      A motorcycle functions entirely in accordance with the laws of reason, and a study of the art of motorcycle maintenance is really a miniature study of the art of rationality itself.

          That is indeed a helmet lock.
          Mine is Blue Angel eyes, LED Fog Lamps, P220 Projector and 5000K HID and few "jugaad" to minimize power consumption. Will convert to full DC soon.

              • Completed 13000kms on my Apache7305. She is behaving just like the Duc GP machines; front-end problem! High-speed cornering is not at all confidence inspiring. There is a metal-metal/glass-glass collision-like noise from the front-end at times. Looks like a cone-set issue, anyone?!

                PS: @Drifty: JP, do you mean Julian Paul? Shame that he is out since the bloke was good in technical aspects. I have learnt a thing or two from him.

                      Although I am not that into electrical but the HID that is used is this.
                      Will post the pic soon of the HID when I will get it changed to DC

                      Anyways anyone using Slime in the tyres? Last week had 2 punctures in the front and 1 at the rear within a span of 3 hours. All because of 2 tiny nails and one staple pin.
                      Although the tyres are now 20k kms old, I think its time to go for new ones

                          Yes its fitted in the projector, as I have mentioned "Jugaad" is also there .
                          Will be going to the shop soon to change the look, will provide all the details then.

                          • Have completed 11000kms , will be giving bike for service soon,
                            can anyone help me out with a checklist of things that needs replacement(if worn out)
                            All i have in mind is these :
                            Spark plug , front fork oil , disc pads
                            Should these be replaced even if not worn out ?

                              Yes The Light Part is converted to DC.The Guy did it in just 5 mins .. ,

                              @prateek, I dint mean to be rude or anything but i had posted the query 2 times... from past 3-4 days and no one had replied so just said.. anyway,

                              A brief review of my lamps:
                              If u want to sacrifice lil brightness /visibility of the road then u can go for These hid lamps,(less expensive ones) cos the visibility is very much less than a halogen... maybe if we spend lot of money , we can get a proper bright HID
                              And One more important thing,
                              They will remove the glass by heating it up and while inserting it back, if they dont put the Seal back moisture will start going in and the glass will get foggy! ( Annoying) ... i went the second time to get it corrected.. since he had not put any seal for the first time!

                              @Drifty Thanks!
                              And yes thats a helmet lock on the right side..

                              And about that alignment of the angel eyes, when i told him he told this is how it will fit properly.. so i dint care much anyway it wont matter much in the night i guess...

                              BTW i got this done in Shree Scooter House in JC road.
                              The mechanic(name: Aman) is very good but he takes hell lot of cash for any fitting!

                              But i guess there is no other way!

                                I guess too many curse and swear words used too many times....
