    Hey guys,

    Is anyone around 5'5'' height owning a CBR? Or do you know anyone or can comment on the comfort level when such a person sits on it?

    This query has got nothing to do with me, one of my friends want to know this. He is around 5' 5''

    Sometimes it takes a whole tankful of fuel before you can think straight.

    It was not that far on the map.

      If money is really not a concern, why dont you get the parts in real carbon fibre.. Function over form.. Just kidding. Btw, carbon fibre parts are available for cbr. You may find it on the internet.

      I am 5'6 and have no issues with comfort or handling. I think 5'5 also should not be any problem. He may need to get used to the weight though..
      You gotta risk it.. to get da biscuit !!!

          with hyd traffic even cycle commuting is horrible. so dosent make a diffrence whether its a cycle or a motorcycle.. so go ahead and buy it. you will get FE figure of 30 +-1 in city traffic.

            i meant i dont mind spending 500-1000 bucks extra for the vinyl.
            carbon fibre actual part will cost a bomb. even if i buy them
            sourcing them is another pain. not worth for a 1.7 lakh bike.
            maybe for a ducati someday i will for sure get real carbon fibre to shread some weight.

                you can get silver parts in carbon fiber finish in ASC store. here in delhi its available. i went for luberication and cbr mach was confused wid mine he was asking me is this you got the part changed or a tape.
                parts costs 1500 one side so 3000 for both left right and you can get carbon fiber tape only in 500 rs.

                  seriously... carbon fiber finish parts available.. man then its like crappy here. i spoke to these guys about rear seat cowl and anything in carbon fiber finish and i was the alien there.

                  noways figured out one guy who said he will do it for 900 bucks.
                  the one you have is grayish shade. i wanted blackish . got that. also 900 includes the plastic between the tank and fairing. for you its red for tricolor its grey.

                  thanks for the help man. i am trying to source 3m DI-NOC carbon fibre film. it looks crazy. google it

                        Yep, whoever said reliable performance was child's play & is inexpensive

                        And slip-on I highly doubt will give you a 10% boost, but will certainly give you attention from cops unless you change the header also; but again, those have been discussed at post #8200. Slip-ons should be available at any local (Pudupet in Chennai for instance) & not necessarily at one single location.

                        See the complete technical data here - Honda CBR 250 R S-H25SO1-HRSS Slip-On Line (SS) - Akrapovic)

                        Except industry leaders, no bloke can publish such robust testing results; if you're able to prove that 87db is less than 91db as per law, then you don't even have to worry about the cop's menace.

                        BTW, get it through ebay or ask someone to bring from abroad, it should cost you less than half of what it costs here.

                            i was also thinking for it but droped the idea because of its price and i don't ride my bike much so its of no use for me to spend that much for slip on.
                            buddy joel is alredy giving exaust for cbr in 12000 wid db killer shipping charges extra.

                              havent got it done yet, the one who quoted me 900 was for normal matte black carbon fibre similar to yours but black. however after seeing 3m di-noc i am waiting for it. have checked it at few places. and it can be shipped .
                              trying to get this one :

                              3M Di-Noc Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap 30x120cm CA-421 fiber | eBay

                              mods if link posting is not allowed . this can be removed.

                              this is how it will give the 3d effect. sample pics.
