IMHO, fronts brakes for Pulsars are already good enough and I donot think one needs them, Instead focus on improving braking SKILLS.

A picture could explain better than a 1000 words, I could'nt find a high resolution image to show this, have a look at the picture below, the bike is of a fellow bhpian only:Originally posted by aditaya.chopra View Postthink again bro if we reverce rhs shocker place where caliper tied will came in front side than how u mount your disk and i want double disk for stopies and it looks different having dual disk in front they add boldness to bike

Good work there, Xionite! The finish is good. How 're dealing with the 'air-cooling' issue? Does the bike heat up pretty soon?
I 've always hated the rear mud-guard/fender.
However, taking it off is a bad idea during the rains! You have done it well by plonking in a P135's. My 2-cents: paint it black.
Well, turn signals 're absolutely neccessary. Try fixing next to the brake light. Peace!

I just checked this thread.
The mod is not bad at all.
Can I suggest you few things?
Paint the middle panel [under rider seat] black as to take it away from view. Like the new orange P220s. This will separate the tail from the front part. And will give it a more modern look. If you look,the superbikes don't have that middle panel at all.
You can also remove the rear grab rails for a very sharp tail.
Last but not least, you can put a mono shock rear suspension to complete a sportsbike look.
Cheers!

i had posted this a few months ago... still have to work on the details.
da ladies don't like that.Originally posted by nitrosatya View PostYou can also remove the rear grab rails for a very sharp tail.
planning on putting on the "new" R15 rear end.
Originally posted by nitrosatya View PostLast but not least, you can put a mono shock rear suspension to complete a sportsbike look.thanks for the input.Originally posted by xionite View Postlist of mods planned for my P18O...
- i have my eyes on the rear end of the upcoming R15...
. (plan on a transplant as soon as new parts are available.)
- FZ rear suspension
- Repaint the bike (Lime Green again)
- want to try an underseat exhaust once i finish the R15 rear end mod.
- one mod i want to try is the CBR swingarm and rear wheel too.
. a 160 section rear tyre on a P18O.
(in my dreams.
)

@Xionite:Exactly!
Thats the way to go.
Also just to be extra picky, if the bottom panel of the fairing is at lower 2/3 rds height of the wheel it will be just perfect! The default lower end of the P180 is like a streetbike. It ends quite higher than the ground.
Basically lowering the fairing height. Might look like the new ZX10R!!
Cheers!
