    Thanks man, I ordered it years ago from Dog Tags- Custom Personalized Military Identification Thought it looks better as a Duke keychain than it did on my neck. I think it was $6 for a set delivered from US.
    Ordered a set of dog-tags just now!
    Thank you for the link.

      In addition to what jd666 said, air cooling fins might not be of much additional help on an engine generating as much heat.
      Riding the bike with a damaged liquid-cooling system would surely reduce the life of the engine, fins or no fins.

        putting additional fins might increase weight of bike by 5-10 kg, but it might drastically reduce the stress over engine and then engine might able to perform more, i mean it can go over 12000 rpm by remapping its EFI unit.

          I would like to let everyone know that the stalling issue with my Duke has been resolved. The problem was fuel related. Yesterday I emptied the tank to a low level and moved to a different fuel station. The bike does not stall like it did earlier. I also reved it hard as it has now completed 1100 Kms. Hope this will help someone else.
          quite neat bro.. can't we get it here in India anywhere?

            " It's not correct to calculate mileage by reserve to reserve method(you can see that even when you see the low fuel indicator first time, move/shake the bike a little and that indicator will go). Best thing to do is to follow Tankful to Tankful method. Fill the tank completely or upto a mark you can see and distinguish, then ride for some 200 - 300 Kms and then fill the tank again upto the same mark/or completely. Now check the amount of fuel and divide the distance travelled by this amount. Try this method and post your results. "


            u mean i need to ride until the bike stops and then again fill it till the brim ?
            but i was said not to run the bike when low fuel light sign pops up !

            .

            ok il update u guys with my highway experience ,
            my plan got postponed to the weekend

            il post after that
            I would highly advise against running a fuel injected bike on reserve mode. The fuel pump will get damaged very early.To confirm it please go through pages of R15 V1 thread..

              The discussion is going little off-topic.

              But anyways you can get it on ebay. I had ordered one for my duke too.

                  Hello fellow riders, I finally got Duke'd yesterday...

                  I had got a call for delivery at 5.50pm last evening and was asked to reach the showroom before 6.30pm. I was in goregaon (w) at my shop alone so had to wait for somebody to come and look after the shop. Finally my beloved wife came and i left from goregaon at 6.15 (I was lucky enough to get a rickshaw immediately )

                  I finally got going and just before I reached andheri subway saw one of my friend riding next to my rickshaw... I stopped him and said i am getting the delivery of my Duke. He said leave the rick and join me (btw guys he owns a 2010 CBR1000RR) But was riding its smaller sibling the honda activa he uses the activa for local commuting

                  We finally reached the showroom at 6.40pm. At the showroom Kunal one of my friend was already waiting for me, without his help I wouldn't have got the delivery!!! Kunal also owns a Ninja 250 and an R15 V1(my ex-steed). I was asked to wait for all the paper work to get over. Finally it was all done and got the delivery from sai service, andheri (e), bombay, last evening at around 7 pm.

                  The odometer showed 17kms, bike looked neat but not as clean as I'd liked it to be. Nevertheless I was just eager to ride it after almost being bike less for 1.5 years.

                  Was explained the basics of the cockpit though I knew most of it... thanks to our fellow Duke'rs and their ownership experiences I was given a coupon of just 1ltr petrol and asked to fill up only 'speed'! Got the free 1ltr petrol and also tanked up with 'speed' only!!!

                                Better option would be to wait till you hit reserve , start your trip meter when you do. Tank up a fixed amount - say 5 litres, and then measure till you hit reserve again.

                                Not been able to put in more than 7-7.5 litres of fuel once the bike hits reserve, and still the fuel fumes are a bother for the first 20-30 kms.
                                what is petrol fumes ?
                                u mean smell ?
