Now for god's sake let the virgin remain a virgin until the right comes , I think if not for others Gixxer is behind my virgin bike for sure

Whatever we do new on our bike is a new learning experience, I like to stay with mech & get done the service & Understand the things & for other non xbhpians, they would like to let the mech handle all the things & they wana rest @ home or attend office if on week days,

Depends on individuals

But I must say, what Nanotech has tried is truly commendable, forget how much reliable it is or not, just for taking the modification thing this far a height is to be appreciated & i am sure for someone who has tried this would not mind a break down or two until things get settled.

I will let Shreeni answer you bro,about how long you'll keep her stock.Or else i'll make you ride my bike whenever you're here till the riding position of my bike breaks your back, or till you get used to it and change over to a much much easier FZ handle.

Coming to nanotech's bike,the rear sets came because of the alternator and he would have faced a fraction of the problems he faced with the rear sets ,if he had taken my advise and went for a custom made one.It'd have been cheaper and easier and he could have retained the stock exhaust of the F2 as well.I am very glad he went for a RTR one with baffle removed,but he did that as the rear sets weren't allowing the stock silencer.

The rear sets on my bike is not as good looking as that of the RTR,but it cost me 400 odd bucks,it's made of steel(not brittle like alloy ones),it's bolt on(going back to stock is a 10 min job) and it's a custom fit.

@Abhilash
When i was saying the above,i was referring to the mods with regard to rear-sets(rear brake),exhaust,porting ,Bro You know very well my position on lighting,my idea of mods starts and ends with performance or looks.

I will leave it to you to answer.

Abhi's waiting for the "right time" know when's that?

YES, I know He is waiting for dowry

Yeah!! i remember now,yes you're right,Abhi was talking about the very thing the other day saying he had HUGE plans for his girl(fiero) once a girl(dowry) enters his life.The way in which he was hungrily looking at a FZ's rear(like it was heavenly maiden/Rathi's rear ) that day at the parking lot,i think his fiero will get a FZ rear once dowry is assured.

barabar because a wife will only give kharcha
@nano-not come yet,will call u after it comes,will be ready with my tool box when you start barbecuing my bike

FZ handle will come in my bike along with FX doom in next service bro,

Coming to Rear sets - To each his own, U like something to work out cheaper & even if it does not look good, for Nano it may be different, he wants his bike to look good along with meeting his requirement.

I very well know this, you & ligthing are poles apart & this has been proven with you running your bike with light focusing on to tress & 3rd floor apartments

Pouring kerosene on Fire Eh

When Vitamin M is their , along with some free time, that is the right time

Lol, Lo what is your Intention, to put me in Parappana Agrahara Eh

Same ans as above quoted for Shreeni

What else you expected, Ghee?

You can see the relationship in the above red colored words.


I don't know where it is

@ gix

Buddy, i wanted a custom made one only to save cash like you said earlier, but my rear footrest holder holds the silencer, it was too near the front, and i couldn't do anything to it as it holds the silencer altogether.

We did try to achieve front sets 2 inches behind, but even then the pillon's feet will touch my ankle, and the pulley just mm's away from my toe secondly, now since we tried 3 inches behind the rear pillion's feet and my feel won't rest of the respective footrests at all.
In 4 inch setup, well the rider can keep his feet on both the footrests (front and rear) as its just almost 1-2 inch away from each other.
As we couldn't have modded the silencer holding thing without working on the entire thing at all, had to go for this.
as i wanted the silencer as well as the saree guard properly intact, with a 4 inch behind footrests, giving an inch of safe distance from the pulley, as well as safe distance from the pillion's feet.

I was left with NO OTHER option actually, had to do it, although even that wasn't a straight fit job at all, we had to design many many clamps and holder's with bushes and stuff.
Not to mention a herculean welding task to keep the side-stand in its position.

@ abhi

thanks again, well i wanted to do this no matter what.
but the best part is, that even after all this, the bike has become much much better than before (regarding the performance), as far as reliability is concerned, trust me, with a dip in the head its become much more reliable that what it was with ultra high compression, so for me its a upgrade in every department.
If i keep all the headlights off (daytime) this bike performs amazingly, as the pulley doesn't need any power at all.

even with the load, the difference is very less, its like riding with a pillion and without one.

BTW what section rear wheel are you running

@ shreeni

I think your addicted to this thread as so many of them.

Not much bro, Abhi is a good friend of my mine so a nice chance to pull him

BTW tried convincing my Dad for a Fiero but went for toss , never mind. Better luck next time Will keep trying till he get convinced

Most of the time that's how it is bro,"All's well that ends well "

Abhi has the widest wheel on any indian bike with spokes!!!! It's killing his bike slowly!!!!
Make Abhi's fiero as your project bike and let him finance it too.
Yeah bro at least see the positive side bro !! It was focussed so high that it was going way over oncoming traffic's sights!!!! I had been riding like that since god knows when

Guess you missed my previous post in previous page

This thread had been running for the past two years and just crossed 230 pages and 2300 posts...Most are exchange of technical info and O.T. posts are the least here...way to go.
