true
now i m expecting total estimate around 2000-2500 to get the complete left fairing

My bad bro...actually rs 179 was after the coolant top up + cost of slider....the cost of slider without vat is 115...you remember all things.....

@prateek2210 & aargee

i know i will be sacrificing my warranty for all this but tats ok with me..m vry intrstd in installin a Projector head lamps with red or white parking lights ...pls tel me wich setup(which brand and model) would be good....


1 more thing i wanna clarify...i know projectors drain batteries like hell and tats y evry1 tries to stay away from them but correct me if m wrong...doesnt pulsar 220 flaunt 1.....how does its battery manage to pull it off

It is not the projector that drain batteries, its what wattage projector you are putting. FYI most of the projectors available are of 35 watt hence will actually require less power than stock H4 lamp !

Sent from my G-Note on Taptalk

The CBR comes with 6 AH Battery while the Pulsar has 9 AH...that said the generator in both bikes are good enough to support 10% increase in load modifications,continuously..

@ PSR

Sir can i then get myself a 9ah battery or will it create a problem

Yes you can fit in a 9 AH battery...but what about warranty terms...if you are still under warranty then wait, otherwise go for Amaron 9 AH which is supposed to be good..Go for Sealed MF battery since in CBR the battery is under the seat and mounted at an angle ....we don't want Wet acid type which will spill and corrode chassis and other parts....You may have to do a little adjustment to the mounting to accommodate the bigger battery.
I vaguely remember a CBR owner doing this ,and posting a picture here some time back....

Here it is see post 3374

Stock headlamp setup of CBR is awesome and i really dont see any reason why people going for Projectors and HID's ..? no offence to any one but if you ride 80% inside city then just get while bulb .

yes for city ride the stock setup is adequate...a white beam is poor in penetration in mist and rain and so should be avoided, for safety.

I know its OFF TOPIC but still am asking this . I've observed that now many manufacturers giving white light (projectors) as standerd fitment in SBK and also in some cars its the same . If whilt beam is poor in rain and fog then why we are getting white light as standerd fitment..?

+Million & counting to both abhiwar & PSR Ji

Anyway, let me shed my 2 cents of experience on the headlight...

I fully agree that the stock headlamp is brilliant on CBR 250R, especially the low beam is brilliant. But the high beam is quite pathetic (or seems to be) for the very reason the throw is at a distance that the objects are distances are visible & ideally I'd expect the a throw that is lighted right from the bike towards the long distance, like a kind of line or something.

To overcome this, what I usually do is, keep riding at low beam & use the PASSING switch to light up which does the job near perfect. But that doesn't light up so bright when there're oncoming heavy vehicles or has higher wattage lamps. In any case, lighting up 60/55 (low & high beams) will do the job perfectly.

Regarding PSR Ji's point on white light, let me share few days of my experience using Philips extreme 60/55 on CBR.

This bulb costs near to Rs 500 a piece & outputs near to white light with a minute tinge of yellow. When I'd this, the high beam was awesome, just what I'd wished in above para & the flip side being low beam was total pathetic. During rains, forget the road being lighted up even with such an awesome high beam.

Finally I switched back to stock & during this process, I found a remarkable truth that the OE bulb has a very minor tilt compared to the Philips Xtreme & no wonder the high beam & low beams are so contradictory in between them.

An ideal combination would be a twin headlamp setup with Xtreme on one side for high beam & the stock on other side with low beam. Trust me, with this setup, one CANNOT go wrong. But the only question remains, how does the reflector support this and even if it did, wouldn't both the lights use the same reflector from different positions from the stock & what's the guarantee that we get the expected output?

PS - If any of you think the Philips extreme is expensive, the stock CBR 250R bulb costs a whooping Rs 725 + 14.5% tax for a single piece; may be for one & only reason "Made in Japan"; OE supplier...unknown!!!

I have a quesiton. Do we have to remove headlight assembly or part of fairing etc to change the bulb .. IMHO 725 is too much.. In total which one did you find better for city riding??

@PSR and aargee

i am not complaining about the stock light here its just about the look which a projector headlamp gives to the cbr....i intend to get something done just like the pic i hv attacked

Vasant - Sry, couldn't see the pic for some reason

Don't think so; I think its possible to reach out the headlamp through the fairing, but is a little tricky though.

May be, but there's no other 250cc in this category that offers are better price

Ha...still you're asking the question after my lengthy explanation Stock rocks!!!


No issues, no issues I'm more concerned about the warranty than the mod; that's why I don't advocate any mods until the warranty is over. Just think about a short circuit, ofcourse, the fuse blows up, but just incase, if the fuse doesn't & the ECM blows up, you had it!!! It costs like hell & will never be covered under warranty & you'll land up cursing yourself. Even if you'd the money to buy a new one, trust me, Honda would take months to ship the spare for the very reason its not under warranty & its not a spare that blows off just like that. For eg, I've been waiting to get my plastic shield that turned grey for over several months, but my engine was replaced under warranty & the bike returned to me in almost a week's time.

hey buddy can you tell me from where in delhi did you get the projector done and for how much...and did you notice any battery drainage
