    Well a 120 section fits, with around 5mm or less clearance from the swing arm, for the rest you can do the math or just try it. Maybe just get a FZ?
    Beware of Bread, don't say I didn't warn you!
    More than 98 percent of convicted criminals are bread eaters !
    Statistics show that more than 75 % of violent crimes are committed within 24 hours of eating bread !
    Bread is known to be extremely addictive. Subjects deprived of bread and given only water, actually begged for bread after just two days !
    Bread has been proven to kill. Scientists have now uncovered alarming evidence that 100% of the people who eat bread will eventually die !

    • yes a 130 tyre will fit.

      a 140 will fit too.

      are you talking bout putting the tyre on the R15 rim? or the FZ rim?

      i've seen an R15 with a FZ rear rim.

      there were no issues with it touching the swingarm.

        Pray, where did you all of this wrong info? Idling is okay while starting in the morning for a minute (max)

        Heck, even my diesel Car requires a 30secs idling. She purrs like a kitten post that.

          • a 130 tyre will look thinner than a 120 on an R5 rim.

            if you plan on up-sizing just the tyre... i'd recommend a 120.

              What is a decent price to expect from a May 2010 R15 with 24,000km on the ODO. Bike maintained well, with last 5,000km done on Joel's big-bore and air filter. No other mods. Please let me know soon..

              ~Akshay.
              I guess 75-80 should be a fair deal, considering OTR blore is 117K...
              BTW, which bike r u upgrading to??

                I contacted one of the Xbhp fellow in bangalore and heard, for an expert to install HID with projectors i need to ride chennai.

                I checked the link you mentioned , it looks like this comes as a kit (Projectors and HID kit). Which product from this is like yours ?

                        These Projectors were installed on YAMAHA R15. I sourced them from my friend who is owning a shop were he sell's these , I bought from him for 6.5k with installations . Well coming to the installation part i would say only experts should handle this firstly remove the headlight assembly and then use heat gun to open the case then paint them black ( I used black spray can ) just screw them were the stock blubs were installed then and reseal the assembly with a special sealant which doesn't let water to enter. And then wiring was done , By then it became night ! That's when i knew the real power of these projectors . When nearing my home i used my pass , which lead to a guy looking up thinking it was lightning .

                        Pictures coming soon .

                            I checked the stuff from the site. Its awesome. And i read the FAQ they mentioned, was helpful. I think you mentioned earlier that you got this done from chennai rite.

                            Can you please share your friends number (private message me), would really be helpfull.

                            And btw which "K" you purchased ? I plan to buy 8000K blue color.
