Recommended Bangkok Motorcycle Shops

Dropped in to 320 SP today after work to get a tail light for the KLX and a couple of other things.

They informed me that the shop will be moving over to WongWian Yai as of July 1st.

Asked for the new address.. She said to look on the website closer to the time.

Bigger premises / show room etc.

Wonder if they will go up market the same way Paddock has these last few years or still keep the wholesale prices and warehouse feel.

Cheers
Brian

You really need to look at the online catalogue to make sure you get everything you want.

My mission.. ramp to load the KLX on to the Ranger.. Helmet with visor, chain lube and done..

So much choice

Picked up some gloves too..

All the gear together.
The ramp was about 400 baht cheaper than dirt shop..

New helmet with visor..
I need something where I can wear sunnies as too much light is messing up my eyes.. or may be I am getting old

Two more helmets in the bedroom..

Now to ride....

Cheers

Finally a visit to 320 SP.
And yeah it's not easy to find, but the give away are 2 banks (1) Thai Farmers Bank, then UOB , then you have the Soi to 320SP
And the name of the Soi

and the shop is a veritable Aladdin's den of motorcycle gear & accessories.
Jam packed full such that it is difficult to get any decent photos.
However....I had to have a go & take some.

and the vivacious dynamic Ms Gae

possibly the top motorbike accessory sales lady in the country, & no doubt a serious wheeler & dealer.

320SP will be moving on 21st August to a new address across the river at Wong Wiang Yai
Their new card

they also have a new website & catalogue in the works.

Now if you live in the North,or even elsewhere in the Kingdom outside Bangkok & dont want to make the trip to Bkk then my guess is our GTR supporters Chiang Rai Saddelbags can get you most things that 320SP have.

And what did I buy?
A new Komine Supreme Titanium Jacket

291701=16353-GTR-Komine-Supreme-Titanium.jpg

& the price: 4,500 baht.
Size 4XL = I had to try on a few to get the right size. 5XL is the biggest too I understand.

BUT
Now I've seen this in the Komine Catalogue
The Komine Sargas Touring Jacket

291701=16354-Komine%20Sargas%20Touring%20Jacket.jpg

however, 320SP say no have.
But Paddock do have

with a price tag of 15,000 baht.
So it's still in the shop for now.

Great shop for parts - they will source and order for you hard-to-get parts, be they for old Africa Twins or new Harleys. Joe's Bike Shop CM have been using them for years to source the impossible for rebuilds.

The family also have the Dianese franchise and an even more lucrative business supplying the elusive Ford Ranger 3.2 (1 month waiting list 150K above list) for export to the UN etc.

with a neighbouring Nankai & Arai helmet shop.

A trip to the Arai Shop

Lots of stock ready to go

but the reason for my visit......to test out their helmet refurbish

3 years use & close to 90,000 kms.
The dirtiest helmet he had ever seen.
But I deliberately left it dirty to see exactly what they would do......a little test.

So what happened, they replaced the liners, chin pads, vents & side pieces.

and the price...

4380 baht.

Its probably time for a new helmet & I'm thinking about
1. Arai Quantum ST

THE NEW STANDARD IN SPORT-TOURING COMFORT

The new Quantum ST is the successor to the popular Quantum model. Aimed and developed for the large group of serious sport-touring riders who demand a perfect mix between touring comfort and sports performance. The new Quantum ST is the perfect companion for these riders. Using the technology from our top of the range RX-7 GP race helmet in combination with a brand new outer shell, a new dimension in sport-touring performance was achieved. The new ST shell offers significantly more space around the chin area for even more comfort and ventilation during those long runs. Another Arai breakthrough in advanced helmet technology is FCS, the abbreviation of “Facial Contour System”. The FCS cheek pads offer an integrated ‘’spring’’ action. This makes putting the helmet on easier with less effort needed. With FCS the cheek pad wraps under the jawbone and on the cheekbones instead of mostly on the soft cheek area. Although the fit feels looser, FCS actually offers secure support over a larger area providing superior stability and comfort with minimal pressure. The new “Peel Away” pads offer thin surface pads that can be removed from the headliner as well as the top surface of booth cheek pads to achieve the best possible, personal fit and minimize the need to purchase additional padding. Together with the Dry Cool interior, extensive ventilation system with dual intake, exhaust and side vents the new Quantum ST offers new levels in touring comfort. Of course the Pinlock anti fog insert lens, Max Vision SAI visor and the Arai Emergency Release System are standard features. Finally we are proud to mention that the new Quantum ST meets both the ECE 22-05 and SNELL M2010 standard! A special feature that was previously only reserved for the RX-7 RC and RX-7 GP.

and / or
2. Arai Tour-X

Adventure, grand touring or off road, no matter the riding conditions, the Tour-X4 is ready for anything. The Tour-X4 has a complete new outer shell. Redesigned to be tougher, stronger and stiffer than ever. As the Tour-X4 may be used under extreme conditions, the ventilation system has been redeveloped for maximum efficiency. The new Facial Contour System (FCS) offers more support and comfort to the lower jaw and creates a tighter fit. For an even better personal fit, there is a removable 5 mm surface foam layer on the cheek pads and temple pad from the headliner. Wear the Tour-X4 with or without peak, with or without visor and combinations of these two. The large visor opening offers plenty of room for motocross-style goggles when riding without visor.

The Tour - X 3 was 17,000 baht at the Arai Shop
The Tour - X 4 is 24,000 baht at Riders Outlet.

An a little update, the Stadium Accessories website is
The Pha Daeng Mansion

G'day All,

320 SP recently moved over to Wongwian Yai..
Decided to go over and check out the new shop..

Not bad indeed.. Not chaotic like the last shop.

Few snaps below :-

Location

The shop is down a small alley way.. There is a sign on the wall.

Look for this on the round about and you have it..

Friendly staff and loads and loads of helmets

This pic is for your Franz.. I know you are a big Shark helmet fan

Now what did I buy.. Too much.. As Bob said.. More organised and more opportunity to spend money...

My purchases.

Off-road helmet with visor and touring pants and jacket.

For those visiting.. Traffic is terrible getting over the river to Thonburi.
Suggest you take the BTS to Wongwian Yai BTS and then make your way.. Looks to be around 600 to 700 metres walk on Google Maps,

https://maps.google.com/maps?client=safari&oe=UTF-8&q=N+13+43.626+E100+29.639&ie=UTF-8&hq=&hnear=0x30e298fae5ad830b:0xdefd538c7ce2f6a7,N+13+43.626+E100+29.639&ei=7a1GUpnbJ4j8rAeHmYHABA&ved=0CCwQ8gEwAA

Cheers and hope you find this useful.
Brian

One thing to add:-

If you know what you want and your size.. be very clear on the size.. EUR or Japan
If you know the Japanese size for the Jap gear.. Use that..
Every time I said EUR they had to think and half the time would get confused..

I said EUR L and they kept referring to XL.. Hope this saves on any grief with mail orders up country.

Exactly what helmet did you get - any chance of a pic?

Here are the pics of the helmet.

AGV AX -8 Dual

Will have to get it stickered.. a little to plain and boring white for me..

Asked them about EMS.. Then said to the guy next to me.. Give you 200 baht to run it back home for me.

Yep OK.. Apparently EMS would have cost 300 baht.. He did it for 200.. Downstairs waiting at reception.

The benefits of Thailand

This is in part a cut and paste from another post of mine but thought it should also go here.

I would recommend House Of Bikes on Phatthanakan Road Soi 20 on left as you ride down from main road http://www.houseofbikebkk.com. I used them to supply and fit PIAA horns to my Versys. I was recommended them by another BKK biker I know who has had work done by them. Its more of a bike bling supply and fit shop rather than repair or service. That said they did a fair job fitting the horns and had a constant stream of Thai customers having bits fitted. A girl had some English but fitters not much but was not much of a problem. They had stock of Rizoma stuff, YSS shocks (yes not good rep atm) Brembo brakes, some DOT labelled lids and a selection stainless fasteners plus other bits.

That's not something most of us have ever looked for before I'd say, but I reckon 320SP would be your best shot.
What bike are you riding?

Hi David, thanks for your reply. It is not for me but meant as a present for my girlfriend who rides a vesper.

Looking for accessory options for the new Suzuki Vstrom 650..

http://jacketboy.com/

https://www.facebook.com/pages/jacketboycom/200974706716602?fref=ts

a small one man adventure touring shop that specializes in the Suzuki Vstrom 650

The shop is a bit out of town, behind Future Park Rangsit

the address is Rangsit- Nakhon Nayok Soi 5
Phone: 089 815 6244

The owner has a Vstrom 650,

rides & has been in Vietnam with his Vstrom & in Shangrila, China on a Vespa.

He knows his gear from experience, which accessories are of lower quality materials - manufacture & which ones last, are relaible & don't break when you need them to perform. I was impressed with his knowledge, discussing materials & cheap manufacture.

The small one man shop

Goodies inside the shop

His fully kitted Vstrom 650 with more gadgets than you can poke a stick at or photograph.

Differant lights for different riding conditions.

If you think you're an adventure type rider & what good first hand advice from an experienced rider check out Jacket Boy.
He rides & knows from experience what lasts & what doesn't break.
Accessories are available for all adventure bikes & he fits out BMW GSs, Honda 500Xs, Versys as well.
