Performance Shops in Cebu

Hi everyone. I'm from Hawaii, and I don't speak any of the Filipino languages, so please reply in English. Thanks.

I just bought a Sniper the other day. It's gutless. I used to race an R1 and my last bike was a Ninja ZX10. Can't find those here in the Philippines for a price that isn't ridiculously expensive. So I'm stuck with the Sniper.

So where in Cebu can I take it that can do every single performance mod known to man? Someplace that sells and installs the parts. The sky is the limit.

A good shop that you would trust working on your bike and that sells top of the line stuff.

I used to work on my own bikes, but these underbone bikes you have here, I don't know what parts are available or where to get them.

Thanks.

+1 for bastard: just incase you do not have much time in finding shops in cebu, just log-in in this forum and just post your query about your MC. What you need, all you can find it here. Just consult first sir bastard before making any deal... Nice choice of bike,, a small 1 but a terrible 1... :) :)

sir you really dont need local shops... order parts online or thru online sellers,
Thanks. My problem is I don't know what is available for the bike. What are the normal mods. What online retailers are available or their sites.

I've tried doing a search for Sniper performance parts and accessories, but haven't really found anything.

In the US, for "regular" bikes there's tons of retailers and parts available. I know how to find every part imaginable for an R1 or ZX10. This Sniper is totally foreign to me.

If I had a "regular" US available bike, I could order any part I want in 5 minutes or less. Finding stuff for the Sniper is tougher. And I don't know what to look for.

If I had a regular sport bike, I would probably get a Vance and Hines Power Commander, but then the Sniper isn't fuel injected. I could get flatslides but I don't know if they have them special made for this bike. I would probably also get a Muzzy or Yoshimura full exhaust but again I don't know where to find that.

Another thing I would probably do is find a shop here with a dyno and dyno tune it. But I don't know if there are any shops here with a dyno. Finding stuff here in the Philippines is much harder than the US. The US is a consumer society and you can buy anything you want in an instant. I could buy an airplane or helicopter online if I wanted to. Over here if I want something, I have to go to 10 stores trying to find exactly what I want. Buying things here is difficult compared to back home, and I don't know where to look. That's my problem.

I built a computer here and spent 5 hours going from store to store trying to find the parts I wanted. I couldn't find exactly wht I wanted to so I had to settle for what I could find. I also flew to Hong Kong to buy a couple things I couldn't find here. Doing that back home would have probably taken me five minutes. I just don't know where to look or what to look for.

By the way, if you take a look at my web page at the mod list for my 2005 Mustang, you can see I know how to modify things and find parts. I doubt I'd have an easy time finding all those parts here, and it would probably cost me insane money in customs duty and shipping. Parts for cars and bikes in the US is really easy to find. Over here, I'm totally lost and I'm looking at a bike I never seen before, much less tried to modify.
