    Have used mirrors from Honda, Hero, TVS, and Bajaj on my P220 using P180 holders, all were a direct fit.

            Re: Honda CB Hornet 160R Owners Experiences

            My bike has completed 22600 km. I went for my paid service today and was asked to change Chain-sprocket, Rear disc, Both front and rear break pads, to do calliper service, replace balancer spring (something to do with clutch)
            Cost is approx 7k
            Does this sound okay?
            Also can i fit newer hornet's Chain sprocket set as it has O rings and better sprocket?
            I have the first gen Hornet.
            Can i fit pulsar 's bigger end bars to handle?
            Also, I asked if fitting LED is possible in my bike but they said it's not possible due to wiring
            Moreover, my tyres are almost done, so that will be like 10k for a set.

              No, you can't. Buy a new motorcycle that has abs.

                1. Price looks fine.
                2. Yes, chain sprocket is interchangeable. Some here in this thread has done it.
                3. Handle bar, But I things doable from custom shops.
                4. LED lamp of new Hornet is whole head setup. It's not just bulb. Better get off market light setup. Try Osram 40/45w plain or Rallye cool blue. I still not satisfied with LED lights. Sure they look super bright but the actual through is less.
                  I have changed to Xenon HID, it's like 3x more light and looks fabulous. Unfortunately, the product is not available online and manufacture didn't gave me much information.
                5. Tyre, how come it is 10K for MRF? Stock Zapper set will cost you 4.5K max and for Masseter set will come in 6K.
                  See the price here: https://www.mrftyres.com/products/tyres Select CB Hornet for compatible tyres. Check for Michelin dealers in your area. I think Michelin will be better for grip and looks better.

                  Thank you for the valuable input, sir. Between masseter and pilot street radial, what would you suggest?
                  Michelin is soft compound right? So its life will be less and will be puncture prone?
                  What will be the life of masseter?

                    Well Masseter would give more mileage but on other hand Pilot sporty will be radial and more sticky.
                    Masseter is as equally good but I think Pilot S̶p̶o̶r̶t̶y̶ street will have edge.
                    Mine run is 25K and I don't mind spending a couple of extra thousand for better grip and changing the tyre at 20K interval.
                    There are some KTM owners who were able to reach more than 30K on Michelin.

                      Masseter is as equally good but I think Pilot Sporty will have edge.

                      I think you confused Pilot Sporty and the Pilot Street.
                      Pilot Street is good.
                      Pilot Sporty is BS.

                          Pilot street is very puncture prone, from what I heard, is that right?

                            Also, which front tyre would you recommend with masseter rear? I've made my mind for masseter.

                              MRF website is not showing Masseter 100/80 52 .
                              But on Masseter page it's there
                              Honda CB Hornet 160

                              100/80-17 MFX
                              140/70-17 MSX-MCT
