Bike modifiers - Need Help

[Ananz]

Hey guys,

I'm planning to fit a R15 fairing on my pulsar.
Some where in an article on similar modification the price of the fairing was mentioned around 6K. But when i asked a mechanic he was quoting around 18K for the same.
Please let me know the correct price for the R15 front fairing.

Most fairing comes in pieces. 6K would be the price of one piece. What your mechanic says would be the price for the whole fairing. Don't own R15, but others can confirm.

Apart from that, hope you have taken consideration on how to cool your engine effectively after such mods. Most Pulsars are air cooled and fairing will prevent effective cooling. R15 is liquid cooled. Most fully faired bikes are liquid cooled.

Yes.. more precisely i want to know if i can buy the fairing without the digital speedo.

on the cooling.... that is something i'm compromising on. will get some tips from the mechanic only.

cooling should not be such an issue, since the fairing of the R15 will scoop air towards the engine. Also the entire fairing should be around 5-6k or so. you should try and use the exisiting mounts of the R15 fairing and try and match it as far as possible with your bike. This will help reduce vibration, and will ensure that the fairing does not fall apart over time.

Also search thru xbhp, i remember seeing someones Pulsar who had fitted a R15 fairing.

^boss u cant compromise on cooling in pulsar .,i used knn without re-jetting in my 180 .,the engine used to heat up like anything.,my clutch plates got screwed up .,i had gear problems etc etc !

I would advice you to stay away from the full fairing on the pulsar, if poser value is all that u're looking for only then go for it , pulsar engines as such heat up pretty bad , thanks to twin saprks

hey are you talking about the K&N free flow filter, even that is something i wanna try... so u don't recommend it without rejetting??

If you change your air filter to anything that lets more air enter the engine, you must rejet the carb. Else your engine will be running lean causing it to run extremely hot and it will burn your piston, piston rings and any number of other parts. It'll kill your engine in a hurry.

(A lean air fuel ratio means too little fuel for the amount of air, this mixture burns extremely hot.)

stay away from k&n, if rejetting is not done it'll make the bike run too lean. i was running low on oil too and voila my engine seized

P.S- by the way i own a 180 DTS-i

I would not suggest the r15 fairing on the P150 since the pulsar is air cooled, and adding the fairing will decrease the air flow which is needed to cool the engine.
