Pimping my Yamaha Nouvo LX

Published:

Saturday I spent part of the day with 'pimping' my Yamaha Nouvo LX. The day started when I met two students, Tommy and Tony, both Nouvo LX owners, near HSBC in District 1. When then headed to District 10 so I could buy new rear shocks for my motorbike from Siam Motor Co., aka Scootex.  I bought the YSS G-series shocks with a good discount.  Tommy bought a new interior panel for his bike.

We then headed to the Binh Thanh District to Son, a motorbike shop, where I bought a bigger rear tire for my motorbike.  They also installed the new rear shocks for me as well.  After lunch, we parted ways and I headed to District 10 again to replace the plastic covering on my motorbike.  My motorbike now looks spanking new.

I tested out the shocks with one of my big Turkish friends.  It is amazing, he could not notice the bumps.  I rode on the back later and was impressed.  A much smoother ride...
