    U've seen a good example of common sense of these mechs like taking power from indicators? If u do some mod, u should know what r t things to be done and then brief it to the mech/ele or it will end up in a mess man.

          Shree, I can visualize u r armed with an HID on ur head, but cant imagine of getting power from the caps

            I fixed them myself.
            I am not very happy with HID's, pure waste of money. 90/100w is better deal.
            With HID only thing is it attracts people/cops and consumes less power n generates less heat. Light produced is getting wasted too much

                I vote for it. Go for Projectors instead of HID conversion kits, and stop promoting it too once u finish ur stocks

                Lenses r worth to invest IMO.

                  I am thinking to do some Jugad to my Merc Lens to make it hold the H4 HID. Will try this weekend but before that my battery issue should be solved.

                        Shree u cant fit an H4 to a D2S socket, max u've done with an H1. U may need to pull out the whole bulb from the H4 socket, dismantle from the solenoid if its there, and make a dummy bulb base for the H4 bulb. Lot of pain and may not be a correct fit too. Me too even thought of it, considering the final outcome was not that sure, I backed off. Effectively we may spoil the H4 bulb for ever.

                        U got an offer from Nav, are we going back to the barter system?

                          That sounds cool, it is D2S type lens but its only Low Beam Projector. I shall give you a call next weekend as the projector is in Mysore, I will get it this weekend

                            Wanna know whats wrong with your bike or or looking for the best mechanic in your town? Ask here!


                            Well i own a Unicorn for which i converted the Headlamps to DC bcz the stock lights were very poor. I ve also put OSRAM NIGHTBREAKER 55/60w bulb.
                            In simple the light is superb, i am pretty happy with the performance.

                            Now the discharging rate will be more than the charging rate of battery, right? I want this problem to be solved. Pls help me.

                            --> If i change the regulator alone will the charging rate increase or should i get the coil rewind done?

                            --> If not what other possibility is there to increase charging rate of battery?

                            --> ZMA also has a DC headlight with 7ah battery, so can i use any of ZMA's component that increase the charging rate? Eg. Alternator or Regulator.

                            --> I also heard that Avenger's alternator will fit fine, is that true? Is it a direct fit to Uni also??

                            Please do help me techies i am very much worried bcz i battery gets drained soon
                            hey thrs nothing to worry abt it,go and get a rectfier of a bullet bike which wil increases u the current and makes battery get charged.

                              Dude I own a Bullet as well. Bullet has a 3 phase RR which can't be directly plonked to Unicorn. After putting the APE RR I guess my problem is solved.
                              Will confirm by weekend once my battery is up n working.

                                Hey man, do you know Uni has got a single phase alternator whereas Bull has got a 3 phase one. How can you match with these two? Any new ideas?
