        Hey aldrin

        The bike looks nice as it is, why do you want to buy other vehicles parts and spoil the looks my friend. Also the front and rear tyre are mismatched, go for bigger tyres upfront since you have a big one on the back or try to downsize your rear tyre..I'm sure your pickup and mileage have gone down.

        If you must mod your bike why not put Hid lights? they will look great on your bike. Tyre hugger seems like a good idea buddy, you must be spraying slush and mud on vehicles following you. The bike already looks good so why don't you move on from the "LOOKS" dept to the performance dept? you have put a kn filter...best get your carb upjetted, maybe do some engine mods?

        tc and keep it real

        Peace!

          yeah i second RogueRider's comment there... i think u should go for some performance modifications instead of spending that much amount of money on looks (and unintentionally but putting ur ride's performance down)...

          if u still want to upgrade the looks of ur bike, then the only thing i will suggest to to get changed is the head... then go for upgrading ur engine with rest of the amount of money... if u still left with some amount, then change the handle to split handle bars of RTR... its really great in terms of handling.

            1) Alloy wheel front 18" & rear 15"(Go for the X treme's alloys. The 15 inchers will spoil the looks completely)
            2) electric start(This modification will require change in wiring, battery and the left side crankcase cover. Too much $$)
            3) rear wheel hugger
            4) R15 Front fering & handle(No! please don't. You'll screw your bike in real quick time)
            5) pulsar 220 silencer(If you really want, Go for the karizma's silencer or the pre-2000 ones)
            6) Graphics etc(Your call!)

            please help me how to go about

              Hey Thanks Guys for your replies they are really helpful.
              yes i had to compromise with the mileage by 2-3km.
              & it was not easy with the rear tyre size.
              the drum stopper rod had to bended to avoid the rear tyre.
              further it kept on getting straight whenever i applied rear brakes.
              thus obstructing with the tyre
              so i got it done in a SS 10mm hardened rod & now it works fine.

              i am really upset with the headlight & reflector
              coz sometime i have to check manually whether it is on.


              *****Pls Further help me*****
              My family is objecting me from doing any further mods & insisting on selling of this bike & get a R15 instead.
              i'm too much attached to my CBZ
              Tell me what should i do.

                Keep the CBZ and keep modding it. For your headlight if you are keen on going for a naked setup with a round headlight then you can go for coil rewind+bigger battery+ambassador round sealbeam in a pulsar round headlight body+55/60 or 90/100 bulb or a 35W HID.
