    Can i fit apache levers?

    I can't comment on apache levers, but most of the bikes levers are quite equivalent to each other and can be interchanged i believe.

      Do u want silver/grey kind of levers? then its better get a sand paper and go sanding , It will have better finish , At last use a metal polish and rub to get desired finish , I did same on my splendor and it looks good with blue color of bike

            Not sure of Apache levers, but Pulsar/Yamaha FZ levers do NOT fit! I wasted a good amount on that front. I got standard levers and bought the handlebar brackets separately that fit Hero bikes. I just love the levers, but there's a catch! Since mine are adjustable levers, people/morons fiddle with it every time (in my absence). You will have to learn to be patient.

                Local make, no company. Had to source the lever part (red) separately and got the mounting bracket separately. By mounting bracket, I mean the black part in the below image link (just for reference)

                  till date i traveled 300km (solo) a day in my cbz extreme. i am planning for a Chennai solo trip from Trivandrum to see my sis and stay there for 3 weeks.
                  My doubt is the cbz capable of doing 750km in a single stretch with 10 min break every 3 hours? is there will be any over heating problem? i feel heat in my leg after 15min of dive hope its normal.

                    The question is will you be able to ride without breaks. Extreme can ride all day long without any problem. Overdrive magazine had tested it for 24 hrs non stop running at full throttle and it came out victorious. So you can ride with no problems.

                        With new shok keep it stock as new shocks are best with their factory adjustment. The factory position is one step harder from full soft. The extreme shocks are already stiff and bike handles like charm.

                            Today i went to inquire the price of rear shock. I just asked can i install it today itself... suddenly they agreed. i was really surprised. The service guy told me that i dont need to change the other shock. only need to replace the shock which has a little crack and some oil leakage. He said the shock are gas filled one and there will be no problem till damage or gas leakage. so i changed One rear shock which costed 2000rs, front mudguard 1150rs, a tank cover 200rs inc labour a total of 3600rs at CHeran Hero Trivandrum. After i installing everything i got my bike back in 1 hour. i check the rear shocks. i am shocked to see that the old one is on 3rd step and the new one is on (default) 2nd step. Then i told the service center guy that old shock was not adjusted. please adjust it. I also added i am 90% solo driver make it soft setting. He then set both the shock to first step(decrease height). Now i think i dont feel vibrations in ghut roads... he told that the chain will last for a little more... change after long drive.

                              Guys, I am back from my 20 day EPIC solo Ladakh trip. Final odo reading on my Hunk : 6686.6kms ~~7000kms! It was awesome to say the least. Expect a travelogue by mid July and detailed reviews on the following:

                              1. Hero Hunk ladakh ride review
                              2. Dunlop Geo Cruiser review
                              3. ViaTerra Fly GT and Claw review.

                              The bike was the biggest revelation, with me just regularly attending to the chain (clean+lube only) and touchwood, it did not cause a single problem. All I did was tank up and ride. Just like the old Hero slogan - fill it, shut it, forget it. Final 2 days, while on my return leg: I covered 840 kms in 13 hours. (I was riding at 90+ at most of the times with 100+ on the Yamuna Expressway).
                              Penultimate day ride stats--
                              Distance covered: 840 kms
                              Time taken: 13 hours (incl of breaks)
                              Max Speed: 110 km/hr
                              FE :40-42kmpl.
                              FE between Delhi and Agra on the Yamuna Expressway: 33kmpl.



                              Stay tuned in for the reviews!

                                Congratz on the solo ride.
