    guys ...does anyone have information if there is a way to get hold of the indiviual parts from the Race kit..?
    I was looking for the back step assembly, the front rotar and the adjusting metal piece for the front brake caliper.
    Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

      IMO if you need to use two HIDs blasting to full glory in city condition, then you deserve to be bashed up and thrown in Jail

      I dont know of one good excuse to ride slow in a city with two HIDs on High beam
      In city a low beam can suffice the need. But my question is while using the dipper won't that affect the battery?
      Load on and off for seconds and secondly the battery will go kaput in this case to supply large building current repeatedly and that to intermittently. This is the reason for the doubt.

          AFAIK Some showrooms were clearing individual parts as well, but that was for Cams, ECUs etc. Try the showroom they are your best bet....

          A 35W HID will work exactly as your stock bulb. So if your battery lasts for your condition, then the HID will last as well! If your riding is a lot of city riding, I would suggest you use stock bulbs for low beam and a HID for high beam...

          Ping Navnish for HIDs!

            Delhi aab duur nahi...

            Finally, managed a 129 kmph with a pillion....where achieving 125 kmph (only rider) was difficult..
            The bike is day by day, raising its top end bar.

            Guys i need to ask you all that i am unable to reach 9k rpm mark in the 6th gear....which i why i am unable to attain high speeds...
            I saw videos on youtube where the bike touches 9.5 k mark achieving 140+ speed.

            though i am happy that i managed this speed & would certainly stop questioning my bike...

            p.s - the p220 dtsi... wasn't able to pass me... whom i had raced with...

              If you do it correctly then no P220 can overtake you!

              As far as I can recollect ur bike is pretty new, and have done few k kms.
              Is that right? If yes! Then let her breath man, day by day as the engine will get some more kms on Odo you would be happy to see the same engine going faster, pulling faster.
              As I had found on my previous R15 and my friends bike that its R15 engines criteria to get better with age.
              Thats it!

                Well Yes! The battery would fry providing the heavy initial current to two 35w HIDs flashing on H&L Beam every second minute. So thats not a great Idea to work on.
                Rather than that, a Solenoid will do better, with the same HID working for both H&L beam, flash it as much as you want, hence no frying and happy riding!
                Though if anyone is planning to do that flash thing, then for god sake shove it with a Projector, else it would blind a weak eyed person

                  if you want, i could arrange after market parts from abroad. Cheaper, but not closer in performance.

                  -Rear sets
                  - Bigger disc brake with mounting plate for calliper


                  Should cost you about 6-8k ( price to be confirmed ) landed here.

                    Firstly the R15 has single beam lamps right? In this case there is no point in using dipper. The reason being the HID will take over 10 seconds to glow to its full brightness.
                    Yes usage of dipper excessively will drain the battery.
                    The perfect setup would be get a good pair of HID's. Put it in low beam. Get a Osram NightBreaker. Use it for the high beam. Whenever u have lots of city riding use the NightBreaker for dipper. If u wish to ride long on highways change the NightBreaker to the other HID. On the highways with two HID's u dont actually need a dipper. However u can switch to low beam momentarily & then go back to high beam. The Ballast wont discharge soon. So as you go back to High beam the HID will be glowing at its full brightness.

                    Thats a good idea. But its not that simple. Lots of work to be done.

                      I second your point but the question is can the battery support the initial high current required? If it can then i feel its the best bet.
                      Doubt being coz I read somewhere long back about battery going down with long continuous use.

                        my friend has installed philips HID kit on his R15. And dipper does work. momentarily. Yes when you switch on the lights they take about 2-3 seconds to come to full beam, but even i had the same query. Dipper works.

                        His headlights function like the normal headlights, ( single low, double high, and flasher ), only they are HID. but the kit is damn expensive ~10k for the kit only. With warranty on the ballast.

                          Firstly the R15 has single beam lamps right?

                          AFAIK the left has dual beam for low and high. This you can see by looking in the reflector at low beam and then using the dipper

                          In this case there is no point in using dipper. The reason being the HID will take over 10 seconds to glow to its full brightness.
                          Yes usage of dipper excessively will drain the battery.
                          The perfect setup would be get a good pair of HID's. Put it in low beam.

                          Using HID in city without a projector will be like a cop magnet. As low beam will be always in ON position while the use of headlight.

                          Get a Osram NightBreaker. Use it for the high beam. Whenever u have lots of city riding use the NightBreaker for dipper. If u wish to ride long on highways change the NightBreaker to the other HID. On the highways with two HID's u dont actually need a dipper.

                          Well here i differ a bit. I feel that if you alternate between high and low beam that provides a better visibility. Not when there is traffic from opposite direction. Its a best technique for riding on dark roads. So the problem of dipper would remain.

                          However u can switch to low beam momentarily & then go back to high beam. The Ballast wont discharge soon. So as you go back to High beam the HID will be glowing at its full brightness.

                            @jd666: Could you please provide a link to the HID kit mentioned by you? I would like to evaluate the same as i am looking at buying a HID kit.

                                That's precisely what i wanted to know regarding the HID usage. Thanks jd666.
