  • Engine guard/underbelly for FZ16

    Has anyone tried putting R15's underbelly/engine guard on our FZ16?
    Can it be fitted without any mods like welding or drilling??
    How about SS125's engine cover..I just want to know which bike's engine cover or underbelly(whatever one wishes to call it) could be fitted directly on FZ. I am sure it will greatly enhance it looks and make its naked street fighter look more balanced and complete.

        would considering sports demon tyres as an option for leh a good idea?? what other brands or tyre sizes can you guys suggest.

        Thanks
        apart from the PSD being soft compound the treads on them arent deep enough for the off roading... chk out the pics of leh riders you will notice that even the national highway on the hilly region is sometimes flooded and filled with stones...

            so is this projector on the stock bulb? coz yeah the o/p is super bad. I had initially thought u had made a mistake in labeling the pics and that pic 4 was with the projector. Mebbe you could've got with Red LEDs for a red bike. But thats just me, I really like RED

              Ah gotcha. Having the FZ-S visor might help as it would deflect the wind away from the camera.

                    THIS IS PIC 4

                    according to your post... this is stock lighting


                    AND THIS IS PIC 5

                    according to your post... this is with the projector on low beam.

                    or have you mixed up the two pics?
                    coz in PIC 4... the shield cutoff is clearly visible.

                    kindly clarify.

                    • ^^ yes Pic 4 is stock ,Pic 5 is with the projector ... Notice the bluish tinge near the headlight in Pic 5 which is caused by the angel eye ... It's a single beam projector , so it doesn't have a shield cut-off I guess ...

                        • how'd it be possible to carry out the mod without welding?

                          how would u fasten the "belly-pan" to the bike?

                          the mod is possible... but the R15 part would look funny and incomplete on it.

                          one option is using the "belly" that's on the Apache.

                            Chill bro , ofcourse we would reply , the apache engine belly is the most commonly used one ... anythin else looks ungainly ...
