It'll consume max 1 W. You'll be saving close to 12-13 W, with which you can run a 55W bulb without any conversions. No need to add rectifier as well. It's a simple DIY job. your HL will be 55/60 running on AC, without any problems.

I would not do something like removing the tail bulb at least for safety reasons.

@ Deva - Can you think of something like adopting ZMA electrical on your bike? May be you can create a thread separately to discuss.

hey guys yesterday that is sunday after noon i saw a ninja 250 in chrompet signal i was aware of g2g ride to vedanthangal n must havebeen someone from xbhp returning home i saw it near chrompet signal [near chrompet bus stand] afternoon

[abishekkrishna]

guys i know there has been lots of g2gs in bessy i know all are bored of bessy but personally its the best reachable comfortable spot for g2g according to my opinion and its near to every one around the city now whos with me i think we can have g2g for evening for a change



now whos with me

@ deva:

here are your options :
1. HID
2. Higher Power Bulb -55/60W after removing extra Load.
3. Coil rewinding, HID or 90/100 after wiring mods
4. Projector Mod on HL assy
5. Aftermarket Addon Spot lamps, but this would consume much more current and is no way better unless you rewind!

@ abhishek: that was Sunil AKA sunny. It's sad you didnt spot me the Ninja is much more eye catching

I'll come up with suggestion apart from what I'm posting now. Raghav & Sri, pls do not expect my presence for next 1-2 weeks or more. As I told before, though I WANT to join fro Horsley hill ride, my RX will not permit. Its clocked just 25 Kms till now, see my rantings thread on the update.

Apar has the article posted in an apt time; Like Kirosh said several weeks back that Cozee is no longer cozy & we need to change the location.

Alternate destinations
1. Barista, R.K. Salai; but the issue is, they keep opened past midnight, but not early morning
2. Triplicane beach (yeah, yet another beach)
3. Somewhere along ECR like view point, vision point whatever (once again)
4. CTC, our current meeting point; but we should all gather in few minutes & leave for the ride
5. Somewhere in North Chennai, like Thiruvotriyur OR somewhere on NH5 (Chennai-Kolkatta)
6. Somewhere on NH4 or Tambaram/Tambaram Bye-pass or Motel Highway?

Before throwing daggers on point 5&6, here're some pros that I see...
1. No question on food as we eat & we leave
2. Ample parking
3. No suspicious eyes
4. No disturbance to public as these places will be less crowded

Any other suggestions - most Welcome

i think we can have g2g for evening for a change

The problem with evening that I see is...
1. No short rides; by the time you come home, you're tired & want to sleep & prepare for office the next day
2. Need to ride along the when riding back home
3. Night rides & if rains, it becomes more messier
4. If for some reason the ride is struck, you're struck; atleast some help can be sought during the sunlight, but in the dark?
5. Miss the cool & breezy ride that you get only in the morning

Going a little OT as I wanted to say this for quite sometime now...
Looking back at page 1, from the thread originators words...

Xbhp members may very well recall that the Chennai G2G discussion thread called "Chennai G2G - Guys and Gals" had numbered over 400 pages and was still going strong. So I am creating this new thread for continuing discussion of the same.

So now we've reached more than 400 pages, rather approaching 450 pages now

@ sriram : Stated that it will have to be replaced with a High intensity LED. It's going to be High Intensity LED because they consume less power but have a good pwr output..

How about the CCD at Neelangarai? Good parking and lot of space. Best of all, its on the ECR! Its of course not as cheap as lazing out at Cozee....

[abishekkrishna]

guys how about we all meet in express avenue royapetta?

that is near royapetta manigundu well there is ample of parking there

even triplicane beach sounds good to me come on guys pour ion comments

[felix.ragav]

I'm good if its inside the city and OK if its in ECR. I havent had the chance to enjoy a day at home ever since I joined my job. Would look forward to meeting in the evenings.

Loads of suggestions pouring in. The time tested ECR and Bessie are the only ones which havent stood the test are now up all ready to take a beating!
