Lifan 150 and Veloci 150

Sorry if i haven't post anything for such a long time. Was busy on a lot of things.

Well, last Wednesday I met with 2 customers who wanted their bikes to be remodeled/customized since the designs of their bikes are pretty much outdated. So will update this blog with the before and after pictures of the bikes that I will work on. And also, I am also planning on changing the appearance of my bike again. So it's going to be a hectic days on these following months ahead.

So i'll keep you posted...

HOW TO MODIFY THE BODY OF YOUR BIKE WITH THE DESIGN YOU WANT

Follow these simple tips to get your way in modifying your bike.

a.) DESIGN
    You need to have a design in mind on how your bike would look like.

b.) LAY-OUT
    Make a sketch or drawing of the design you want. For effect, colorizing the design would be a good idea.

c.) MODEL
    In my experience, i do scale modeling of the sketch of the design as basis for the customization of my bike. You can use cardboard or illustration board in doing so.

d.)MEASURE
    It is easy to make a design but how can you put the design into place if you don't have the exact measurement of the body of your bike for the design to be put on. Use any measuring device for the body of the bike. Then take note of all that in detailed form.

e.) METHODS OF MODIFYING
    There are a lot of ways in modifying your bike. Some just buy body kit that can be bought in motorshops or online. But the problem about buying is that, some aren't fit with the bike that you have. So they still end up getting a whole lot of work in getting it in the desire size of the bike.
    It is much more nice if you can have a design that is unique so that everybody would be in awe in seeing it. :)
    My method is through fiber. Making the body of the bike with the use of a fiber mat. It really helped a lot in giving me the design that I have in mind.   Usually it takes about 1 or 2 weeks depending on the design of the bike. Although, it takes a lot of work but it is still worth it.

f.) FITTING
    This is the last step. But remember that you have to measure the body of your bike so that when putting the body altogether, it will obviously fit to the last details.
    Seeing that it fits in your bike and the result of how how you imagined your bike would look like, is priceless!

    Good luck in modifying! :)

Customizing Yamaha Crypton

This is my first motorcycle. It's a Yamaha Crypton. I decided to customize it to be unique from the others. It's actually my first time in doing customization. Learned from searching the net, asking around and studying the in's and out's of my motorcycle. Sad to say that I have no picture of the original appearance of my Yamaha Crypton before it was customized.
