    IMO, RTR has the best reflectors in ANY Indian bikes...
    The stock bulb and the spread is even better than my R15! I have done a decent number of night rides on the RTR...

    The worst Indian performance bikes for night rides are
    - CBZ, ZMA, FZ, R15..

    The Best night riding tool is P220! or Avenger!
    Yups, Apaches have pretty good and wide throw....

    I also loved Ninjas beams...

    When both are ON I feel they have a better and more viewable spread than Pulsar 220....!!!

    Add smaller Pulsars to that 'worst' list....!

    However I am a little surprised to see R15 on your worst list....
    Is it so bad...??
    2002 - Pulsar 150 Classic (Still owned)
    2005 - Pulsar 150 Dtsi (Still owned)
    2006 - Eterno (sold)
    2008 - Dio (Owned)
    2009 - Pulsar 220 DTSi

      I agree. I have done the Chitradurga-Haveri stretch at night with RTR's stock lights.

        It isnt that bad, but on a bike like that you are bound to be faster and more confident due to inspiring brakes! That makes it bit pakau.. the R15 with the 35W HID is a boon for night riding!

          Dude..you should rate ZMA stock headlight as the worst of all, i have to blink to see if my headlight is still on or not, i tried a friend's Honda Unicorn and i felt that it was 100 times better than my ZMA. Need a change someone suggest

            My friend got a 55W for his ZMA. Pretty good.

                    Saddle sore can be avoided in a couple of ways... move your arse around every few KMS before the soreness bites in..
                    Like Guru said somewhere :P A dab of Nivea is all it takes and sore butt is history!

                    Great! Hope to see more of you on roads
                    Yeah, planning to get gloves and jacket soon..

                    After your shower, dry yourself thoroughly, apply 1 coat candid cream and then Nivea all around the "area" especially in the joints and edges...

                    I know this sounds yuck but it is the only solution!
                    thanks for the tip .. I would definitely try it next time around..


                    So, do you guys think Osram's as a replacement for the stock lamps would be fine for starters.. any ideas on pricing.. ?
