planning to sell my cbr ,black with c-abs ,bought in august 2011 and hardly 2250 on the odo.really confused how much to quote .any suggestions regarding how much i can quote that is decent and can i wait till budget ???????

+1 All I see is a single module that sits between the Brake Hydraulic tube and the caliper. There are no mechanisms to measure the wheel speed ( and relative speed between front and rear wheel). So I really doubt its effectiveness. Besides, for ABS to pulsate, there has to be a motor, or a valve, which would require electricity to actuate. There are none here.

the projectors are insisted with the hid because of this very reason, the reflectors (designed for stock bulb types) will be a overkill for hid setups. ...

Try giving your bike to someone else and try riding in the direction facing your bike.

I ride with the low beam on 95% of the time. I do not believe that it will blind oncoming traffic. The place I went to did not have any projectors. Any idea on where I can source them?

Post 4th service report - there's a slight noise noticed in the engine, may be the SHIM's are worn out minute. The damn mechanic at JSP didn't even bother to open the engine despite I'd written in the JC to give the valve clearance report. No drop in pickup or top speed noticed, same roads, same speeds. Vibrations are certainly less but little more than a brand new motorcycle. Tire pressure may also be a reason as I'm still riding with a worn out tire that has puncture.

Wheel balancing was not done due to lack of the same. Heard that XL tyre center is coming up with equipment to balance motorcycle wheels across all their service centers in about 2 months time

If time permits, I'll make a B'Fast ride this Sunday morning to check up once again.

yes hid will blind oncoming traffic even on low beam.
i have experienced this thing myself. i use hid in my all cars and used hid in my r15 too and its gud for night riding.

for projecters you need diffrent hid bulb H7 . and in stock cbr we get H4 bulb and it has both high low beam but in H7 bulb you will only get single beam (high). here in delhi its avelabile every were don't know about your city.

^AFAIK there are hi-low setups for projector setups too. Dont have the details with me though. (havent dug into the details since i find the stock lighting(xtreme vision) more than enough for my needs)

Gokul, academic interest only, who is your ASC? So that I can avoid that one once the Bike comes home...

Tri-Color - First Look Report - Naah!

Folks

I waited almost 2 weeks with an approved loan and down-payment ready for the Tri-color.

Got desperate today and started calling up every ASC number I could find to see if anyone has taken delivery of the Tri-color.

Hit pay-dirt with Sapphire Honda, JP Nagar. Akkhl, their Customer Rep asked me to come take a look in the evening.

Driving from Koramangala to JP Nagar during evening traffic is unbearably painful, so commandeered the Bajaj Eliminator from my team mate and rode to JP Nagar (why sit and fume in an A/c car when you can eat dirt and head-sweat inside the Helmet)

At first glance from a distance, it looks darn attractive. I had the team-mate with me (his temperament is much sober than mine in these matters). With all three colors (Black, Red and Tri-color) lined up, he made a beeline for the black - said if it was his choice, this is what he would chose.

For some reason, when seen side by side, tri-color looks smaller than Black or Red. Also, it looks real jazzy now, but jazzy can get real old real soon....Bottom line, I feel I wasted couple of weeks... I could have been turning in my Bike for first service by now if only I had stuck to my original plan...

I loved the Black, but Black's out for me - my li'l princess would slowly rip me to pieces if I brought another black vehicle (personally, car or bike, its either black or white for me). She still hasn't forgiven me for the Black Swift VDi ABS - truth be told, its a pain in you-know-where to keep that car shining, so I've given up and doesn't wash it anymore

So, Red - its safe (me and the li'l one took the first TD on a Red Std from Dream Honda), its available, it uncomplicates the approved loan scenario and it works better for me than too much jazz... I know some here will disagree and say there's nothing like too much jazz, but couple of years will see me hit 40 and I guess I'll be happy to have a Red Seductress to soothe my male menopause pains But as they say in the US Army, pain's good - it means you're still alive

I'm planning to finish up the formalities tomorrow morning at Ananda Honda and hope to take the redhead home day after tomorrow. Taking a copy of the PDI checklist I found on this forum with me...

Wish me luck, folks.

PS: cant stop smiling at the thought.....

PPS: My friend took a picture of me on the Tri-color, but I'm fat, so not posting the pic

mshihabudin - Welcome to the club

Thanks a lot buddy! I will follow up with Saphire Guys. I hope the Std one is mine..
They said they have blocked it for me while paying the down payment. Will bug em today..
Jazzy hmmm.... They way I see it is, If Tri Color gets old, I will repaint it (perhaps perl white, or matt finish or something ).
Yeah, there were a lot of confusion with respect to the Loan. Thats why I decided to pay it up in cash...

In any case, I like my bikes in bold colours . I had a purple Pulsar 180cc (Remember the classic pulsars?) and my current Avenger is in Red. Needless to say, I'm not a subtle person...

yep hi-low setups are there in market but havent used them . between i was telling about H7 bulb wid projecter and hid

Great write there @mshihabudin... Liked your style very much. BTW congrats on your new acquisition and welcome to the club.

!!!Cheers!!!
