    thnx a ton dude...will be draining the oil only after a weekends trip(300kms to and fro)...this will help me judge whether the oil actually needs changing...

      Will do that. On initial impression, it definitely felt more airy and cool, but a bit slippery especially when braking hard (probably beause of the 'new-ness' .

              500 bucks for the bulb and they set it up for free. Was travelling from thane back to Ghatkopar on the eastern express highway around 10 PM and was very much feeling the difference, and enjoying it!

              Thanks for all the guys who pitched in with advice, esp. Sydney and Ayushkant

                  Am thinking of changing ma bulb as the stock aint that good..
                  dont u think 90/100 w is too much?? I think 55/60 is enough....

                      How long have you been using 90/100? No effect on reflectors or battery ?

                        I feel there is marked improvement in the comfort. Earlier my rear used to get numb in short rides...100 KM.. or so .. I did chennai to and fro...over 700 KMs and didn't feel much problem... So it is worth investing as for me.. coz I take it out for rides a lot.

                        Even the rear seat comfort is improved...as per my friends. The only draw back as of now .. is that its quite slippery... But i don't mine ....

                                Was feeling slippery at the start, but didnt notice it after a few hours. But the comfort level has definitely gone up. Am thinking its worth the value in comfort and looks good too!!
