kuyaoli, I like the looks of the chain guard thing mounted to the top of the swingarm. I am not really sure what it does functionally, but it looks better than the thing we get here in the USA.

That billet rack looks nice, but doesn't look very well supported. I want to be able to load up my bike for trips, so I went with the cyclerack. It costs a lot more than most of the other options, but it is really strong and takes a lot of the weight off of the subframe, which has been known to not be super strong.

now as you mention it, yes it seems that here in Thailand we get a different upper chain guard then in the US and Europe. On my other bikes I usually removed that one completely. But this one is so small, it doesn't bother me at the moment...

btw very happy with the sargent seat
he he he, same same here. Did you order it via Autocom Singapore? Did you pay also taxes when it arrived here in Thailand? I thought since Singapore is part of the ASEAN there would be no need to pay taxes but they charged me an huge amount.

Got from solomotoparts.com usa & it turned up in 7 days flat from pulling the paypal trigger!!! The guys at solo are very good. They put a value of $70 on the outside shipping invoice stuck to the box by recorded USPS & got a 600thb tax bill to pay at post office.....I was pleased with that!!

I'm lucky to have a very relaxed local post office, 8 times out of 10 stuff just gets delivered to my office with no tax to pay.

wow that is cool, no I ordered it from the official Sargent Dealer for South East Asia and it took more then 4 weeks as they got the wrong seat from the US and sent it back, also I almost paid 4000 Baht in taxes.

I installed the Pro Moto rack this evening. It went pretty smooth. I didn't have a 5/8" drill bit so had I to work at it for a while with a 1/2" bit. The instructions certainly didn't help either. You more or less just figure it out as you go.

Overall I'm pretty happy with it. I like the way it contours the bike and is certainly sturdy enough for anything I would be carrying.

thats good, I also used a smaller drill bit, but got the holes quite ok. Yes I had to remove the whole back fender stuff but then it was easy.
