        angel eye HID with rings that also self made
        Aditaya, how about some pics of the beam shots of the projectors and also some night shots of the LEDs on the tail lamp.

        Why did you sticker the reflector instead of painting it? Also, why did you remove the red plastic lens from the tail lamp?

              • Nice idea for the reflector. Looks different.

                I think the tail lamp will look better with the red part - now the circuit board shows though.

                Low beam looks good, if you have pics of the HI beam, post that too!

                So, are you running 2 HIDs on stock battery, or do you have something different?

Think I will go for the stock set up.
                  Having a tire designed for rear wheel operation at he front is an absolute NO! The front tires are supposed to have better water channeling(the groove that runs at the center of tire), and is designed to make the steering easier. With your current setup, your tire'll float when you go through puddles of water, and you'll have difficulty in turning the steering, plus some heaviness upfront. Also, the wheel's profile(curvature) changes, thus hampering the handling. This'll ultimately effect your front fork parts too.


                  Just stick to the stock tires if performance is all you want, people actually race on these tires on track and they're also designed to withstand really high speeds without blowing off due to heat.


                  And about the illumination, your best bet would be to get a projector+HID setup.You wont have any battery issues as long as it's a 35W HID. Dipping/Flashing wont be a problem if the projectors are "bi-xenon" projectors. HIDs on reflectors is not advisable, but that would be your next best option...even though it's dangerous for oncoming traffic.

                        The parts that were changed under warranty are:
                        1) The fairings on both sides, & the side panels - The new ones have minute changes in shape, & I believe are of a stronger material. No visible changes.
                        2) Black plastic panel behind the front wheel, & below the radiator - The new one has a mesh, as someone had posted earlier.

                        All the above parts were sent by Yamaha in 1 single carton, with a part number & the part name as "R15 Burning Kit ..."

                        I was told that all 2008 & 2009 models of the R15 are eligible for the change.
                        Congrats! So did you get the same old matt finish side fairings or pick up the white stripe ones?
                        Btw, I got a seat cover&handle grips for my bike from Orion-can't wait to get them on!
                        Quench my thirst with gasoline!

                            It is aftermarket, but is being sold in the showroom itself. It has been made to the shape of the bike's seat, and fits perfectly. It even has Yamaha written on the centre, and R15 written on the sides.
                            I will post a pic of it once I get it fitted onto my bike this weekend mostly.

                                The new ones same as stock. You will get the old one, with the golden R15 decal.
                                Waiting for pics of the accessories.

                                The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.
