    tyre hugger

    hi guys ,
    I was just wondering where i can get some tyre huggers for my fz16 , as the bike really kicks up a lot of dirt if ridden on muddy roads or wet roads for that matter ... it splashes water all over the place , so just wanted to know if this could be done and where in bangalore it can be done . I think i really need it , also i was thinking about the ABS system , is it really woth installing that on the bike ?
    People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

      The ABS helps to maintain traction while braking and thus reduces the braking distance. You can try that and see whether it helps in braking or not.

        i think when yamaha declared FZ as lord of the streets
        actually they meant lord of the streets only
        daMN

        abs is a very useful thing
        Hope is a good thing ,
        may be the best of things and
        no good thing ever dies .

          I thought you had an R15...anyways, didn't you notice that the FZ already has a tyre hugger?

            +1 on that

            @nand15: I think you meant you want to install a rear mudguard?!?

            @All: Is the tyre hugger a functional thing, or just a look enhancer?

            My views on the YZF-R15 V2.0: http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/news/198...tml#post699240

            The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

              clarification

              hey
              @sarvajit : i did notice that it already has a tyre hugger but that doesn't really help .
              @ all : the tyre hugger if for functional purposes only , for me atleast
              i saw another FZ on the road a few days ago with the "tyre hugger" set more towards the rear end to prevent the bike from kicking up dirt so thought i can get something of the same done on mine .
