Condition of original switches. Working fine without any issues, but lost the charm.

Then headlamp side panels and....

2019-06-09 17-14-05.jpg


and the headlight. This aids is proper routing.

2019-06-09 17-19-06.jpg


This rubber housing has all the connectors to front end of the bike.

2019-06-09 17-12-09.jpg


Untouched for a long time.

2019-06-09 17-12-19.jpg


Removed switch one by one. We have to take care of throttle cable and chole cable.

As usual, was sitting idle one lazy noon after night shift and was smoking my head on how to improve the headlight throw as it started raining and absolutely blinded in the highway with no streetlights and only highbeamers. Then came to the mind the broken fog lamp lying around from @varunkumar2910 's, which was tested the whole length of India up and down [lol]

There was no clamps, and wiring ripped off.

2019-08-22 15-42-58.jpg


Added wiring and tested, was working perfect.

2019-08-22 15-43-17.jpg


Clamp location was pretty tricky and not workable with flat or perpendicular clamps.

2019-08-22 15-43-24.jpg


Scars from the spill from Himalaya's. Actually snatched from them as my sovereign.

2019-08-22 15-43-29.jpg


Searched my parts bin and found this, an old horn clamp.

2019-08-22 15-44-07.jpg


A pair of 8-mm bolts and washer. No identical stuff in the bin

2019-08-22 15-44-27.jpg


Voila. Perfect. But the angle of mounting wold be stupid.

2019-08-22 15-45-22.jpg


Comes the L-clamp. Added a nut spring, so that no loose nuts.
2019-08-22 15-43-55.jpg


Final setup. Now I can pivot and adjust the angle. Up-down and right-left.

2019-06-29 07-07-23.jpg
2019-08-22 15-46-01.jpg


Now where to mount. Perfectly placed headlamp beam adjustment bolt.

2019-04-08 16-04-15.jpg


Parts hunt. Missing parts from bin.

2019-06-12 15-09-48.jpg


The fog lamp switch. Lucky to find Minda make. For all previous installs got Chinese ones, which faded pretty quickly. Cost was same as Chinese counterpart, only ₹ 100.00.

2019-06-12 15-12-28.jpg

2019-06-12 15-13-45.jpg


Mounted and wired.

2019-06-12 16-54-14.jpg


and the final part, the relay. Had a lot of cube relays lying around. Fog lamps drew may be 2-3 A. So safer to use them.

2019-08-23 13-59-09.jpg
2019-08-23 13-59-19.jpg


Wiring. Drew positive from horn wiring, which came proximal to the front end of the tank, so no headache of drawing from battery again and again, only issue was fuse blow will kill both horn and fogs. Wired such that fog lamp will only work when park lights are ON.

2019-08-23 14-10-04.jpg


Done and working perfect.

That is quite neat DIY. I like the way you installed the Minda switch.
Does it put load on the battery if any?
As far as bike is running, shouldn't be a problem. I think it was 12 or 18 W. Ladakh guys (@varunkumar2910 and his friend) had 2 of these with upgraded headlight bulbs.

Quite an ingenious idea for the mount. Loved it.
Necessity (and lack of vitamin M) is (are) the mother(s) of invention.[lol]

Final looks.

2019-06-22 07-31-54.jpg


Beam pointed to front wheel track, no glare to oncoming traffic.

2019-06-12 16-51-46.jpg


Beam throw at night.

Fog only

2019-06-21 21-58-35.jpg


Low beam only

2019-06-21 21-58-47.jpg


Low plus fog.

2019-06-21 21-58-59.jpg


High beam.

2019-06-21 21-58-53.jpg


High plus fog.

2019-06-21 21-59-03.jpg


100% waterproof.

2019-06-25 21-06-53.jpg


And 100% plug and play. 2-3 minutes for install including beam setting. 1 minute for removal. Intending to use only on nights with rain. Night shifts only one week per month and it hardly rains 25% of the time.

July 2019:

Gear lever replacement. Current lever was giving lot of sideways play and annoying ki-ki noise when shifting. This is the third lever. Last time it was changed when we have a crash with a dog. Both us and dog were unhurt, so was the Barricade. Only lever was bend. Didn't change the bolt then. 10 years on that bolt and was primarily the suspect of the sound and play. Sideways play also caused wear in linkage rods and they were having play in all directions.

Shift Pedal Assembly - 21CE81101000 - ₹ 250.00

2019-07-05 08-47-46.jpg
2019-07-05 08-48-13.jpg
2019-07-05 08-48-27.jpg


Pedal Shaft Bracket - 21CF7261000 - ₹ 120.00
Yes, that's the cost of a bolt.

2019-07-05 08-48-56.jpg
2019-07-05 08-49-08.jpg
2019-07-05 08-49-12.jpg


The lever lost its sheen and powdercoating costs almost the price of the lever itself.

2019-07-05 08-49-37.jpg


Rust formation and gap.

2019-07-05 08-49-51.jpg


Levers side-by-side.

2019-07-05 09-09-14.jpg


Bolts side-by-side.
Teflon tape in old bolt as stopgap till replacing it.

2019-07-05 09-09-31.jpg


Gear shaft. Cleaned thoroughly...

2019-07-05 09-14-19.jpg


...with WD40 and Maruti's WD40/Rust Smash. Lubed the new bolt with TVS chain lube. It's a good lubricant and an okayish chain spray [lol]

2019-07-05 09-16-06.jpg


Installed. It was simple. Remove the pivot bolt with 5 mm Allen bolt. Linkage connects to gear shaft tightened with a 10-mm bolt. Adjust the lever position for best comfort.

2019-07-05 09-24-13.jpg


Result: The klutching-klitching sound of gear shift improved to clich-clich (vague shifts to precise shifts) [evil]. With riding boot, took some getting used to the lever as there was no play and squeezing in the boot in between was a bit difficult. Earlier, the linkage used to rub against gear lever and the side stand extension. That also vanished.

I would suggest Michelin Pilot Street, then Pirelli Angel CT or Sports Demon. Street and Demon lasted 35k km for me with not much damage. Angel is promising. Won't recommend Diablo Rosso for bad condition as it is too soft, mine done some 21k km, may run a thousand more.

Again July 2019: It ain't gettin' over

With current brake lines hitting 5 years and brake fluid more than 2 years old, the itch re-starts for another set of steel-braided hose. Don't want Pulsar 220 hose as it was extremely tight fit with it's short length. Remembered one of my FZ mates buying something from Amazon. A quick hit yielded good result. They were available from 50 cm to 120 cm in length in blue, red, black, silver (colors I can remember) at almost half the price of Pulsar hose. Took some time to decide between black and silver. Chose black over silver as already tried with silver. He specifically told not to buy colored ones as they tend to fade easily (his was red). Opted for 90 cm, Pulsar one was 75-80 cm. Brand was some Shafire, which was just some generic stuff.

Banjo hole size was 10 mm and angle 28 degrees, for 90 mm banjo bolt (Seller specifics, unsure of accuracy).

Cost ₹ 599.00.

2019-07-11 15-42-23.jpg


It had 2 perfect sized grommets that fits in FZ's stock clamp (but only one clamp).

2019-07-11 15-53-10.JPG


Full spec of the hose. Lazy to Google more.

Installation to follow.

PS: The dumbest and eventful phase of ownership begins here [clown]

2019-07-21 15-14-56.jpg


Condition of master cylinder. Rusty as always and screw screwed up by mechanic last time.

2019-07-14 10-51-04.JPG


Pulsar 220 hose. It was a tight fit. Extremely stretched in main stand.

Disassembly:

Remove caliper.

2019-07-14 11-00-19.jpg


and brake pads.

2019-07-14 11-00-58.jpg


Nature warns: This ain't gonna be right.

2019-07-14 11-08-17.jpg


Pump the brakes till the piston pops out. Block the first piston till the second one is completely out.


2019-07-14 11-16-40.jpg
2019-07-14 11-16-50.jpg


Pistons. Still in good shape. Always wear gloves when handling brake fluid.

2019-07-14 11-17-10.jpg
2019-07-14 11-17-12.jpg


Brake fluid will be completely drained by now. Remove the banjo bolt. Note one copper crush washer in either side.

2019-07-14 11-24-29.jpg


The banjo bolt.

2019-07-14 11-26-47.jpg


Without caliper. Remove the headlight assembly for proper access (than crippled with all them on).

2019-07-14 11-40-26.jpg


Use a bigger tipper screwdriver to remove any only stuck rusty screws. A couple of gentle taps with hammer would ease them off. Mine wasn't stuck, so. Remove the banjo bolt after confirming the reservoir is empty. Still it would dribble.

2019-07-14 11-40-45.jpg


Empty reservoir.

2019-07-14 11-40-35.jpg


Old Pulsar 220 hose. Rusty and crumpled at places, but still strong and not bulged or leaked. New hose with same specs,

2019-07-14 11-46-16.jpg


The master cylinder. Clean it well.
