      pretty old beats audio bluetooth headset.
      no idea of the model. but any bluetooth headphone would work really.
      opened it, soldered a boom mike and separated the speakers and i was good.

          much better way to do it actually than lets say using a sena.
          a pair costs 16000.
          here a pair setup would cost max 4k.
          use mobile balance of avg 50 bucks for each trip.

              [QUOTE=Adilkadri123;1132514]Sounds like fun. Do post Some pics

              ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----



              Maxed out once at 216 kph on a sv650.That was a rush! The thought going thru my head was if I crash at this speed its game over lol


              Last night, I touched 138kmph for the first time in my life on a two wheeler(and that too with a pillion). Boy o Boy, the feeling was great. It did not feel scary. The bike felt very planted and sturdy at those high speeds. When I push my Pulsar 200F to around 110-115, there is a scary feeling or I may call it an unstable feeling. Now I understand how guys are riding superbikes at speeds in excess of 250 kmph. The RC390 has to be praised because for such a light bike, there is no wobble at high speeds and the brakes and suspension respond well at those speeds. I somehow cannot get the thoughts out of my head that the engine wont last too long because of the high compression on a single cylinder engine. I have done some stickering on the bike. Will post some pics soon.

                There are many people who still feel heavy means more stable. However, the engineering today is so complex that there is no direct correlation of one factor with another. Motogp bikes are just 150-160kg and still are no where close to their stability limits while running around 340-350kmph.
                The design, suspension, chassis, everything contributes to handling and stability. Keeping the flaws aside, Ktms are very well designed bikes which perform very well in their respective environments, whether it's dirt, track, long distance or urban.
                Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

                    Lovely. You're sticker set looks amazing not matter how many times I look at it.

                    You had the bubble screen as well no? haven't installed it yet?

                            Had this on mind since the day i got my bike. 2 hours of hard work and maybe a glass of sweat later:

                                I was on a lookout for these traction dots since day one. Stompgrips were expensive at 4.5k, and Keiti traction dots were for 2.6k.
                                I tried searching for a cheaper option, but couldn't find anything feasible. So got the keitis from planetdsg, mumbai.
                                To begin with, keep the bike and the dots out in the sun, mark the area of thigh contact with sketchpen, use rubbing alcohol and cotton to clean the area, and stick the dots.
                                Needs some adjustment as you come down, but not a big deal.
                                While sticking these, ensure no air gets entrapped, else its a huge p.i.t.@ to remove bubbles from each dot.
                                The glue seems strong, and unless someone fingers around, I dont see any reason why they should come off.
