This sounds like an interesting project. Air-filter issues, Cat con removal, upjetting, iridium, free flow; if issues like these can be handled, we are looking at basic stuff, but such basic stuff can come good AFA performance is concerned. And if these get going we can look to further the cause, like modifying chassis to make better handlers... I know I am sounding overambitious but... why not!

First decide, whether you can handle the costs till 12months, If yes go ahead.
(prepare a project report - estimate the costs, also look for possible income sources - never mind if it is small as of now)

Second, always hire the best.

Third, no charity business. (Ghoda ghass se dosthi karega tho kayenga kya??)

A good idea. If u have the moolah,, go for it

As Bandhav said, advertising is the key. And spread the word across.

U should also be ready to ship parts to other states for people who might need them.

Start it off with style and keep the pace.

Great idea and great initiative... I suggest you can make it a service center intially and slowly get into modifications... I would love to be there to offer any kind of helping hand needed..although I dont know anything about repairing bikes... rn egarding advertisement.. we will try and find a way to spread the word.. xBhp itself is a good platform for advertising...

Change & modifications of air filters, Oils, Sparks, Head lamps, Exhausts, etc.
Sales of Items like Riding gear, Helmets, Tires, & other small items which are handy.
Planning to set it up in a month.

Most of us know the difficulties we face with the Service.
So will introduce the general service after some time.

BUT I REQUIRE ALL OF UR SUPPORT.

Even we thought of vanstahlipuram only......but if ur really intrested i can get some skilled mechs to work for us(i'll try atleast)

But this would need lots and lots of planning and moolah........may be we can have a g2g where we can all discuss abt this.

on the whole....thumps up to the idea.

P.s - if at all this happens then i bet that place would become a hangout place for us bikers

Thanks For the Ideas!!
Appreciate that.

I'm not at all into servicing the Bike!!
I'm not into making a moolah here.
I can simply be in my Job & earn much more than a Very Good & Reputed Service Center guy can Earn.

Yes as U say May be some general servicing of High end Bikes which have specific problems.
Like a 220 which has a Fairing prob or a R1 which needs a Oil/air filter replacement.
May be mods like removal of Honeycomb from the Cat converter of a R1.
Addition of a Mono Shock to the 220/200 removing the rear twin shocks, Etc,.

All these are 1 part.
The Accessories which will be on sale will be only things which FOR BIKE ENTHUSIASTS.

It'll definitely be a Bikers Hangout.

ECUs & other high performance MODS are also on the cards.

I'm trying to MOD my bike with minimum changes & get it to the Jun 20/21 Drag.

Some of U already saw the performance of my Bike with minor adjustments - all UNDER WARRANTY.

Also we have many niggling Problems in the Bikes which are not getting rectified by the Service centers.

Please advise me on this.
I'm a mechanical engineer.
Initially I'm planning to do set it for 2 days a week during my weekly offs.
If the response is good I'll start a full fledged work shop which does Modifications, Sells Accessories & handles tricky repairs.
No General repairs or engine repairs.
Modifications include Performance & Cosmetic.

Great initiative..I can then rely on you for my monthly consumables..(Oils) & and my adventure mods..
