The weight of the rider and the pillion is also a big factor in the speed achieved.

And yeah I've done 144 kmph with crouching...
On a 220 with stock front tyres thats like doing 146+
So what?
Doesn't matter, on an average the P220 Fi in its stock form will hit only about 125-128 without crouching under most conditions and to go further one has to crouch, unless certain special conditions are there.
yup me also done 132 without crouching... but as u said Fi in stock can hit only 125 - 128kmph. so wht modification u have done in it ?Regard's

Rvm
The SVM's (Shoulder View Mirrors) the stock RVM's of the P 220, are totally useless. so started to experimenting with the RVM's and thought of extending the length and made the following setup:
This didnt work well in-spite of all the efforts, the welds broke-off after 2 days
, so i retained to stock setup.

So thought of fitting the R-15 or Fazer RVm's & below are the pics. this setup is working fine with excellent rear view, but with a small irritating factor. the RVM's are vibrating below 4K RPM & on pot holed roads with very blurred image, but as soon as the Revs climb up, the vibes disappeared and at speeds over 90 kph, they were simply superb.Biker of the Year -2013

You should be having an awesome rear view now. Pity, can't say the same for the bike though.Originally posted by frankpilli View Post Those mirrors seem too tall for it.

Looks sacrificed for safetyOriginally posted by abhijeet080808 View Post^^ Spoils the looks though!
yeah but the stock setup is too irritating, and very dangerous especially on the GQ at high speeds, i cant see the high-speed traffic (cars in the fast lane) overtaking me until they come to a bike's length behind, which proved too dangerous a couple of times.Originally posted by maraque View PostYou should be having an awesome rear view now.

ok. this looks ugly
But I will be going for it. Reason: I am bored of admiring my shoulders
@frankpilly: Is it a direct fit, and also, what is the total cost of the two mirrors ?Comment

Direct fit, yes, but the holes on the P220's mounting clamps needed to be enlarged to accommodate the Fazer's RVMs as they are slightly bigger. so i used a drill and enlarged the holes (originally threaded) the fixed the RVM's using 2 nuts.Originally posted by Mik View Postok. this looks ugly

logged on to xBhp after a long time... And what's this I see
No offence frankpilli, but its looks outrageously funny yaar
I feel the RTR mirrors are the best compromise between looks and functionality.
Btw, with the extended length this will actually weaken the frame holding the front fairing over a period time._________________________

Anyone faced/facing similar prob as below
Bike struggles at lower RPMs especially while riding in traffic.. accelerates suddenly after a big drop in acceleration.. i am facing this prob for a long time... 3 services done.. took to pbk for the same issue 6 times, but still not a permanent solution... Fuel filter changed, CO adjusted and whatever PBK did so far did not give a permanent solution; this prob is so unusually usual..._________________________________________________

Btw, with the extended length this will actually weaken the frame holding the front fairing over a period time. and these two days of riding, i didn't bother about the "looks" but the functionality is superb. but vibrating a lot below 4 k Rpm and as u said "with the extended length this will actually weaken the frame holding the front fairing over a period time" its true, and when riding in rush hour traffic, fearing a lot that the RVMs may touch other vehicles while overtaking .
so getting back to stock set-up with some mods to increase the RVMs length by 2 or 3 inches.Biker of the Year -2013
