Hey guys, I am currently upgrading my kapcai to 200cc bike (After 8 years riding kapcai).

Any opinions where to find riding accessories? Currently looking for gloves with palm protection (Budget around 200 & willing to pay more for quality). And, any recommendation for modular/flip up helmet with good air ventilation that is suitable for hot weather in Malaysia? (budget 500-700) biggrin.gif

p/s waterproof is a no no, I want to use this gears for daily commuting (To work etc.). Best with mesh type and with plenty air ventilation

u can get decent gloves from Komine or RS Taichi from Motogear in batu caves or Motoworld (aka Hodaka) in PJCC. both places are selling original and if offer price will be around RM180...normal price around RM200 i think. I have a pair of the RS Taichi and they are very comfy..2nd comfiest gloves ive ever used...the first being another slightly more expensive pair of taichi gloves which has been retired....motogear maybe can ask for less... motoworld dont think so unless sale.

for helmet, wats ur budget? personally if airy is a priority, Scorpion ADX1.. its a flip up but the dual sport nature of the helmet will mean its very breezy... about RM1.4k if i remember correctly. also can be purchased at the same place as the taichi gloves.
look at LSH Racing World as well at dutamas... they have the Hevik and Nankai gloves for cheap....with a good selection of helmets as well... currently got promo on the Lazer MH5 flipup for RM599 (though not sure how good in terms of ventilation). they also have caberg helmets if those are within ur budget. i have the hevik california (RM130)... n i personally dont quite like them, useable for my daily/weekend rides....but if i could go back...i would go for the hevik shamal (RM98) instead or spend a little more for one of the Nankai gloves. LSH tends to have a lot of affordable promos so drop by their FB.

[Out of topic]

Hi guys, as in the title above I am actually looking for a pouch bag that is practical for a rider (Can store power bank, wallet & phone). Preferably at least 3 compartments as I work full time (IT engineer) and part-time rider for FoodPanda. So I might want to store additional ext hard disk, pen-drive and a compartment specifically to store money (for FoodPanda). The Budget would be below RM80 la haha, there's a lot of options in shopping platform. But I don't really know which is the best, thus that's the reason I'm creating this post.

Any recommendations?

P/S I do own a laptop bag, but it's too big for me to bring around since the FoodPanda bag itself are bulky enough
P/S If this post is against the rule, please notify me, and I will simply delete this post.

Hai otai-otai,

I am curious whether is it possible to add-on full ABS system on a kapcai? If can, how much would be the estimate price for the add-on, and is it practical? I find ABS is a very important feature for a bike. I have a SYM VF3i (185cc kapcai) that unfortunately did not come with abs system (Singapore and Europe models has it).
