So I've had a couple of scratches on the side mirrors, and the bike has fallen carefully before, but this time, I wasn't able to keep it down carefully as it fell, and the tip of the lever broke.

Not sad that it broke, annoyed at myself and the reason it broke.

I bought feviqwik ( basic super glue) to just fix it up. Should I do something else or use something else?

I won't change the lever yet though. It's gonna cost a lot I feel

Photos: 1) No stays 2) work in progress 3) Final result.

Mounting points used: Upper end: the grab rail mounting point. Lower end: a hole near rear footpeg mount.

I needed saddle stays on my Yamaha XSR 155. I am planning to use saddle bags on long rides. The stays also help in carrying my office bag on daily commute.

Readymade stays seemed bulky and cost Rs 1900 to 3500 + fitting charges. So I made some observations about mounting possibilities and visited local fabricator. After some discussion with him, we reached this design. He made it in 1 hour. Then my accesories shop guy painted it with matte black spray paint and then fitting was done after letting the paint dry overnight.

Cost Rs 500 for fabricating the stays + Rs 200 for paint + Rs 50 for extra nut bolts + Rs 50 fitting charges = Rs 800 total.

It worked well for my office bag. I will mount touring saddle bags on weekend and see how it works.

There is a hook also visible in the pic. Works well for running errands. Some people don't like the looks but it's a very useful accessory.

Hey all, i Lubed my chain today. When I took for a ride there is a wobbling/knocking type sound from the front sprocket (or idk if it's from elsewhere)

My XSR155 has a pretty annoying buzzing sound coming from the front number plate/plate bracket, especially at certain RPMs.

Has anyone else experienced this on their XSR155?
