    But ever since I've installed the rearsets, i've been experiencing pain in my lower back.I ignored it until someone here pointed that out and related it to the rearsets..Even though my legs are very comfortable, now my back isn't.
    Avin did u experience them to helping the lower back?
    Yes, the P200's handlebar's about an inch lower than the P180's, but it does make a good difference in the posture.

      i was using the 200 handle bars for the past one year . till last month had to go back to stock after a crash. The difference is noticeable , but its not a huge shift that makes your lean further. But then again it all depends on our personal dimensions also. ..

          If you remove the rubber bush it will show some other sound while running in the bad roads. I think u can try RTR kick lever in ur bike to avoid the problem. But I don't know whether it is compatible. I have also installed rear set in my apache 150. I have bend the silencer itself to accommodate the rear set. U can see it in my album.

            I am 6'1". so will they help? Also, how much do they cost?The 220 ones can't be installed on the 180 coz of the different forks.

              you are quite tall. and hence except for a slight bend forward (which i think is worse for the back) things will be pretty much the same.

              You can always try it ..The handle bar is pretty cheap 250 odd bucks..

                But i think it'd help coz it'll put some of the weight on the arms and so ease the lower back...but tell me what did u do for the kickstarter?

                  are you sure ? My p150 is riding fine for nearly 4.5 years and 40k km without that bush. Removing the bush and checking is the simplest option.

                    Dude I tried riding after removing the rubber stopper, nothing happened. It still scrapes. and when i go over pot holes, the stands moves up and down and makes a noise when it bangs against the silencer...somebody please tell me what to do of the kick starter.

                      I bent my kicker so that it just manages to get the kicking done .. and guess you also did the same. and now it comes and hits the brake pedal right ?

                      Yeah., that is a problem and i never got it repaired. I think someone suggested some thing in the above posts and i had requested that guy to put up better snaps of what he had done as things were not clear. Will have to wait for that 'cuz i never got that problem sorted out . But i rarely use the kicker though.

                        Fit in the avenger 180 kicker, that should solve the kicker problem..
                        Use always self starter and rarely u can kick start, that is what i do and the self is very reliable..I kick start once in 2 or 3 months maybe...

                          Ya i know about bending the kicker or installing the avenger kicker... but the kicker has to stop at a point. It can't go all the way.. In the stock configuration, the right footrest had a rubber stopper for ending the travel of the footrest. But now no stopper. So how will the kick starter stop at the desired point, my mech says if the kicker rotates beyond the stopper point, the crank case internals will get damaged... Are you people getting my question?

                              If you are installing rearsets then say GoodBye to the kickstarter coz its of no use after installing the rearsets.About the scrapping, the silencer never scraped dude. the main stand did. and found no remedies as of now....actually I didn't bother to search since I've been riding solo for quite some time now.

                                I am not sure with the CBZ-X or the HUNK's will fit or not. But couple of guys have fitted the ZMA and the CBZ Classic's Rearset without much trouble.

                                ZMA's are expensive, will cost around 3k for spares + labor.
                                CBZ Classic will cost around 1500 + labor.

                                But CBZ Classic spares are hard to find
