How about clipons for your Uni - Check the one on my Uni -

wid dat 16" tyre rim u're nt only hurting ur top speeg but also handling and stability and the most important factor i.e. d confidence to throw d bike into corners. however if ur increasing d tyre sidewall 2" extra den normal size , den u will get back ur handling nd stability + better suspension due extra cushion(decompression scope) provided by 2" extra sidewall.
neways cn i c dose clips of ur uni(what's clipons?)

@roshan .... i would suggest to go for pulsar ug3 handlebar .. its short .. handling is good in hills as well as city riding.. dont go for a rear more than 110/70 .. thats the best for uni..

use a rear tyre 110\80 it won't reduce ur pick-up /mileage, bt will improve d grip , n luks.
If dats nt fat enough den use 120\80 tubeless (mrf zapper C ).Reducing d wieght of d tube will prevent decrease in pick-up
Due to d V-shape of zapper C , the contact surface of the tyre is less when standing perpendicular to d road hence not much rise in grip , but will luk gud and will provide better cornering and leanng ability due to d v- shape.

Unless you go for low profile tyres (reduce overall tyre weight) like the fz you may not have a loss of pickup or power.

But ideally why would you want to modify a unicorn?? The bike looks good in stock condition..

Go for the p150ug3 handle bar--- they fit well on uni and provides u a lean seating....u can have a bigger tyre ---- pirelli or mrf 120 will do the job....but u may loose the initial pickup and handling may be not the same of stock conditions....

Lost but not the least afaik modifying uni will purely damage its image .....

which handle-bar and mods for my unicorn?

i have a honda unicorn.i need to do some basic modifications in my unicorn. my basic necessity is changing the handle-bar.the stock handle-bar provided by the company is uncomfortable for me.
I have seen a unicorn with another bike's handle-bar. I asked the author of that post about the handlebar,but i have not yet recieved a reply.

i would like to know which handle bar can be used in my unicorn.? i require a short handle bar like the one in pulsar?

One more doubt.i have seen the photo of a unicorn modified by Pranav Nalleri. i would like to know about the tyres used in his unicorn.
Can i fit wide tyres like the one used by him or the one found in sports bike to be installed in the stock alloy wheel of honda unicorn?

nb:- 'stock' means the default parts supplied by the company.
