    The bikes should have been more towards the right side in the image, you should have shown the background where your bikes are pointing. I hope I did not confuse you

        • 180 sprocket kit

          Guys, I have been trying to get the RTR 180 sprocket kit in Chennai from RAMKAY, Adyar for the past one month or so in vain. Can any one of you guys around the Southern States check for it and PM me if its available? Need it quite badly and I do not want to settle for the 160's sprocket kit. Am prepared to pay extra cost for the shipping...

                    Nops,dude. It is the same stock tyre. It has completed 16k kms as of now. Before i was planning on this trip(500kms to and fro), I was apprehensive of the rear tyre as it's out of useable tread and being monsoon season it might create problems. But to my surprise, during the entire course of the trip it didnt slip even once. At one point of time, it was raining heavily and i was had to catch up with the rest of group. Even i was riding flatout on the highway at the speeds of 100-110km/hr , the tyres never gave me a sweat. Still while cornering the rear feels wavy(not skidding) as if it's low on pressure.

                    Thanks, Guys for the compliments. Will upload more RTR pics, soon.

                      ohh!!! Tvs tyres do work well on straights...but while cornering they just give away......I have experienced those TVS tyres on my friend's Victor....also it depends on the rider how he manoeuvre the bike!!!

                            • @monz... you can install a 35HID with out changing to full DC. I did that once. But it will need to use a separate switch, which was very uncomfortable for me... also using HID in stock reflector is very bad for others due to too much glare.. and cop magnet... due to cop problem, i removed it.
                              Converting to full DC has its advantages of flicker free lighting, and you can use higher watt bulb like the NB.

                              theguitarfreak has converted to full DC... check this thread http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/desi-bik...s-all-day.html
