This Harley Davidson was designed and made by Mr. Paul Teutal Sr.. Mr. Paul Teutal Sr. was once been a contestant on a season of Trump's Popular show "Celebrity Apprentice". The motorcycle unit was featured with 24 karat gold and custom parts and branded with the President surname "Trump" that makes this motorcycle really exclusive.

Chrome Plating

When you have chrome accessories on your scooter it is very nice to see how they glitter under the sun. Normally lot of scooter and other motorcycle owner pick the chrome accessories for some reasons. Chrome is easy to clean and add a special look on your scooter. Chrome really adds a benefit or advantage to your scooter. People tend to stare on your scooter when it has chrome accessories. The shine and beautiful look of your scooter with chrome is really a big deal. The best way to flatter a rider is to compliment how its motorcycle look.

Chrome plating is also a choice for you if you really love chrome in your scooter. Normal parts to be plated by chrome are the scooter wheels. This is the first part to come in your mind when you heard about chrome plating. Chrome plated wheels have lot of advantages specially when it come in cleaning. IT is easy to clean chrome plated parts and really saves a lot of time and energy. Do no more scrubbing and other cleaning techniques. 

The best benefits of chrome plating is that it adds a lifespan in your scooter parts. Chrome is a metal that is plated to your scooter parts and serve as a shield or protector. It prevents corrosion from different parts and make it less prone to wear even with long use. But there are also some disadvantages when using a chrome plated parts on your scooter. This are some disadvantages that I read about chrome plating.

Other riders that chrome is not good for your scooter specially when driving in daylight. The shine of your chrome parts from the direct sunlight can reflect to other motorist that you meet in the road. This reflect can make other motorist dazzle from the chrome glitters. Also chrome plated parts gets hot when direct sunlight hit it. This is why you will need to wear protective gear to prevent you from getting burned.

Fairings

Scooter fairings varies in several types like material and design. They are placed over your scooter frame or chassis to protect it from any airborne hazards. This fairings also serve as protection for your engine from different road hazards and helps to protect your scooter from any weather condition. It also reduce the air drag and prevents it when you are in a crash. This is the primary protective gear of your scooter and also by the rider. This is why you need to choose the best material that you can trust when it comes in its durability and strength.

You can get some fairings that is custom made depending on what style, design and material to be use. It is important that you choose the best material that can last longer and can serve you and your scooter for a long time. There are lots of material that is best when it comes to durability like the carbon fiber or chrome made fairings. This materials cost a bit higher that others but will ensure that you can use them for a long time. The design and style you will use should be unique to fit your choice and scooter perfectly. With custom made fairings, your taste and design is the priority of the manufacturer.

You can also add some additional fairings to your scooter on what design you will choose. Customized fairings is know being known in the market and use by a lot of riders specially when you are planning for an entry in a motor show. The fairings of your scooter have a big impact on how people see the look of your scooter. It is the most seen accessories of your scooter that is why it is important to preserve and take a good care of it.

The Power

I want to do a comparison between two types of engine. The 2 Big Valve engine compared to a 4 valve engine. I decided to write about this topic because I can see a lot of scooter owner now really power up their engine and among them, there are lots of 4 valve engine users. Why do they pick this type of engine and what is their difference with the other type of engine. Also lot of scooter owners that power up their scooter choose the big valve to replace the stock one. What are the advantages and disadvantages of this engine. Through this post I hope that you could learn more about this type of engine and may help you to choose your desired engine type.

Let start with the Big Valve engines. This engine type is almost similar with the stock one but the difference is that the valves and ports are bigger. This big valve and ports helps to provide more power by mixing fuel and air in much large amount than the stock valve. In return this engine also higher fuel consumption compared to the stock. Adding fuel consumption for the exchange of power is really good for those who travel in long distance. From this modification you can really achieve a great hp and mileage in the high ways. Larger valves increases the breathing capacity of your engine but really need a good modification. Always remember that if you would try to modify to big valve there are still other things to consider. First is the supply of the fuel and air to the engine, with a bigger valve and port the engine will need to gain the right amount of mixture. The common problem with this is the one that supply the fuel and air. Yes, the carburetor itself. When you modify your engine to a big valve, commonly your mechanic will tell you that you need a much larger supply of fuel and in that case you will need to buy a new carburetor that can supply the fuel needed. From 26mm carburetor you will change to a bigger carburetor, maybe 28mm or 30mm will do.

In case that you don't have the budget to afford a new one other modification will do, adjusting your old carburetor to supply more fuel. This can be done by enlarging the jets of the carburetor. The other one is your exhaust system. Is your exhaust system can hold the power that your engine gives? Stock pipes are not good with this type of engine because it will not allow the engine to breath enough. Change your pipe to a power pipe with much bigger elbows and exhaust tip. You can look for some power pipe on market and they come available depending on the power of your engine. Best engine type for all riders that loves to travel a lot at long distance.

In terms of using the 4 valve engine will really cost a lot. This type of engine really comes with a high price but absolutely give you the power you expect. Best engine type for those who loves great power response. The 4 valve engine has 2 intake valves and 2 exhaust valve making improvement for the the fuel and air mixture. Also 4 valve engine has much larger surface are that creates or gives more combustion potential. 4 valve engine is much powerful than the big valve but also needs a lot of supply of fuel. The 4 valve is not that expensive but the one expensive is the parts to be added to the engine. Tappets, cam breather, springs, rollers and other. Mechanic also recommend to use a radiator for the 4 valve to help for the cooling system of the engine. Really reliable for heavy long travels ride and will sure you that it will never give up till dawn. This type of engine is great in style, cost more than any type but still give the best power performance for your scooter. A good maintenance can keep your 4 valve to last for a long period of time. 

About on what you have read above, I hope it helps you to choose what is right for your taste. It will be your choice on what engine type you would choose. A Big Valve engine with the slight fuel consumption and better power performance or the 4 Valve engine for high fuel consumption and best power performance. Take a time to think for the best choice. The budget also will be one thing to be consider if you plan for an upgrade engine. There are lot of brands to be chosen. They varies in price but be sure to choose those with high quality and great durability. For me they are just the same, maybe the type of use will define the performance you will need for your scooter.

MODIFY YOUR STYLE

A well known company in the Philippines and stating to be known also in other places in the world specially Asia they show their skill on how they can modify your bike to its limitations. They specialized in modification of scooter bikes. With their custom parts, WIDE rims,Custom Exhaust Systems, Custom Paint, Custom Fabrication,and fiberglass they can make your bike look elegant. They also participate in some Motor Shows in the country.

They can transform your scooter from ordinary to something you really don't expect. Modification will be base on how is your budget will be going and what will be your modification style.

Here is a sample picture so you can see how they can transform an ordinary scooter to elegant scooter. The price is a big deal but it is worthy on the finished product. With their modifications you can also put an entry for your scooter in a motor show so it can help you bring back your expenses.

ENGINE MODIFICATION

ENGINE

It is your choice on how powerful the engine will be. You will need also to save a budget for this work because engine power up will cost a little. If you will be short on budget you can do the following.

 Most people would agree that there's no replacement for displacement, but if you want to add some hp without bumping up the cc, you can try to make your engine breathe a little better by giving your cylinder head assembly a complete head work, like port and polish, shave the head for a higher compression rate, replace or regrind the cam to a more aggressive profile and stiffer valve springs (if available). 

A bigger carburetor and free flowing exhaust system will compliment the make-over. But if you're looking at just bolt on power adders, there's really not much other than bigger carburetor  and ditching the restrictive stock muffler for an open after market pipe. 

And maybe an ignition upgrade too.

But if you have a good budget you can choose the bore up. You can search or ask someone with knowledge about engines. You should be careful on choosing the mechanic that will work for your engine upgrade.

CUSTOMIZE

Customization of bike will need a lot of planning, searching and also budget. It defends on you on how elegant your bike will be after working on it. Also your budget will be a big factor for your customization. 

PLANNING

First step will be on planning. What will be your plan for your bike or how would you make your bike transform. In planning there are lots of styles and design you could imagine. You will think of what will be your motif, designs, set-ups, and styles you'll be making.You should have a firm plan on your bike because once you start working you cant change your plan anymore unless you got a lot of budget.

SEARCHING

Second will be searching. Where would you buy that? Where would you get that? These are the common questions you will going to encounter after planning about your bike. It will be more easier for you if you had a lot of friends that can help you find different parts you need. A lot of patience also is a must so you can collect all data you will be needing for your project bike.

BUDGET

This is the biggest fact you will need to consider on your customization. How much budget do you have? Is it enough for your plan? Sometimes you can get cheaper parts from others or just look for second hand parts. You can DIY (Do It Yourself) parts so you can save some of your budget.
