My build/mods thread: '15 PCX

[WhiteNoise]

I believe forum owner maddiedog has the same Kawell Slim fork (fog) lights. He bought them here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00GRISB7 ... YK29A9B24T

You can also read his review and see photos he posted on that Amazon page. So affordable. Good luck!

So finished the major mods today, with the Bikerbitz YSS shocks going on. Following the DIY again, there were no surprises and just lots of bolts and screws to take it apart. I'll report on the ride and experience later...

So what's the verdict Glen? I'm about ready to order a set of these myself

[Jge64]

One season, they work great....

[Jge64]

Not only much cheaper, I might add these look "appropriate" for a scooter too. Adding a race bike reservoir back there just makes it look like a boy racer. Again just my opinion.

[k2apache6.0]

Thanks for replying Glen. I like the offset at the top and base for wider tire modification. Btw, looks like you have yours reversed?
I'm also thinking of the number 7 carbon look seat, what's the verdict on that one compared to the stocker? Thanks in advance

[Jge64]

You cant reverse them......split backet at bottom wont go up top and vice versa

All the seats that I've used above are better than the stock seat because they allow you to sit back more .

No the offset supposed to be on the outside so you can fit a wider tire, not topsy turvey, left and right

[Jge64]

Oh i see, ok, never planning on wider tire, so im good.

Cheers Glen,
hopefully meet up with you one of these days since we're both 'ft liquordalers', buy you a Starbucks?
Are you still as enthusiastic as before now your mods are completed? ..I'm Just getting started here, and wanted to thank you for the inspiration. Here's what I've done so far, also not pictured custom bar ends, and some wider tires on order, oh and I just ordered the number 7 seat too

[Jge64]

There is not a single mod i did that i would not repeat. I pretty much planned the mods a few months before I got it, after seeing the bike dealership. At a minumum, This bike needs rear shocks, a good pipe and seat, IMO. They are the big three.

[k2apache6.0]

Shocks are next, and maybe these from powerbypcx.com and some uprated springs while I'm at it. http://www.powerbypcx.com/en/accessorie ... v2-v3.html

I get back off the road at the end of July, let's do coffee with the bikes, and talk mods, I'll pm you

[k2apache6.0]

Great, will do ...sounds like a plan

[Hasbro]

Yup, I Have a shop manual, not touching powertrain, other than the sliders.

Glen, I have been slowly digesting your mods and add ons..........WOW! Your end result looks nothing less than sexy and absolutely foxy, the only two words I could think of that loosely translate to 'outstanding"

I will be doing some mods also, but mostly for comfort and a little for appearance. My 150 is black and I really have no idea how to jazz it up appearance wise I have always thought of white as ok,, but your bike just begs to be stared at.

The first of several questions as I continue on my learning curve and you seem to be pretty well versed in just about all aspects of improvements..........do you think your choice of new exhaust system was an overall improvement? I've seen another exhaust system (somewhere in all the sites) that is stainless steel and the whole thing is one piece. Pretty spendy too as i recall so wondering if money spent in this area is worth it? Seems yours was just the muffler or am I mistaken?

And what are "sliders"?

Learning as I go,
Loren

[Jge64]

Search for sliders here

Mine is a full exhaust, not just a mufflrt
it doesn't have performance ,it just makes it look a lot nicer

[Jge64]

Just an update on the fobobike tire sensors, a year later, still a great add for me. The batts in sensors needed changing this week, so they lasted the whole year.

So I’m looking at the 2 seat pics on page 9 and it looks to me like the hump on the ‘ bitz ’ Seat #7 is more front that the one on the stock seat. Am I missing something - I’m using the body panel seams as reference.

[Jge64]

The humps on the Bikerzbitz are practically nonexistent , you can sit on it and you don't even feel them.

Hi Glen,
So how was the ride experience after fitting the YSS Shocks? Curious as I've just bought a set and can't wait to try them!

[Jge64]

So I see you ordered the new ones that have the reservoir. Mounted on my xmax, which is a heavier bike than the PCX, is immeasurably improved. As I said , it’s a significant difference when attacking something like a speedbump or railroad tracks. The whole adjustability is much easier on the YSS.....and more custom.
