Racing Boy Modified Yamaha 135LC Auto Show Bike

Racing Boy Modified Yamaha 135LC Auto Show Bike
On Jan 1 – Jan 9, 2011, GTMax Motors has held a carnival at Shah Alam. One of the attending participant is Racing Boy. Here, they bring their show bike that is Yamaha 135LC equipped with many of their latest parts offering. The show bike looks great in matte black.
I have write a short review about it and 11 more pictures after the jump
The front mods includes the usage of RB FG511 forged rim that cost about MYR2600+ along with 300mm gold brake disc plate (01-DS5291F-GL). Brake caliper is 4-piston version II series attached to the master pump with Goodrich brake hose.
The rear section got an upgrade in the swing arm with the installation of RB alloy swing arm(MYR380) in orange colour. RB chain tensioner (MYR120) also being used to complement the overall swing arm orange colour. If wonder what is the size of the sprocket, it is at 33T428  for the rear. The front sprocket is not visible for me to look at it.
Rear disc brake caliper is 2-piston (MYR200) from RB latest series to grip the 220mm orange disc plate (MYR180). Goodrich brake hose (MYR150) is again use to make sure the brake fluid can flow from the master pump to the brake caliper.
GT Racing exhaust is equipped for the exhaust gases to exit from the combustion chamber.
RB white monoshock suspension(MYR200) is being used to absorb the bump from the road. This suspension is much firmer than the stock suspension, so, it can perform better on cornering at high speed. Anyway, comfort are going to be sacrifice as it is not as absorbing as the stock suspension.
Solcar security key system(MYR180) is used by this show bike for added security and also add more style.
KOSO Uma Racing Speedometer (MYR400) are used for better information display for the rider and add nice function with the availability of the gear shift light on the top center of the meter. This meter also able to show many more function like, battery voltage, engine temperature and many more.
The overall orange/black look are further finished with the use of RB orange hand grip (MYR40) and RB gold brake lever (MYR100).
In my opinion, this bike modified bike by RB are nice and simple with all the important thing are modded beautifully. The orange/black colour combination fits well and looks very professional.

THE SANHE CLASSIC CAR MUSEUM IN CHENGDU

Sanhe Classic Car Museum
Last week I was a couple of days in the great city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province. Very busy with such and such but I managed to sneak out for a few hours for a visit to the fantastic Sanhe Classic Car Museum. The ‘Sanhe Group‘ is a major car dealer in Chengdu, selling, among others, Lamborghini, Aston Martin and Rolls-Rolls. The group also has a small department which ‘rebuilds’ classic cars and that is what the museum is all about. Beautiful old cars, restored to the absolute max…


The museum sits kinda hidden between large dealer-buildings, workplaces and parking lots full of cars. Inside the museum eight very special cars. But!, they also have a secret garage where another 35 invaluable classic cars are stored, all ‘rebuild’ by Sanhe. I was invited to have a very good look.
Sanhe Classic Car Museum
The secret garage with a fine 1980′s Excalibur-Benz. Lot of Hongqi, lot of ZIL, many Benz, Jeeps, a real Humvee from the first Gulf War, majestic Daimlers and whatnot more. I took a zillion pics in the museum and the garage, and another zillion outside where many other interesting cars were parked. Over the next few weeks I’ll try to show you as much as I can under the new tag ‘Sanhe Classic Car Museum‘. Start soon later, likely tomorrow…
