Minor touch on my Estrella for better handling and comfort

Brothers & sisters…., after two years without any new touch on my Estrella, I think it is about time to make some minor upgrades. First is I want to have a windshield on. Second I want to raise the handle bar a little higher. Third I want to replace the heavy and bulky engine guard with a slimmer one. For this purpose I let Syndicate Motor Indonesia to do the work.

This morning I went to Syndicate Motor Indonesia to check if my Estrella is ready. Every thing is perfect except the windshield need to be adjusted a little bit. After the windshield is done, my bike is ready. Here are some photos I took this afternoon.

I rode about 40 km this afternoon, the small windshield is quite helpful to protect me from the front wind blow

Using riser pivot, the handle bar is now 4-5 cm higher than the original. I find it more comfortable and relax, better handling too.

Windshield yang terpasang sekalipun kecil cukup mampu menghalau angin. Engine guard saya ganti yang lebih kecil pipanya dan juga kelihatan lebih oke. Semua dikerjakan oleh punggawa bengkel Syndicate Motor Indonesia, termasuk stang riser pivot nya juga menggunakan brand Coriaz milik bro Rial Hamzah.

    Mantaaab!
    BTW udah pernah digeber blm om? ngos2an ga ya dibuat turing lari 100-120km/h kontinyu?. Pengen punya, tapi masi ragu (worth it atau tidak) sama performanya. Harga selisih jauh, tp torsi ma power masi mirip2 sama scorpio, tiger, dan sekelasnya. hehehe…

    Tapi tampang emang ni motor juaranya.. 🙂

      Hallo bro, kalau suka geber motor atau lari kencang Estrella gak cocok bro. Estrella itu halus gak galak, lari 100 kpj lebih bisa aja tetapi butuh waktu. Tidak seperti motor ninja mono 250 cc yg lincah dan cepat, Estrella bener2 kalem dan santai. Utk kenyamanan ini motor top banget.

        Menurut saya 100 oke, 120 kurang oke. Enak nya di 80-90 nyes..nyes..nyes..gitu.
