      Why don't you get it replaced by the HIDs? It would look damn good and would be wonderful for night riding.
      And your paint scheme and the headlight part is looking really really deliciously wicked.It's just wonderful.

          You can install the R15's battery itself and will the HID's work on AC setup?? If not, then there will be trouble converting AC to DC

            the battery's not the problem.

            it's the recharge rate which is the issue.
            the pulsar coil is no good for my setup.

            even considered adding on an alternator.

                              How many points are you on, at the chain tensioner Raman?

                              Yes out here in Delhi, where I get my SVC I saw 3 to 4 R15s getting there chain set changed within 15 - 17K on ODO, when I asked the mechanics and the service supervisor, they told since they dont get chain cleaned and lubed properly hence the chain's life get over by around 15k Kms on ODO. Though I got my chain set changed at 22500kms.

                              Also if you are riding in lot of rain, dust, touring, or you are into dragging or high speed riding, then also it affects the chain. Hence I think its alright for you to get the chain set changed completely.

                                Projector's focus is fixed. Only alignment can be adjusted. A pic showing the beam will help troubleshoot it better.

                                Approx 8k. No issues. But I switch the HIDs off at signals and have LED pilots. Ride at above 3k rpm and you will be fine.

                                Put in HB only. And make sure to remove pilot bulbs with LEDs, else disconnect them.
