hey... thanks for the info bro
any personal experience with either shop?

In fact both..

The BM one, repaired my friend Ducati 1000GT tail turn signal when it suddenly dropped from the bike on the course from KL to Phuket.. good workmanship considering the emergency nature of the repair.

However they have more Japs Cruiser type on their based of creation like Virago, Vulcan and Shadows..

Abah n Sons.

They a motorcycle builder, build old school Harley from the scratch (old school means the Harley that has kick start crank ignition type).

They personally touched some parts of my old Electra Glide and Sportsters, good workmanship, just the drawback.. you can't rush them... like an artist....need to take their time to create a masterpiece.

A&S seems like a good choice for me. How's the price?

Can't say much, depends on the requirement and how simple or complex the project.

hi bros,

first, thank you for this thread.
been looking for a bike customization shop.

the plan is to mod my duke 200.
ajaibman do you think any of these shops you mentioned can do?

I would say go to :

THey have more variety of bikes ..include some cafe racer mods .. (Not only cruisers type of bike)

thanks bro for the feedback.
i will definitely visit the place, as i am staying quite near there too.

going to maneuver about here for ideas on what to do with it.

I was really pumped on doing this until I realised that reviving my old gal means I have to pay more roadtax and insurance.
Simpan balik

I am also interested.
I am living in Penang.
Thinking of getting an older/cheap machine and convert it to something more classic tracker/scrambler which is the craze this days.
Something like this. RKV200 second hand is selling quite cheap.

if got budget.. the rkv can be customed into very nice bike, with d usd fork..

got one pomen in klang valley? tht specialised in rkv, he do the bike for racing in track...

tis bike actually quite worth it, if used as hobby bike.. spare parts alot frm china can ez get...

I've been researching this.
Yeah....the price for a used one is the same as a used kapchai. <3k can find one.
But somehow....i don't quite like its longish back end....so wanna cut it off to be shorter and also flatten it, so it doesn't angle up so much.
slap on some new seats....change it to rounded headlights and still retain the tank (looks good without changing IMO)
Not sure about the reliability though.

the Pomen, you mentioned i think i saw it in Facebook d....lol but is in KL.
Anywhere in Penang Island?

You can try padin shop in kepala batas

yes is in kl. mysbc...



not sure bout penang.. ull need to find.. actually not susah for any pomen tht is not lazy..

for custom work, if u goto my cafe racer msia fb group n search penang or rkv200 u can get a few names.

u should go check out the recent dgr ride in penang, there can get to know custom bike owners..

Sorry for my oversight on this...I just got to know, custom bikes are not street legal? especially those which requires any part of the frame to be cut off or changed.

yes not legal ofcos... now u noe?

any changes in the original appearance of the bike is not allowed.

summore wana potong here n there.. lagi not legal..

all those guys r doing it on their own risk...

seeing them riding here there all over msia.. makes a fan drool..

still if takut.. u still can get a brixton or keeway, ktns, cmc, italijet.. jz change abit here n there..

will giv u a more peacefull mind...

very nice!!

A neighbour of mine has a RKV200 with a round headlight. All black, with gold USD forks and gold piggybacks on the rear shocks, it looks really good. The longer seat reminds me of the old Kawasaki Z1 and is a nice change from the usual stubby seats most cafe bikes have.

hahaha.....i am noobie in motorcycles.
Never had a license...got poisoned with this retro classic bikes.
Took my license just so can ride em at 30++ lol.

End up maybe get a GPX Legend Gentleman
