      Unless you have more than 30bhp of power, double discs are not needed. Infact, they can be dangerous! If the braking is too powerful and your bike isn't heavy or fast enough, then your front wheels wheel lock out and slide immediately at any speed. You don't want that happening bro, trust me.

      Technically speaking, attaching double discs shouldn't be much of a problem. You can get another front disc set up from the SVC and do the job with the help of a skilled mechanic/welder. You'll probably need a bigger brake fluid cylinder and the hydraulic cable placement needs to be worked out.

      I say, don't do it
      D'oh!

        Hello Friends,

        I faced a issue with my battery on Saturday, Initially i had connected both stock head lights on low beam, but 15 days back i installed 35 watt HID on the high beam in the same format as the old stock where in low the hid and stock headlight used to come on.
        As city riding i cant rev my bike beyond 3k rpm so charging was like quiet less but on saturday night initially i got the orange light glowing continously and alter after some time the bike was completely shut down.

        Finally i had to sit and remove the wire which was connecting both lights on low beam and do a push start.

        Now i would like to know if there is a possibility to put a bigger size battery which can take care of all this issues without doing any major electrical changes.
        Well, I have two batteries. The extra one sits in the underseat storage compartment No problems with HIDs.
        D'oh!

        • Guys I bought my Blue R15 2 months ago and I am planning it to make it completely look like Rossi Edition...This is how it will look



          My question is

          Will the painter be able to make the bike similar just by looking at the pic and what will be the total cost

                        One is the regular stock battery, but the other is an Amaron 12v battery. They are connected in Parallel. I'll post the pics later.
