And will the battery be able to take the load of the 55/60w lamp and also the aux light? And is it possible to fix a crash bar without removing the engine cowl? A single rod crash guard would do.

Then I can mount the aux light on that. Or else where can i mount the aux light if not possible to fix a crash guard?

PM Navnish and go for a 55/60 bi xenon...or if you want a 35/35 bixenon, mine is on sale

I am using xenons from last 1.5years and never had any issues.It is not very effective in rain/fog but definitely more than stock lamp.

Congrats on your successful trip. The tank pad looks cool. Do Honda have in other colors as well? Also, what's the M45 size your rear tire running?

Yeah...the tankpad is cool.
And satish, you have maintained the bike really well.
4 and half yrs..still looks new

Compression doesnt make much change in file size but it will be very tiring to attach and sent 100 pics in a single mail.

just a few steps you can make all files together attach it and send as single file easy to download also

through winrar or something

Hi Max,
I have put up a crash guard & removed the under belly(to reduce engine heat & it does). I have fixed up a Hella 550 aux lamp which uses a 55W H3 type bulb. I have the wiring done in such a way that at point 1 the left light goes ON & at point 2 both left & right lights go ON. But I am currently using just 1 light plonked on the left hand side. I have also got this clamp made, which can be fixed on the handle bar & you can plonk in an aux lamp there. But many suggested that it will blind the oncommers so removed it even without testing it. Some also suggested that it should be in eye line of the driver to give much better view. Check this link of IBA

IBA - World's Toughest Motorcycle Riders

My current setup of lights :
Pilot lamps : Philips Leds T10 use it all day long
Headlamp : 55/60w H4 Philips Extreme routed through a realy
Aux lamp : 55w H3 each routed through relay(But presently using just 1 as 2 might be an overkill for the 7amp battery).

Future planning is to plonk in a H3 HID in the aux lamp to reduce battery drain.

My bike was failing to start without choke... and mine's just 230kms old...
So my dad pulled out the sprarkplug cleaned it and put it back.. and bike starts as it did on first day.....
Here's a pic of my sparkplug before cleaning it, and sorry for LQ..

Its nearly 20MB.

Theres no point in trying to compress media(music,pic) with compression utility such as winrar etc(cause they'r not designed to work like that)... Cause the end result will be the same...

The best commercially available FILE compressor is WinRAR.... But theres an even better one which can compress upto 1/10 forgot the name but its the same thing used for the compression of rippped version of hitman game...
Original game size 1~1.5gb after compression 100~mb..

Every time after a rest period...
Like i press then no action then i choke and start and set idle abit high.... the i run after rinning for a while my idle reaches near to 2 and i reduce to 1.5... then i keep the bike stationary for a while.. say an hour... then when i come back... I DO THE SAME THINGS ALL OVER AGAIN...

Okeys its taken with my 5mp X3-02 but not that good in quality cause of the fixed focus...

Was able to cornor like never before with a pillion abd it saved my ass twice as i had to get off the road and onto the gravel once at 60kmph + and once at 80kmph +. it handled well!

Congrats for your trip and Cornering M45 is awesome.

Got this recently from a Honda showroom

Is this one for any particular honda modeL?

My 4 and half yr old bike!

Your bike looks new,How much you spend for renewing your bike like this?

Sorry out of topic,again if it helps some on here it is.It is KGB Archiver Compress 1GB to 10MB,I had used it eats up a hell of ram,processor and time.

Even out of focus your ground electrode looks fried......very whitish..and so is the center electrode. you need to adjust your AFR....turn the AFR screw anti clockwise by 1/2 turn....

Fairing

Due to the irritating vibes and noise I decided to remove my front fairing to-day and set it right...I was taken aback by the way the two layers of both left and right fairings were put to-gether , esp., the way they were connected to-gether at the front through the Headlight unit......The whole fixing reminded me of the Two -in - Ones we use to have in the 70s and 80s..The mounting studs were weak and had no real support, and each sub assembly was dependent on the other for support and strength.....Fewi qwick and M-Seal were the two good ingredients which helped me put things in order...
This kind of plastic fixing was strictly limited to light weight gently handled equipments, and has no Place in a bike...
No wonder the fairings break or rattle after some time....

I have the same setup on my bike and very happy with it.
Are you running the front tubeless or with tube. For some reasons i was unable to convert the front to tubeless.

Interested!

How is the 35/35 bixenon in the highway? Is it sufficient? And how much is the price?

I have fixed up a Hella 550 aux lamp which uses a 55W H3 type bulb.

This looks interesting..

How is the hella at nights in the highways? Is it ok if i mount it on the crash guard only? What about the cost?
