    Personally I think its not wise to go for a karizma at this point of time. If you're looking for a new bike then you can post a query in what bike section of this forum. BTW if a naked bike is what you want in that price range you might want to consider Apache RTR 200, it got some pretty good reviews.
    Thought so too. Unsure of the RTR as I don't believe that it caters to tall and heavy riders. The rtrs and pulsars are made for the height of under 5'9 for the knees to fit into tank recess. Thanks for the revert though.

      Here is the link for morrors
      Generic 1 Pair Universal Motorcycle Motorbike Motor Rearview Rear View Side Mirror https://www.amazon.in/dp/B01AG91OCC/..._F4LTybXMSFA40

      Its price may show you more than 1200rs, but i bought for 680 rs on amazon as rates differ time to time.

      And one more major update, now i have resolved my handlebar issue, i bought karizma zmr 2009 version clipon handlebars and put them on my bike, fits perfectly well, now it really feels like a karizma to ride
      Have only 2 photos for now


      No backpain and wrist pain now, and pillion also sits comfortably now.
      Too excited to go for long drive

        You are welcome. You can test ride the respective bikes to see what suits you.

          Original zmr handlebar will cost you around 4300 for pair, but i went to kurla cst road and bought it for 800rs and then coated and heat treated in black colour.

          As per pillion comfort its definately improved, because earlier rider was leaned forward because of which there was too much gap between pillion and rider, so on braking pillion will just slide down to rider seat [emoji1] . But now as rider seats more straight and towards back so pillion can seat more tightly now on rear seat.

            Hi guys, help me figure this out. If I rotate both front and rear wheel with my hand then some loud noise can be heard. However it isn't affecting the bike performance or anything. I have made a video to demonstrate the problem. Link to the video

              This is awesome. What's the fork dia of this bike? Asking because I'm planning similar stuff with my R15 without screwing up the fork height or stuff.

              Regards.

                  The constant rubbing sound makes me feel that the brake pads are shot and there's metal to metal contact. Or that your brake rotor is bent. If either is true, you would need to replace both the rotor and pads.
                  For the second noise, resembling a bird chirping is from the axle having gone dry. Get it lubed again. An overhaul of the front wheel assy would do your bike wonders.

                    Apart from what Mr.Divya Sharan had observed, do check up the front wheel bearing for wear and lubrication .

                      Thanks to you both. I will get the break pads and wheel bearings checked. And ignore the bird chirping sound it is actually coming from real birds.

                          Planning to change stock tyres with more grippier alternatives. For front there is a MRF masseter with soft compound but for rear I am not finding many options. The best I could find is CEAT vertigo rage. CEAT claims it to be dual purpose tyre but it is not widely available. Does anyone know a better option ?

                            Stock front is 80/100-18. Masseter has an 80/90-18 option but not in the stock size.
                            While Masseter is earning rave reviews, MRF Vyde (100/90-18) and MRF Zapper Q (100 and 110/90-18) are good rear tires.

                              90/80 - 18 translates to sharper handling. Masseters for P220 carries the same ideology, with a width frop at front.

                                True. But I feel 90/80-18 would become too low a sidewall for Bangalore craters. I searched 90/90-18 (front), but to no avail.
                                Also speedo error with 90/90-18 would be negligible.
