      Dude.. 140/80 wont fit with the rear tyre hugger. the max u can have there is 140/70, which still runs pretty close to the hugger. Price in Pune for that spec for Pirelli Sport Demon is nearly 4000.

        I saw 2 posts recently one fitted Sports demon 140/80 and another fitted the MRF 120/80...

            putting it down i.e. towards urself is switching it on and putting it up i.e. away from u is turning it off

                  Is it? Dunno yaar... the I have a 140/70 and all I can say is that the hugger will have to be removed if a 140/80 has to be installed.. there's just no space in there for such a profile..

                  And 120/80 should fit in nicely I reckon...

                    I have the sport demon installed, a very tiny bit of the huger has to be cut, you will hardly notice the cut part.... actually u wont .... even a child could cut it out i say go for it!!!!!

                      I have rode FZ and I own a Fazer , What I feel is under traffic condition FZ is best for its flexibility and in layman language Zig-Zag movements we used to make.... But with Fazer every day in Traffic someone will hit your mirror at front everytime in those congested areas. and you cant make those zig-zag movements you want to make.

                      Pls note: This is my opinion, but it also depends on Drivers ability too

                        Bro no offence but on my recent run to pondicherry and back I found that Bangalore riders are slightly better when it comes to lane shifting or cutting across ... not so much zig-zag movements ...

                        Well I crashed because of this very same zig-zag movement you talk about ... although it was a TVS-50 and because i know the language got off without trouble .

                        @cscsarkar331 : it wouldn't drop your speed but might increase it slightly because of that fairing ... If the mod is done well I don't see any problem ... as both the bikes are completely the same otherwise . If you get any further details on this please let me know i'm interested in it too ... only the SVC pricetag of 7k is a deterrent ...

                          Which pirelli did u fit the 140/70 or /80??

                          A few hours back I called the guy u gave the no. Poona motors n he told that MRF is 2500 while Pirelli 4500....
                          No kidding the price tag is soo high so am thinking of settling for MRF Revz.
