JC Road, Bangalore. But sticker shop guys are saying that it will not be as flexible as regular vinyls. Maybe we need to get a heat gun or something to make them stick!
I am yet to take the bike to the sticker shop.

I second this; GJ & RJ are fantastic; I did Valsad to Ahmedabad-100 Kms in 3 hours, which is about 250 odd Kms with a 5 min break (because of a moron)

Sry to say, WELL is an underrated word!!! I'm doing Vellore to Udaipur ONLY in rains & the performance is BRILLIANT!!! Even the hard potholes at JNPT, Mumbai was handled very well. The rear pro-Link suspension is amazing, really really amazing. Does a wonderful job.

I did 1172 single day from Chennai-Pune, yes, there're pains. Numbness is ofcourse after the ride. The riding posture has to be changed quite often though.

My bike had niggles after the first service. Two days after it was rectified, it crashed. To be precise, something else came and crashed on it. The whole left fairing is gone, how do you expect it to get well so soon!

have done it to my exhaust sheild--you can see pic on FB & here somewhere back too.

heat gun is ideal though hair dryer works just as well

The only place I can think of is Koti!

For scratches, you can get touchup paint done if you are comfortable. I have got it done on my cars&friends bikes repainted etc.
Let us carry on the discussion over PMs as this does not pertain to the CBR thread in any manner.

Yeah I tried on colt too, and it fits pretty well, just have to put a bungee around the tail to ensure that it doesn't get too close to the rear tires. For this trip, I didn't need so much luggage space, so the turtle did a great job!

I faced no such issues. And I'm not THAT fit too, got quite a bit of fat.

Though we did 500 in a single day. My neck pained a little when I was crouching while doing high speeds of 150+ for 50+kms, but otherwise, no other issues with respect to body pain.

Trust me. I rode in: Normal Highways(Bangalore-Mysore), Normal Twisties(Mysore-Coimbatore-Pollachi), Hairpin ghat sections in night+Heavy Rains+Mist(Valparai hill climb), Total 1 feet deep slush(Valparai), and awesome flat stretches in rain and dry roads (Coimbatore bypass road-Salem-Bangalore). Absolutely NO problems on the bike.

Hmm...not sure how; it doesn't touch the exhaust, but the heat from exhaust is sufficient to melt the saddle bag & I'm 100% confident on it.

Couldn't do it for last 2 days Ji; reason being that I'd to clock K kms in a day. Today is the first day to take a good rest since afternoon & I'd about 9 hours of good sleep since last Thursday (Friday 3 hrs, Saturday 3 hrs & Sunday 2.5 hours

)

Had checked it this morning too & was almost in the same level as what it was when I started the trip.

It is very dangerous to drive like this without adequate sleep..You must have minimum of 6 hours of undisturbed sleep...don't drive yourself too much..

Had checked it this morning too & was almost in the same level as what it was when I started the trip.
That's great information...anyway to be on the safe side do keep a check on engine oil level every 300 Kms..

Tks Sir

Do option #1 if you trust your friend otherwise #2; BTW, there's no need to REV.

PSR Ji - What to do? Learned my lesson the hard way
