    Windshield fix is so far with drilling holes. One of the guy on YouTube has fitted KTM part.
    Its just for looks. Its not that i m going for it but just asked

              OP asked for Honda seat cover, which had thread around it, and no pinning required.
              Just need to adjust the cover well, ASC guys do it quickly.

                Yes bro. Any business will always earn more money than entry level jobs. Chill and Excel in IT. Good luck from your IT colleague! [emoji6]

                  Guys, thanx for all the help and info. I've narrowed it down to Unicorn 160. Hornet is a GREAT machine, but I prefer the straight riding position and the heel-toe shifter. Am getting old. Am 35 years right now and apparently (no matter my mindset), my body wants a straight riding posture than a leaning one.

                  I am SO HAPPY to know that Unicorn 160 comes with a heel-toe shifter by default. Also, it will provide better pillon comfort for my wife

                  Thanx guys. Couldn't have done it without you

                    Riding position of Hornet is more comfortable than Unicorn if one gets accustomed to it. I came from 2005 model Unicorn and I am older than you but I prefer Hornet to Unicorn in terms of comfort for long rides on Highway. Toe shifter is fine with sports shoe but may damage leather shoe look (like Woodland). Handling of Hornet is way better than (old model) Unicorn but ride quality is stiffer and a bit worse on bad roads. Anyway the choice is yours.

                            Both of you work safely and with the right tools - there's nothing blissful than getting one's hand greasy for a DIY motorcyclist. I myself do small small DIYs but not much (lazy-ness).

                              I service my bike myself as much as possible as the ASCs don't tend to do their works properly.

                                Hello guys!! New to this forum..
                                I bought my hornet 1.5 years back.
                                Its really awesome to rise. Pickup is really good.
                                Presently I am experiencing some tightness in engine, as if this bike has potential to ride very fast and smooth but something is holding back. Something tightens the engine or gears whatever. And the engine sound trrrrrr something like that.
                                Currently i have ride for 18k almost. I am happy with the beast. Put CBR oil every alternate service. Can someone please explain me about this weird things?
