    Xtreme vision is white on the low beam and has a yellow tinge on the high beam, this is best for rain or misty conditions.
    The throw is excellent and would light up the road. I have not used Osram NB or Philips Xtreme power, so cannot give you a comparison.

    I got my answer. Actually I needed white light. So I guess xtreme vision is the one to go for. Though the shopkeeper said these were white leds but turned out to be blue when lit in night. I was planning on white leds + white bulb but did not want to open up the hood again & again.

    Can anybody tell me where can I get white leds in Delhi and the cost as well?

      PSR:- I missed to check ZMA rear tire on the right side if it has any rub after the run. Also, got my RX serviced and now smooth.
      As long as you don't change the alignment it will be ok....make sure you have correct tire pressure.

        So you didn't bend the Linkage rod?

          No it was not done and the full chain guard was fitted and the whole thing aligned.

              May be tire was not fitted in bike properly....or earlier ZMA had narrower swing arm mount

                Initially thought would need to mod to get the biggie in. However, after aligning the wheel straight, had enough gap to run without abrading the tire wall on both sides. I'm confident of this set up. However, would check wheel position regularly just make sure.

                I remembered talking with you before making the purchase, Shouted Aneesh inside me after the incident, lol (just kidding). Then it is all experience and an opportunity to learn.

                I just did below 60 odd kms and mostly in traffic, I felt the bike grown taller? , also found myself coping with the change. It would be fair to give a report after doing on highway.


                @Prashk:- I'm retaining the front as of now. I don't want to go for 3.00 in the front. Possibly steering might not be easy, my thoughts.

                  Oops! I guess the wheel alignment isn't right in my ZMA then, plus its a ZMA-R. I'll get it done soon.

                        Sriram - what do you think is the issue with my ZMA? is it the rear wheel alignment or rear tyre?

                          M45 was a good fit when i got it like some 8-10k kms back. But i had a problem when i replaced the chain kit. It started to rub on the swingarm, chain guard and link guard. My mech somehow fixed it without bending anything. But it still managed to rub on the swingarm when riding with a pillion. Now its solved since the chain has loosened up a bit!

                            How come everyone's getting the 4.00 section of the M45? 3.75 section would be a direct fit and hassle free. Its lighter compared to the 4.00 section and does not cause as much relative change to your final drive ratio...

                                I have changed my rear tyres to Zapper Q 110/90-18 a few days back. Suddenly I noticed yesterday that my tyre was rubbing against some part on the right side(on the exhaust's side). What can be the reason and what would be the solution. I am worried to take my out .
