    We have the place under seat near air intake, Their we can hold a 3.5amps battery easily.

    have too many cosmetic cahnges planned, some might even improve performance as the will reduce electrical load
    How can you install a border lights in headlight bcz i'm also trying the same. but for that, i think we have to open the headlight assembly.

    This is the my reference model

              for the border intrims, one way is to install inside the dome, but that requires for opening it . but another way is to place it right across the gapbetween the dome and front cowl, for now i have flashing lights bordering it, am not too happy with it . the flashing looks good only when am driving in the rain , not much in regular night.

              but if you want to put it into the dome, follow these steps . (mind you i have not personally tried it , i want to but am worried about loosing my dome because i dont have experience in it, if i can open my dome , man my twisty wont be a twisty no more )
              1. Remove the dome from the cowl bt removing the beam focus bolt from below and then pry the clips holding the dome to the cowl.
              2.ensure u have removed the headlamp and all rubber components attached and also the bulb holder clip and screws.
              3. keep a couple flat head screwdrivers in hand , try to keep them short but with broad heads. And pre-heat an oven to its max temp (around 180-220 C)
              4. NOw place the dome into the oven , while keeping it in an aluminium foil.
              5.wait 10mins and pull it out (wear protective apparel), following the holder clips try to pry it open with the flst head screw driver, it it opens start placing the other screwdrivers to hold them in place
              6.if parts tend to cool , replace the dome back into the oven, continue till you have it all completely out.
              7.now that u have the dome separated , all that you want .
              8.Place the dome back together , and reheat, but this time after its out pressure the dome parts so that the a fused once again
              9.As a safety precaution you might even use rubberglue (or putty) to seal the edges.
              10. all is done, place the dome and cowl back , and enjoy the beauty.

              PPl this is something i have come accross seeing my friends do it on a fazer and R1, am still trying to get myself to do it, as i will have to do this if i want to put bigger more powerful pilot lamps..

              the current pilot lamps i am using a lessthan some .35W (yes 00.35 watts).. if i can get may be 7-12W ones they would equal 21W halogens (a total of 40-50W halogen equals)

                K&N model = RC-1060 costed me 1500 bucks in Chandigarh , mech. took 100bucks for fitting !!

                  thank you dude... i will check it out at my place
                  but mechanic charges would be more at my place

                    Why we have to try this much critical jobs if anything went wrong then we have to buy a new one it's costing 700 bucks, Today i went to Pudhupt there they are charging Rs.150 for removal & re-fixing the Reflector assembly.

                    By the way today i got fixed two 60w aux lamps, Costs Rs.250 for pair & wiring,switch + installation 250rs. I've used the number plate mounting for mount the lamps.
                    The main use of this lamps is for to give the pass bcz i'm using HID so can't use the HID for pass & the halogen in HID setup is really worst. No one can able to notice that.

                    You can see the ROOTS Mega-sonic Horn behind the number plate.

                    My next plan is to ADD a Extra Battery today i've checked, in our bike under the seat we can keep a 3.5amps battery easily. So going to buy a new one & connect it parallel to the old one.

                      AUX lamp of 120W total ?? where is it connected to ? AC or DC.? is it not excessive load ?

                        Two batteries of diff amp.hr.ratings should not be connected in parallel as their internal resistances are diff.local loop formed will discharge your cells.Same capacity ones can be done.

                          Both are running on DC supply. It's connected by separate switch but while i press the pass all the lights will glow except HID.
                          Ya it's too much load only but i'll use it only on Highways at higher speeds so that time charging rate also will be good.

                          Ya you are correct that's why i've dropped my plan to connect a 5 or more amp battery. Now i'm going to add one more 3.5amps battery in parallel, i think i can able to get 7amps total output.

                          Correct me if i'm wrong.

                            dude totally not a good idea unless you have recoiled the strator really strong like to produce some 280W or more. Just do the calculations of all the load its way past 200.. and even at high speeds its too much stress on the battery unless its atleat 12ah (even that will die in months time)..

                            yeah theoretically you should get 7ah, but realtime will be lower due to different battery condition, and load will weaken it fast..

                            if possible try getting 15-25W LEDs, the are equal to having 60-90W halogens in terms of lighting, that way all load will be in limits and less worries..

                              I asssumed that the two aux lights are going to be used as pass light .Making them LED is very ,very fine .In this context he is OK. In a situation he uses it for continuous lighting, in about 15 min.the battery will be down. and bike will stop working as the cdi is DC.
                              Simply rewinding the stator will not increase the capacity of your alternator.pl. ref your manual for correct capacty. If iam right it may be around 120 watts only.surely it can not support 200 +watts.

                                I've searched the LED's but not able to find the exact shop.If anybody knows please inform me.
                                Ya if i use it continuously it'll surely kill the battery,But i'm mainly going to use this to give pass.For continuous usage i'm having HID.

                                Even without battery also we can operate the bike i've tried.So battery drain will not affect the bike working, the only thing is, if there is no battery even the AC powered light also will not glow brightly, i don't know what's the reason behind that.

                                rewinding+RR swap maybe will deliver around 10-12amps,
                                But rewinding is my last option if i couldn't able to find the LED's
