    claiming insurance on bent rims might be a bit difficult, if i'm not mistaken there was some comments quite a few threads back on this very same issue, and how insurance companies had stopped accepting claims on bent rims... unless of course u can prove u have been in an accident and produce the FIR and stuff...
    More experienced ppl, please correct me if i'm wrong...

    • guys (esp in b'lore),
      i need to give my FZ for her first free service tomorrow, and i'm a little perplexed abt where to give.
      Panache motors is closest, but i've heard a lot of negative stories abt them... Orion motors at Koramangala also, some mixed reviews.

      Any thoughts on which might be a good service centre? Or atleast the lesser of all evils?

      Alternatively, what I might be able to do so that they dont completely take me for a ride? (no pun intended!)

        Hey Folks please help me I've dismantled the tachometer but I can't figure out where are the LED's ! I am thinking of changing the design of that black paper that is fixed on the LCD display.
        Awaiting reply.

            See,the fairing bit(front only which circles the headlights) is Rs.700.
            The mirror is approximately Rs.320.
            The inner fairing part at the first pic is Rs.38(Yeah 38)
            The right side fairing is Rs.320.
            And..the biggest one..the headlight doom(Glass part) is Rs.3k plus
            All these prices are here in bangalore BTW..
            So as you see it's nowhere near 7k..good luck with your repairs..I understand how much it hurts to see your baby in pain.
            The guy has now quoted a fresh estimate of around 4.6K with 1K of labour charge included (3.6k + 1K). This includes a lot of things which I will post after getting the bill. It's been just 2 days and I just can't live without my bike. Anything that comes in my mind has got something to do with the bike. I am using dad's 25 year old Kinetic Honda (yeah, not kidding) for now. Feeling very bad. I just hope my baby gets back to her former glory. She'z just 2 months old!

              the instrument panel in FZ does not contain normal LEDs....
              i think the whole plate glows as soon as a current is passed through the plate....

                it got surface mounted LEDs like in cellphones, flatter than the ones in LED strip. A cellphone service guy can help with it.

                    So then why did you leave out the cdi and race cams????

                    But man....it will be one helluva FZ to ride with all those goodies....
                    Maybe i can meet you AFTER the upgrades.....
                    cheers.......
                    Currently Joel Anna hasn't prepared both for FZ hence, not in the list. It is not possible for me to do a 2000kms ride every now and then for upgrades stage wise and also for the cost joel has quoted, it is simply irresistible for me not to do so.... I guess, i would have a blast while coming back from blore whenever the trip happens...

                    i would try and do a proper video of the whole build right from stock getting dismantled to the heart transplant and may be a "tv style interview with the mod god, Joel Anna" rather logging speed run videos and lots of pics ofcourse

                    however, more post on this topic after the mods are complete!!

                    Cheers

                            I would be delighted to watch that build video rather than the speed run videos....
                            Would have definitely planned to go down with you, had my finances permitted me....
                            Even though do tell me when you plan the trip and i shall try(if meanwhile i manage to get a job)

                            cheers.........
