Rear Break Cyld

handel Grip Shields

Tail Lamp that broke while Shipment from Himalayas Trip

Oil Strainer kit.

Blank Keys to make duplicates

Un finished bike with chassis & Swing arm still not painted.

Notice the Rim buffing ?

That is actually Black Paint with Blue pigment Lacquer.

Chromed Screws

This Mirror broke during our Munnar trip return, have re made it & put a chetak bleeding, the bleeding makes it look better than the original mirror !!

Tank Sticker, I messed up the front fork stickers, didint know we have to not only cut the holes but also the are under the clamps that sit on it, so after tightning the handle bar the sticker just tore to pieces & I had to remove that.

Had to remove the parts Again to Base paint the chassis, Dupont paint with bright silver & then 3 coats of Lacquer
Now No rust hat had started forming in the joints.

Covering & Masking other parts before paint

Painting the base with a spray gun that needs a air compresses to be brought home

Finish after base coat

My Brother Shiva a.k.a Sony & My Cousin Raju a.k.a Rajesh, Raju really helped me put it together Thanks A Ton Pal.

Finish after painted

Got the Stickers don before Lackur so they stay in there.

XBHP is Famous Man, they had the logo ready I only had to select it no need to explain & custom make as before Huraaaa..

lacquered Engine

Cheers
Sunil
