      -Saddle bags (soft/hard)
      -paint job for alloy wheels
      -sliders
      -seat mod for better driving comfort like adding a back support at least a low one like on new 2009 Vmax
      -New handle BARS ( i am being stupid here but just wanted to try if any thing better )
      -want to add Two more HID lights on left & right side of the original lights though bit low on the forks for easy night outs
      -Good driving jackets
      -Helmets
      -Any other idea you may suggest
      - Not interested in silencer kits as that dont appeal me at all. I am very happy with stock sound kit !

      Pls advice where in Delhi can i get such items & approx cost if you might know ! The idea is not to make the bike look jazzy or crappy but give me comfort & space !


      Hi jonny i would suggest don't do anything with stock alloys and regarding helmets and jackets you can check in karol bagh market or at KRP. Kunjal(Xbhpian) recently purchased a very nice white base INDEX helmets in near about Rs 2000/-

      U can come at sunday G2G at dhaba for discussions and consult with co xbhpians...!!!

        For riding gear, checkout planetdsg.com

        They have alpinestars jacket also. The shop is in pune but they courier the stuff to your home. buying experience is god. i got my jacket in 4 days.

        The website is pretty comprehensive.

        You can also checkout cramster's jackets. try searching them on google and you will have the link to their website also.

        As for helmets chopra automobiles in Carol Bagh is the place. he has a huuge variety of helmets.

        In the end budget also matters, so choose what u like and whats in your budget and then you can ask in the forums about the feedback for that product.

          Get yourself a black mesh jacket with a rain-overcoat from tourmaster or DSG etc. Black gloves (mesh or regular) with knucle protectors and gauntlet style. 1 pair of regular gloves with mesh...there are days when a T-Shirt will be all you can wear...a light non-gauntlet pair of gloves will go nicely.

          Get a suitable tank bag...no saddle bags. Saddle bags afect stability in windy conditions or at high speed. Tourmaster has nice multi-deck tank bags with magnetic straps.

          Dont do any cosmetic mods...anything you do locally will end up looking like ass. Use the money for better riding gear (helmet, knee protection, boots or even leathers).

            The forks are Anodized gold...not painted or powdercoated. I am also sure you can simply order the panels of the SP from Yamaha spares.

                  How is this possible..may be i wanna attempt !
                  No no that wont b the case, i think those are mounted onto the heat shield and
                  the heat shield would be protecting it from the heat of the exhaust..!!
