    Removing and re installing fairing is PITA ! Inside bracket was broken, svc was asking ~2k to replace it... I got it welded for 30 bucks ...

    Also installed Zapper Revz s 130/70 since SIRAC was skidding a lot... Now bike feels more flickable ... Going to install FY1 90/80 in front tomorrow, will post the pics later...

      Welded? Bracket? Which bracket did you weld, did you got it welded on the metal stay or where? Help me out!! I had a crash just three weeks back, and my impact just smithered the plastic fairing brackets and the entire metal stay on which the fairing sits, was out of shape to the right. So total damage 4k including the fairing, stay, service etc.

      Cheers!

      Once upon a time, a guy asked a girl 'Will you marry me?'
      The girl said, 'NO!'


      And the guy lived happily ever after and rode motorcycles and watched sport on a big screen TV, went fishing and surfing, and played golf a lot, and drank beer and scotch and had tons of money in the bank and left the toilet seat up and farted whenever he wanted.

          And you expect we would suggest some fat tyre just like that? First let us know why you are looking for fat tyres in front. If it is just for looks you can try anything you like.. Note that change in Front tyre profile directly impacts the handling. So study the difference and take a call.

            Its the "metal stay" which I'm referring as bracket ... See if it can be brought back to original shape then you'll only need new fairing... Here svc take 350 bucks to replace fairing + 350 bucks to replace metal bracket as labor...

              Thanks baba. My stay was bent at 45 degree, and I asked them if it can be mended. Few guys came hurrying, looked at the bike, shook it for a while holding the fairing. With a grim grin, they said, sorry sir you gotta replace your stay.

              But thanks on the info.

              And BTW nice pair of shoes for the ride. Price and details will be appreicated.

              Cheers!

                  That's great. I knew it was R15s the moment I checked the rubber. Ride safe!

                    The FY01 looks a lot like the FX

                    Is the profile formed also similar? I need to get rid of my Pirelli Crap Demons asap!

                            The one on the FZ is Zapper FX .. it fits on our bike, but I hated it!!

                            Check out this vid from last year.. Just watch the first few seconds to know one of the reasons why I hated the Zapper FX

                              Sheesh..! That sucks, really slushy situation, but i do have to clear one doubt, are you referring that its not so good on the 220 or for the fz too ? I have been riding a brand new fz for about 1k kms now, and the tyres are holding up very good, on tarmac and slight bumpy roads too,haven't tried out really wet roads, though roads with moderate showers it did perform ok.
                              P.S: All observation was within the run-in speed limit, so cant be sure if its the case in emergency or panic braking.

                              Cheers

                                Whoa! That's a close call all the way. Oh boy! As my tire is nearing its life, I am getting even more sweaty palmed on which to choose from, and all this have only added to my woes.
