Hi Guys,

Does anyone know any kedai or shops where they have old scrap or rundown bikes ?

May want to embark on a restoration project to keep myself busy

Thanks.

Why want to restore scrap moto?
Dun have geran, pointless to restore it.

hi,

just curious, what brand/make/model do u have in mind?

n ur purpose is just restore to view not to use?

some might have.. if not source for spare part.

Am open. Just need to go check it out. If conditions are right, then project jalan.
Of course to use.

Maybe need to reapply grant again if do not have.

Classic or modern?

i've seen some carburator type of bikes at welly batu caves just collecting dust with no people buying, I doubt they are in good condition too after being abandoned that long.
Maybe you can buy at a huge discount.

ok with both...

I go check it out... thanks.

If ur near subang airport or can travel to it...i have a modenas gt128 to get rid of if ur interested.

Half abandon...it still runs..rough...body work meh....havent renew roadtax in over 3 years so inspection is needed for renewal.

Market is ard 1.5k in mudah...wanna let go for 800 body only...have grant in my name so change name...

Dm if interested or wanna know more

oh, ur pocket must be deep lah....

few K 2 restore kapchai

Extra few more Ks 2 restore superbike.

Do setup a blog/webpage or something so we all can see ur progress or perhaps get some experiences from u.

good luck!

Its difficult to point you to the right direction without knowing what type of bike you have interest in restoring.

But for starters, join online groups of the same bike so you can leverage the knowledge base. Bikes will undoubtedly come up for sale there also.

working on an old bike is not an easy task nor a cheap one and sourcing parts will be immediate challenge. It depends on how well you want the restoration to go, or how "original" you want it back. Again, you would want to lean on available resources from the group.

You're right...big cost difference in the different types of bikes. Super/sport bikes cost the most. Kapchais are the cheapest. I restored an old beat up Modenas Kriss for about RM1.5k. I bought it for RM800. Then I sold it as it was too slow hahahaha

TS needs to know 1. Budget and the 2. What type of bike he wants to restore. Then only can move forward.

can consider police lelong
or, before anything, come up with some concept first
gotta choose a platform that you like, want, and more versatile to work on
otherwise later you'll end up with slapping a few pieces of metal together and call it a custom job, which is just a road hazard on two wheels

are you familiar with electrical wiring work? that kind of thing

all the best in your pursuit

Thanks. Where do i get info on police lelong?

Hate wiring loom especially those with ECM tuning. Other than that I am OK. Love old school harness though, you can basically rebuild it with normal wires

Restoration is tearing it down to the bearings and building it up by my definition.

My preference, mid to big size but smaller cc. can consider. A bike to me is a bike... too many segregations these days which fundamentally is still a machine with 2 wheels no matter how you put it.

The loves come in when it all come together and starts... and then ... adventure time.

search for "lelong awam motosikal"
there are lelong for JPJ and polis, and start to tune in for updates
watch some youtubes, to prepare

bike generally don't call it ECM, referred to as ECU

Thanks.

ECM and ECU to me is the same thing
I worked with cars a lot in my younger days, so it kinda stucked.
