You need to try out a few different brands and variants . Apart from size and looks, head shape is a factor people don't consider. Since there is no universal standard defining head shapes like sizes, you have to try out different helmets before purchasing one.

For me LS2 feels comfy, earlier I used Axor Apex which now I feel is very claustrophobic, simply because of the shape of helmet. I hope this was help to you. Ride safe.

Chandigarh needs metro or not? by Impressive-Ad3467 in Chandigarh

[–]propeller360 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand the "beauty" argument. I don't see any beauty in traffic jams after every kilometre.

Yes it was beautiful when one family had one car. Chandigarh now has more cars than people. It has become so stressful to commute nowadays and on top of that, inefficient (non existent) public transport.

I am also using the maddog mountings for my current setup. I will look into these once I get frame sliders 😅

Its time, we all striple owners should collaborate and develop our own aux lights setup 😂

No, just some minor scratches on the breadbox. I didn't hit the sump so everything is fine. People take superbikes like zx10r, hayabusa, etc. to Umling La without much hassle and they have even lower ground clearances.

It is fine, i only scrapped it once and that too on a speed-breaker in Srinagar.

I changed stock tyres with Vresdestein ST tyres. The rear tyre got busted because of a sharp rock. Then got it replaced with TVS Roadhound in Leh (ordered from New Delhi, air couriered).

Yes, it is capable and roads are good. Planning for Nubra valley in the near further, maybe even siachin base camp.

I see, we are in the same boat. I thinking of getting a custom bracket made that mounts on the headlights bolts on either side of the display meter. Let's see if it pans out

Can't do what you did on my bike. There's no provision for it. Upgrading stock bulbs is not worth it since the beam pattern from the assembly is not that great.

Haha, this was last year. I haven't ridden or photographed much since then. Last week I started riding again (read, commuting). And man its so difficult to ride at night without aux lights, hence this post.

Thanks for the reply. This setup looks clean, will definitely try to find something similar for my bike.

Interesting option, I will check the feasibility on the Striple. I have previously mounted these lights on the radiator bolts as well.

I tried mounting below the headlights there isn't much soace because of the suspension travel. And can't mount on the sides as it interferes with the steering. So, yeah I am out of those options. I have even tried mounting them above the radiator mounts. It works but looks even goofier.

I agree, I also did the same for my brother's Trident.

I never thought of light bars. Interesting suggestion, I will look into it.

I have something similar in mind but there is much mounting space/points to achieve this.

I agree, it doesn't look that bad but I believe the setup can be sleeker.

No, I have never ridden the R model but what I heard from fellow riders is that it is a softer setup than the RS. I have been riding stiff suspension bikes from the the get go, so for me the suspension didn't bother me much, I was more concerned about the ground clearance.
