  • Guys, I am thinking of changing the horn. Heard about Roots Windtone, BOSCH Symphony, some Chinese cheaper items as well..etc. Even some people suggested to go for Fazer's dual horns (they say I should buy only one horn from Fazer and fit it alongwith my stock one..not sure how it will perform).

    But personally I like Pulsar 150's dual horns...they cost 350 and are good...neither too loud nor too low...just perfect.


    Please let me know which one would suit me best @ a 12V 5 AH battery and (single) HID headlight installed...

    FYI, I met a small accident and fell off from my bike last week. A guy on a scooty could not listen my horns and directly tried crossing the road from left to right. I tried to save him and end up skidding to my right and had minor scratches...SO NEED A LOUDER HORN NOW....

            your bike is not made by local mechanics,it can easily take some amount of abuse.
            the only area (leaving the engine alone) of which you should take care is the whole handlebar assembly.the handlebar and the lower triple tree clamp can bend easily.

              In that case my front wheel rim should've started appearing like a broken egg-shell by now... Considering the speed at which I hit bumps/potholes on the road unknowingly

              Nothing will happen to ur bike now... dont worry....

              Cheers!!

                  Finally I set my num plate with new improved frame
                  Now its not touching nor banging with mudguard and looking descent and legal
                  I agree it's decent but legal ? I mean the headlight partially hides the number plate

                        What ways do we have to secure a tank bag considering we can't use magnetic tank bags. Just tying it up? Straps beneath the tank?

                          Rynox gears have a tank bag which uses suction cups instead of magnets you can look in it.... I am using the same myself and it is good......

                          RYNOX GEARS

                          otherwise you can use the normal tank bags with straps attached to foot pegs and leg guard.....

                            Oh, thats a NICE bag. Are the suction cups enough to hold the bag firmly in place when the bags full?

                              Nope..!! you would have to use the strap in the front, and wet the suction cups to stick properly (Kinky ). But its worth it !!
