    ^^+1 to that.

    IMHO adding a rear tyre with a higher profile will give the R15 the perfect proportion that the stock tyre cannot offer...

      The works are still however not upto the full potential of that engine setup.
      Fuelling is however not stock and its not just an FID job alone.
      The exhaust is for more low and mid, so that needs to be changed for mid and top. I have my hands tied with my project and now karthik is on a long term vacation too .
      The head needs to be profiled and this build was done is a hurry, and hence not fully upto the levels. The valve springs will need to make way, if we need to make the engine rev any higher than the stock 10k rpm.
      Optimising this engine alone, will give it a good 1.5bhp gain.

        @Addy43 and abdelazeez : There's a reason why the exhaust is still not chromed/painted (thats not on my priority list anyways) and I am 200% satisfied with the stock rear tire .

        @Joel : Let me know when free, or I am gonna hunt you down eitherways . And congrats on the drag finishes. I however, was expecting a timing in the 13-13.5 secs mate, on the Fie-che . Lets catch up, give me a buzz when your hands are not 'tied' .

          @Kartthik
          In my opinion the main fun lies when you actually smoke your fellas out and they keep wondering what the hell is in his bike.. The exhaust makes it clear that the bike has been played with.. So y dont u try to make it luk gud... Whats the reason for u not making ur xhaust luk good...

            Pls understand one thing. This is not THE end product, but a WIP bike.

              @karthik - Bugger, I need to tell you the whole story all over again.

              @addy - this bike is still unfinished. Lots of work still left to still unleash its full potential. Let our man get up and running.

                    The issues with the bike seems to have been addressed. Head gasket was the culprit for abnormal decreas in coolant levels. I rode the bike to work after a long intermission of 3 months (the doc says I can do anything expect for boxing, and my forearm is 80% fine) .

                    Feels good to see that look on everyone I overtake. Heard there is a drag irace sometime in April @ Jakkur
