hey i enquired at a tyre shop FZ tyre costs a lil less than 3000

and does everyone notice a sound change when we hit 70 above... a more grunty sound? and when we pull the accelerator hard?

hey man , this doesn't happen at 70 only , you can get that sound on,lower speeds also if you max the throttle ... it will make the grunt but the speed doesn't increase ...

yeah I did , I doubt it's effectiveness although I think it might help reduce the splattering a wee bit ...

thnkz for ur pic dude..does this really help u during rainy season

.how abt the cost

vvpl_11 · 08-03-2009, 06:24 PM

Itz free of cost for all the current FZ owners dude

, And I suppose the new bikes will have it installed as well......

Oh, and it is completely removable incase you decide to show off your rear tyre again

It was raining quite heavily in Chennai last week, and yes the new mudflap did a much better job than the stock one.....

But just dont expect too much, FZ will still remain a FZ
