- So who is the lucky one this time?

Inder Maybe..

[rkakkar]

Its a safety gear, its NOT supposed to slip!

You should check out my fake fox raptor knee guards which act a lot more like shin guards than knee guards, 30 minutes into riding. Quite similar to Alankar's Axxo Shin guards

For a second I thought I read something else...
That asides, there is no end to better illumination... you would try these, get bored, and then try HID.

Stick to a yellower light, preferably HID if your reflectors are good enough. the Osram and xtreme etc are JUST waste of money in the long run.

From the thread about Lights, opinion about HID is very mixed and confusing. Please suggest some yellower light with better illumination. the stock bulb is 35/35.
About reflector being good or not... i will show you the reflector in this G2G and then you tell me coz i dont understand much about them

I upgraded the stock in my FZ to philips standard 55 and I'm quite happy. But maybe that's because I've not seen anything better in "yellow" light. If I put HIDs in my FZ, I would have to wind my bike to start it in the morning as there is no kicker and my battery would die the minute I switch them. I'm exaggerating, of course!

The colour is not a bulb type, its a temperature.
Buy a standard HID that people use for R15. Just ensure to be on lower temperatures (I guess 3000k or 4300K) and you should be fine.

Higher colour temperatures would look nice and whitish\bluish but is useless in cutting on coming glare, rains and fog and glowing the street signboards (if you are lucky to have them enroute)

Ahem? the N650 doesnt have any thing new apart from a banana swing arm.

BLAH! not true. HID consumes lesser power and lasts longer!

Thanks Shrinath Rao.. I too belong to the group which wears non bionic ones inside the pants. Dont know to what degree its really helpful but i believe that on the first impact the non-bionic ones can slide away from your knee. Wearing it inside reduces the chance of it slidding off..not to a great extent thou.

+1..I too wear inside..now looking out for better low profile knee & shin protectors..will get it from US.

Hi Sid,
Check out the 55w HID. Those are yellowish in color (even though Navnish confirmed that it is 43K I didn't see actually) & better than 35w. Contact Navnish in light thread. But you have to use HIDs with projectors to cause less problem to the oncoming traffic. I use 35w Projector HID & is way better than the stock though feel insufficient sometimes. Check the battery limitations too. For HID Projectors you will have to remove the reflector or paint it black.
Regarding transparent visor for LS2, check with Poona Scooters 020 - 27422131, 27420249 it's a Pimpri number but they have shop in Pune too..can someone share the number..

Hi Rk,
It's a myth. No rewinding or battery issues. Using these for long..no issues...Need to be of better quality though.

I know . Planning to buy riding pants soon! Need to save money and make more! Would you be interested in buying elbow and knee guards?

Don't go for cramster.

[shrinathrao]

Don't go for cramster.

Dude Are you using the Cramster riding pants? All people are saying its good and you are the first person who says they are bad. May i know the reason why are you against buying cramster riding pants?

1. Osram Night Breaker Plus 60/55W - headlight

Sid

Nice upgrade though, but since its costly go in for some philips 55/60W H4 bulb. Its cheaper and it does the same job. I have a philips one installed on my bike.

Considering the stock lighting on the ZMR is 35/35. The upgrade to 55/60 is worth it. Osram gives the best illumination but not necessarily the best value. Phillips extreme power is the other one you can try. Cheaper than Osram, almost as bright.

+1.

Any suggestion for place where i can LS2 transparent visor?

Isn't it available at probiker?

[satyenpoojary]
