Simple Madass : Combo-Brake & Dual Rear Caliper

just done, and result is impressive.
braking is safer & enjoyable event at panic condition.
tested at 75kmh and try to do panic brake, it works !


but need to change braking style a little bit, still don't know the effect of 2nd rear caliper (foot brake).
thing need to be upgraded :
- caliper bracket (DIY, 8mm aluminum plate)
- 2pcs Brembo Caliper !
- 2 new brake oil line
- brake line splitter (get it cheap from ebay)
- 3/4inch front master brake (KTC Front Master Big)
- bar end mirror, as the new master brake have different position for normal mirror.

next project ? i need to re-think of engine swap.
maybe Jupiter MX 135cc with upgraded 200cc engine block?

Simple Madass : engine swap?

Still searching the right engine, requirement :
- a wellknown brand
-125cc, 135cc or 150cc
- spare part availability for long term use

candidate : honda supra x 125cc, suzuki shogun SP 125cc, Suzuki FU 150cc, Yamaha Jupiter MX 135cc.
Problems found so far, none of them match directly the engine mounting of the madass. May need to make new bracket for the new engine.
Problem with FU, engine block is too big & may hit front fender, but indeed this 6speed 150cc DOHC is my dream engine for madass.
Will try first my supra x, reason, no need to buy another motor bike :)

Simple tool : multi tool vs proper tool

Tried to work a weekend project with only multitool, but couldn't managed it.
Went back with proper tool and things work faster, safer, better !
At the end,i realize multitool is not replacement for proper tool..

Simple Family : First tooth..

Tadi malam, gigi Yosua goyah satu dan akhirnya lari ke dokter gigi malam2. Alhasil satu gigi seri atas Yosua dicabut, senyumnya jadi lebih lucu dari sebelumnya deh. Hebatnya dia tidak nangis saat dicabut giginya, malah cerita sama dokternya, gigi sakit, dll. Hebaat !!

Simple Project : All New Sirion Mod#1

Jut got a new "All New Sirion" for my wife.
1st mod will be the audio side, as the stock really thin in my ear.
Head Unit => Pioneer double din with bluetooth audio/phone function, i had one in my old "kijang" and really like the output. The phone is for me, bluetooth audio/usb port is for my wife, and dvd player is for my son. I need to buy the new bracket and do little mod on the bracket to make the head unit can be installed.
Front Speaker => JBL 10cm (4inch) coaxial, adding extra punch on the mid & high area
Rear Speaker => Pioneer 16cm (6.5inch) coaxial, the stock one shake too much when the i crank up the volume
Sub = Pioneer 8inch slim sub, stylish in small package but give extra punch for low freq. The seller said this small sub can't deliver enough SPL to shake the car. I don't need one, i need just for balancing the sound.

Once all set (by me :) ), i call my wife to hear it, and she smile "it's enough…" while reducing the sound level from 9 to 6. Hmm, that's a reason i am not looking for power, just to live up the cabin, i'll never been able to set the volume higher than 6 :)
