    Kindly enlighten with details..
    Increase in CC results in more breathing space for the engine, thus increase in top end. Not sure if the above explanations right though. If wrong then I guess even stock ZMA can reach the above mentioned speeds, and all that Joels mod's do is get is there quicker.

    Yeah, in an earlier post, when asked Joel said that he drags with only one shock, for weight reduction.

      Rubber padding one? Didnt get you. Axxo pads are very good pads and many are using it and the only problem is the Scratch on the tanks. So most of them have glued a rubber piece to avoid scratches.

      rs 3500 .. hmmm i have a jacket ... looks good ... will wear tht and then elbow guard if it fits ... else ....
      Which is your jacket? Can you post a pic of it?

            well , when we wear those knee pads, its gona touch the tank rite ...and create scratches... so to avoid those ... if the corners/upper part of the guard is of rubber, then scratches will be avoidable ...

            Which is your jacket? Can you post a pic of it?

            its a normal jacket ... i got this jacket from my bro and the gloves too ... when i bought my white angel ... and unfortunately i wasnt aware about the xbhp at that time + never thought abt the safety while riding

              Why would they want these massive 9AH battery in a drag race , while they lose one rear shoker to shed weight ? Wouldn't just this battery weight about twice that shock-absorber they lost ?

                  If its white, then that means its lean. Lets wait for PSR sir's reply.

                          Over-lean and hot engine , plus lots of slow-riding . In traffic ?

                            To me, it looks similar to my plug by looking at the pic. I see there is black coating on the outer ring suggests, dry and defintely not lean.

                              You get wear the elbow gurads over the jacket & the knee guards under the pants. Also for Rs.3500/- you will not get a good branded jacket here in India, unless & untill someone here is selling it because of size mismatch. You can check the below mentioned sites for the jackets & request somebody to bring it in from US.

                              Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Accessories ? BikeBandit.com / MotorcycleGear.com (the new name of New Enough) :: Motorcycle Jackets, Helmets, Gloves, Boots, Luggage, Parts and More!

                              I have ordered both my jackets & gloves from these sites & they are very good & you can also have an online chat with them. They are very helpful.

                              Hope this helps.
