    2200 is too high, buy the required parts from ASC and get it done from a good local mech. I donno bout insurance, never claimed and don't even have insurance right now.

      the problem is I don't know any competent mech, rammed the bike at 60 on to rear door of a dzire (the guy from standstill just moved a few feet ahead right into my path), not sure about the extent of damage (whether lathe is required or not), hence doing it at ASC.

        I've rammed into oncoming vehicle twice at 60 speed and no damage at all, check if ur fork feels straight, if you don't notice anything then just replace coneset,oil and T. Replace the fork seals also since ur opening the fork, its not necessary but better do it off. The seals cost about 350 bucks at ASC but I've been using seals of pulsar 150(brand name-ASK) without any problem since 2 years, costs 90 bucks.

                You can change the footsets of both sides to hero hunk or karizma zma/zmr footsets like this-




                These mods have not been done by me, I've just taken these pics off Google, if you need more then pm me.

                    The smaller circle area will be open, there is nothing you can do about that, the guy in the picture and other people too have used a fiber piece to cover the gap. Saree guard can also be used, but I'm not sure if its the stock uni saree guard, the pic below is a unicorn with karizma zma footsets and the guard might be karizmas too.

                        AFAIK the new uni can take upto 110/90 size tyre with chain guard and 120/90 without chain guard. Handle bar you can use Yamaha fz handle bar



                        And about impulse brake pedal, no you can't use those, the only direct fit ones are from hunk and karizma.

                          fz handle bars are they direct fit I mean all the cables too....
                          brake and clutch cables?
                          will they not hit the tank?
                          do they need any kind of modification to increase the height of handle bars so that it would not collide with tank...

                          can the exhaust of honda cb trigger fit unicorn's?

                            Well as you can clearly see from the images, they have not heightened the handlebar so its clearly a direct fit.
                            Here are 2 more pics of a unicorn with fz handlebar, but the owner has heightened the handle bar probably for more comfortable position, and he's installed fz headlight too.



                            I had saved all these images when I had done research online for the same, I suggest you do the same and share anything new here if you find anything, it would help the other members too :-)
