I have been using Osram NB for 6 months now. Pretty good lighting I must say.
Reflectors are different on both ZMA and R. Hence the difference.

There are no black spots IMO.

Where is the black spot, near or far or in the middle?

The NB on Rakesh ZMR has wider beam spread on high beam. A high beam should have a pointed beam that carries to longer distance. NB on my ZMA produces pointed high beam, but the spread is only a little wider. Are you sure your high beam is pointed?

I found black spots in middle and far light....

In ZMR beam spread due to wider headlight .....

Hi All,

Will be parting my White Angel after 34400 Kms in 1002 Days till now.
Officially the Name Transfer has been initiated today.

Yes I am very saddened but has been done since I am moving to Chennai.
Hence I would be little disconnected from this Thread.
Please PM me Bikers if you have any query.

Some needs to be done for the rear disk supporting/holding rod on righ hand side?? As I see very less space between the stock tyre and rod.. So I doubt whether 120 will fit in tht gap???

It's not exactly pointed per se, but not parallel either. ZMR has a wider oval reflector than ZMA's squarish ones, hence it spreads more and looks less pointed.

Everything happens for a reason. Get yourself a CBR for office rides and a Ninja 650 for weekend rides. Coming down to Chennai in March. See you soon

Flatten the rod. Aneesh bro has done it on his ride, since he was using M45.

Thanks bro at last got the answer that I was looking for.. no one was able to understand my point... Anyways can you suggest me the way to flatten it??? Anwwsh can please guide me, as I don't want to spoil anything in an heist and stilll want 120 PSD...

And I thought u wanted PSD 110 - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...a-zmr-670.html

It doesn't matter how wide is the headlight. Any reflector is designed to focus the maximum intensity of the light focus to the needed area. Low beam causes spread of light in shorter distance. A high beam should be pointed so that it should travel maximum distance. On high beam, there will be spread of the light to the sides but thats very little amount. Most of the light intensity is pointed so that the rider can see long distance. If you observe the beam pattern with stock headlight, you can observe clearly that high beam is more pointed, though the intensity is low due to 35w filament. The reflectors in any Indian bike (barring 2-3 bikes) are designed keeping in mind the 35W bulb. In general the length of the 35W bulb and a 55w bulb are different in sizes. This causes improper focusing and spread of light.

Sometimes the position of the filaments in the bulb also differs in each brand. All the 55/60w bulbs are designed for car reflectors. Though we get good intensity of light by using these bulbs, sometimes the spread of beam will be uneven if used in reflectors designed for 35w bulb.

The Osram nightbreaker bulb thats in my ZMA is more than 5 years old. The low beam spread is good and the high beam is not very perfect, but its okay. It points straight for long distance, but also spreads to sides a bit more than required. The same Osram NB in Rakesh's ZMR, instead of pointing the light to long distance, it spreads the light, almost like an extended low beam. This is not because the ZMR's headlight is wider; its because of the Osram NB bulb design. There might be difference in design of the NB bulbs that is 5 years old and the recent one.

I have used 55/60W Osram Silverstar in my Dazzler. The stock bulb produced one pointed beam with nice spread, though low in intensity. With Osram Silverstar, though the low beam is good, the high beam is not pointed. The light is more scattered and not pointed and doesn't travel long distance. Problem here was the incompatibility of the bulb and the reflector.

I going to use Philips Extreme Vision 55/60w bulb and see how good is with ZMA's reflector.



PSD is 110 section. AFAIK, there is no 18 inch 120 PSD tyre available in India. Do not use bigger tires; it affects many things. If you just fit it without understanding them, it would cause more problems than being good. I suggest you to stick with 100 section tyre.

As Sharan said, everything is for good. Sometimes we have to let go things.

Now this is something new I didn't know about. Thanks for the info bhai.



PSD is available in 18" 120 mm sizes bro. Look at the link - http://www.xbhp.com/talkies/motorcyc...a-zmr-670.html
Guys have put it on ZMR as well.

Nice info...but i still suggest not to buy xtreme...i had used in my car too and also faced the issue of black spot in car as well as in ZMR...

Okay. I will try exchanging if somebody else is using here in Hyderabad. I would like to use it in my ZMA and see how it does, just for personal clarification.

Hey guys, I have just replaced my 35W bulb with a much underrated Dela 60/55W bulb & i must say that the light is good enough for riding.. I got it from a Hyundai SVC near my place for 82 bucks only.. Is an NB worth the spending ! Though i wont deny that an NB might just produce a bit more light than the Dela bulb, but i guess " a bit more only " ???

Prior to Osram NB, I had normal Philips 55w bulb - 75 bucks. ---> way better than stock.
After the bulb got damaged in the SVC, they replaced it with a Dela 55w bulb ---> free for me but 80 bucks outside ---> similar to Philips 55w.

Changed to Osram NB after reading +ve reviews. These Dela/Hella/Philips 55w (normal ones) simply bite dust in comparison.
