      Me too thought about that,as you said,making a hole in plastic is very easy. Any one knows how much does these guards costs?

      I have tried covers from pulsar, Gladiator but all are weak and tear apart after a few days...I suggest you may try the one from Apache also.
      Is apache's a direct fit?

            If you have time...kindly go through the engine oil section to understand and learn about different oils that are available in the market. Please do some research before you could ask a question. We are here to help, however, if there is some level of understanding would help the seniors to give right answers.

                It will cost you nearly 5000RS.Check this thread. The ZMR to ZMA clip on handle bar project

                    Oh!

                    I thought ZMR has bettered ZMA-R in the tail light section with LEDs. Infact, it is one of the upgrades according to HH.

                        Yes, I agree. They could have just added the LEDs alone and left the blinkers like it used to be in ZMA-R. Anyways, it sells!

                        OT:- I visited the showroom today and saw the same ZMA-R standing still beautifully smeared with dust and gave a new blend to the color white. God knows who's the lucky guy to get his hands on. Right now, I have disengaged the idea of taking that bike and waiting for the new lot to arrive. They say 'Patience pays'; however, I have paid and being patient enough!

                            Zeeshan - I see this is your 2nd post on this forum. I'm not sure if you have already introduced yourself in 'Who are you?' section, if not yet, kindly do so. Thank you!

                              Yes gulf is a car engine oil and so is castrol magnatec which people in xbhp recommened for Karizma.See the link Castrol India - Castrol Magnatec
                              Gulf 10w40 is of same spec as of magnetec and at the same time cheaper so wanted to know which is better as it could help other members too.
                              And i have gone through the engine oil section the 10W40 car oil(magnetec, gulf) seems more ideal as it helps for wider operating temp of the engine and has more drain period. I see no harm in using a car oil of right spec as long as its a four stoke oil. Pl pour in your thoughts too and correct me if i am wrong.

                                I would suggest a rational thinking when it comes to compare with examples quoted. They may be right, I may be wrong!
                                When there is no difference in the spec for the link specified, why they did not utter a word that this oil would also cater two wheelers? Have you thought about it? Moreover, there will be temperature operating range for each category classified. I would only suggest you to make comparison in the same vertical. There are people who had tried the multi-grade/car engine oil have suffered performance output.

                                There might be many things running inside your head after seeing this post. All I would say is if you are willing to experiment, do a test by running the Castrol Magnatec /car oil and let me know. I would be glad to learn few every day.
