    I tried converting to full dc setup to support a hid, but some thing went wrong and burnt my cdi unit.
    Had to spend quite a bit to get it repaired

      Not yet upgraded though as im very short of time these days, and when im free, the shop is closed. Will surely be getting it done in a day or 2.

        He may tell you the price as 2400, but you say that you will buy for 2000, he will agree for 2100 atleast.
        Also uploading a pic, that guy's name is jayesh bhai. very genuine and helpful guy. others were not entertaining even 2-3 queries of ours but this guy answered all our queries, related to the headlights, filters, exhausts, and what not. he is genuinely interested in biking it seems.
        But test the product before you buy it.

            Thanks for your quick reply. Please post some pics of the install, because I'm planning a diy if it's a plug n play setup. I might also change headlight assembly to fz(?????) maybe, don't wanna mess with stock headlight with the lack of spares.

            • Has anyone upgraded battery? Like to 5ah or 9ah? I had asked at the battery shop and was told it wouldn't fit.

                    Btw, just got my Impulse - green yesterday!
                    Anyone? Please help!

                      I got it removed only once and then re installed it, but my mechanic did that, will ask him tomorrow and let you know for sure.

                          Superb comfort, especially the pillion wont feel a thing.
                          I dont even slow down at speed breakers , i jus lift my butt a little bit and cross them at 45-55kmph.

                              That's a sweet setup you got there! Would like to know where u got it from, is it imported? How many lumens? How easy or difficult was the set up? Cost? And how do you feel about its effectiveness?
                              Sorry for my many many questions, but I would love to know...
