy,

1) forward control
2) Custom signal light
3) brake light
4) handle bar
5) saddle bag
6) 6 inch handle bar riser

OKie...... I actually go on 2 occassion, first time I got the 6 inch handle riser. Latter, I bought item 1,2,3, and 4. Luckily didnt buy the saddle bag at that time since it was too heavy.

Well go back and plug and play the item, heheheh... Do stumble on a small problem on forward control. Go ask my friend to help me out, Lawless INC.

Wa lah........ a bit off different isn't it?

Ask a beautiful model to post on the bike for me LOL.Didn't install the rear signal light and brake light since they nid some modification.
