    Looks great. I think the new Apache's rear fender is like that. Did you change the stock tire?

        so how is it compared to the OEM tyre? I mean performance wise like handling, cornering and grip on graveled roads?

              Go for the existing one, I personally hate split seats, they are weapon of mASS destruction.

                  • The rx stand can't be used as a permanent mainstand for the r15 for a couple of reasons:

                    1. The bracket which is used to hold the spring is on the left side on the rx stand while with the r15, it should be on the right.

                    2. There isn't the metal bar extending out from the left leg in the rx stand which is used to apply pressure in a downwards manner when putting the bike on the stand. Without this, I found getting the bike onto the stand very hard.

                    3. The shape of the bottom of the legs is different. The r15 stand has a shape which makes putting the bike on stand extremely easy. The rx stand was plain flat and was difficult to use.

                    This is as per my own observations, I can put up pics for reference if anyone wants.

                    And when you can have an r15 stand which was built by yamaha specially for the r15 then why use a jugaad job is modifying the rx stand? I had bought the rx stand for lubing and when I felt the need for a mainstand in the r15 I got the r15 stand. Now the rx stand lays idle with me which I will gift to a friend, I don't understand the need to use rx stand as a permanent stand with the r15.
                    A good long ride can clear your mind, restore your faith, and use up a lot of fuel.

                          good one.
                          The stock seats are already hard enough and cause quite a bit of discomfort.
