  • Re: Tubeless Tyre for Classic 350 Possible?

      Yes you can put them without alteration IMO.....whats your stock size ?
      And you can better try 100/80-17.....will give a better fit and enough clearance....MRF ZAPPER S is available in that size..its Tubeless..ask me for any query on that......

        Stock size is 80/100 17'.I've heard Zappers don't come with any warranty. Is it true? And what'd the approx price of Zapper S?

          I dont know the price actually.....2400 maybe......and I always use zappers..and my dealer says they have a year of warranty o.O
          Follow the simple rule.....if you increase width by 20mm....then reduce the profile by 10.....you will get enough clearance....
          100/90-17 will have a difference of 3.4% thats too much
          100/80-17 has 0% difference compared to your stock.
          And zapper s grips like leech even in wet conditions....its the rear on r15 v1
          Cheers

              I edited my post above...do check it....
              And I got difference of 2% when I changed my rear tyre and believe me....even that seemingly little 2% made me to remove my chainguard and redirect hub bracket holders.
              And you can also check Ceat secura....Mrf Mogrip moto-D....

                  You can do whatever you want man....its your bike
                  And mudguard or chainguard. ??
                  If its chainguard then yes but take care of lubricating chain I am not using a chainguard.
                  If its rear mudguard cum plate holder yes you can remove if..but dont cut it...do open and remove....and get bracket small plate holders from p135....or get two metal leafs for plate....hehe I am not using even a rear mudguard

                        And what about Demon eye and angel eyes? They're like Show and no go? Or they're good?

                        • Re: Tyres

                          Just for show......no use in fog if you use a white light with them......but if you can workaround angels eye with stock light then its for good show but still your stock will work at dark night.

                              Yes if you dont use them in foggy conditions.....which are quite common half the year at the place where I live.....as white light dissipates in fog and there is no difference between using the headlamp or not with them in such conditions.
                              Here many bikers are using the headlamp from ktm duke 690 or only the headlamp assembly of pulsar 220 for mods......projector with use
