Re: Need help in modifying my HH Hunk [2009]
Ashwin -
I have a 120/80 rear tire at rear and not 110. I think 110 may fit without issues. FZ's 140 size tire won't fit anyways.
I am facing 2 problems with my 120 sized tire. It rubs both chain guards, then, it hits the upper mudguard edges when riding with a pillion. And the result - busted swing arm bushes, due to the heavy hit of the tire on the mudguard edges with the weight of rider+pillion!
I am planning to get it changed to stock 100/90 soon. Budget constraints
Also, as everyone knows, the heavy tire takes a toll on mileage and acceleration, speeds up chain/sprocket wear etc.....

1. Rear Disc Brake: This is an expensive affair. You need changes in the swingarm and the alloy wheel. Not to mention, the disk pads alone cost 1200 odd. The entire setup should cost well north of 5k I assume
2. Bigger wide tires both read and Front(probably FZ tires): This won't be possible with the stock alloys. And even with bigger alloys, it might not work. SatSon has a 110 section tyre that rubbed the lower chain guard. There no way the wide tyres of the FZ will work at the rear. The front, I don't know.
3. Non-stock Silencer(I'm ok with few KMs drop in mileage. how much will it drop
): You can try the exhaust from Race Concepts. It is lighter and will give you good performance gains as well. But note that these are illegal for street use and should be used only on the track. A good, tuned for your engine exhaust should cost 5k+.
4. Good short handle bar: Any bike's handlebar should fit I guess. But FZ should serve the purpose you seek.
5. Will Pulsar NS head light fit it?? if not, I would like to go for twin round lamps found in the second pic.: I believe it should fit. Not a direct bolt on, but will require some jugaad. Some clamps here, some clamps there. You catch my drift?
Overall, I would say steer clear of these mods. Except for 4 and 5, all of them are very expensive mods you're planning for.
