    BTW thnx for ur reply nand
    I understand that bro but what I was telling was diff.from top speed of fz & fazer.Sorry If my post meant otherway..

      P.S : Did a 300km roundtrip to dharmapuri and back today , but not on my bike but a friends P220-S ... It feels absolutely same as our bikes , in particular mine now upto 6K RPM ... from there it bloody well takes off like there's no tomorrow .

      P.P.S: Ordered for a flexible tripod stand from ebay , so now i'm inching closer to be able to test out the top whack , with video evidence
      People ask me , why are you cribbing about the BHP ? to them I say "MORE is never ENOUGH" xbhp.com

          there are two options for the seat cover

          1. the mesh type one from yamaha itself costs 1200 bucks and gives good cushioning effect.

          2. you have to get it made by a local seat cover guy. they can make a seat cover exactly to you specifications if you want to add extra padding that can also be done...

                • Went to Cramster dealer in Mumbai on Saturday. Bought MX3 gloves for 1100 Rs.

                  I just enquired if they had any saddle bags for FZ/Fazer as their site doesn't mention any and has specifically mentioned that those bags which are on website are not suitable for FZ/Fazer.

                  And....Bingo!!!! Cramster has just launched a saddle bag for FZ. It was amazing. About 36 Ltrs of space and with amazing quality.

                  Its for 2K and I am planning to get it before my next tour (its a complete value for money thing).

                      I would suggest you to go for Mesh seat cover from Yamaha if you are not tight on budget. Its really awesome and cost is around 1200 Rs. But the problem will be in rainy season. Once the seat is wet it takes a lot of time to dry. Else its very good on Comfort for long rides.

                        I am not interested in the mesh seat.please suggest any other.Bcoz it has many disadvantages u have already mentioned.So it is not worth spending that amount.

                          Everything will have some or the other disadvantage. Also if you try to put any seat cover in rainy season it is bound to get wet.

                          Also I would suggest you to check if someone has a meshed seat cover and ride it for sometime. I am sure you will love the comfort it gives.

                          My cousin's bike has one. And let me tell you its awesome to ride on it as compared to my seat which doesn't have any cover.

                            well i know how it feels,but the cost factor doesnot satisfy me.

                              Bannerghatta is way too far for me to know any good place around there ... I stay near ulsoor , indiranagar and there are a lot of guys who do this work around here , so should be a straight forward job .
