    Here are the pictures and process.

    Apparatus: scissors, Cutter, Hightensile paper clip, Old Discarded Inner rubber Tube from a LMV, or as it suits you ( Should be slightly thick)

    Pls have a look at the image before reading, Measure and cut a part of the rubber inner Tube, starting from half way of rear mudflap to wards the second part of the mudflap near the Rear Shock, on the extreme ends, fold the rubber on the insides of the exixting mudflaps, secure with a high tensile clips, Put a wire or a strond nylon thread, through the clips to prevent from slipping of someone removing it. Contraption ready fro rains, It save a lot of hassels in cleaning the bike after every ride in the rain.
    OK. Good work bro. It's nice under 20 rupees..!! great
    Bajaj should come up with some thing like this. But not like that ugly hugger or first pulsar 135ls. Some thing more innovative. Stylish..

      Fellow being, time goes by and there will be more better bikes coming up in the industry. If you keep waiting for the best, then you wont get to see it even if your entire life in this world ends. If you are in a need to get a new bike, get the best one currently available, and thats it. Even after the P200 SS, there will be more better bikes announced from Bajaj as well as from others. So why wait?

        Wow, Nice review, I got My RED Baby 2 weeks back after endless wait, its simply amazing , Due to rains on and off taking it out on sunny days only, done 400kms, in runin period, so no experiments for now, Since the time i got it, i have been stopped by curious teenagers on the road, highways just to have a look of the bike, it just looks different, bold and full of muscle. great pickup, great ride, getting used to one down and up pattern, after riding my pulsar150 for 11 years.

        lack of centre stand is a irritant, following up with sai service for the same, still not available, the rear split mudflaps are impractical, even though it gives a sporting character, a single drive in the rain filled up the rear underbody full of mud and grime. Have developed a low cost contraption, will share the pics soon, can be constructed for Rs. 20/- only, yes you heard it right, will keep the same till the rains, saved my rear end from mud and grime, and also protects the painted underbody of tail light end. tank Body and panels are plastics/ FRP , paint is very prone to scratches, suggestion would be to get it waxed and polymer sealed.

        Right now just enjoying my ride, will keep posted, as days go by.
        Racing stand can work in that case i think. Same which the R15 uses.

            Bro.... you've seen that, when Bajaj announced this bike, I thought of March is the maximum for delivery... and rest 3 months vecation I can enjoy with this bike, go for long rides etc......extending dreams...... etc... Even now NS is not here.
            So IMO faired version will be only launch by 2013 march or april..
            Not even spied a bike....

              Absolutely right, even if someone is able to get the faired version by march then he should consider himself lucky.

                i will only wait for the faired version if its spy pics emerge by the time i take delivery of my ns ...otherwise , i will happily go ahead with my ns ..
                why is bajaj taking so much time to make ns available everywhere in india ? are they doubtful about the bike ?

                    Quite right, still some costumers like me will prefer naked version over the faired one for hassle free ride in city and slightly more performance.

                      currently have r15v1 since 2.5 years.. i like razor sharp handling, good suspension for spirited driving, brakes as good as i have been used to on the r15, basically a good sorted out bike..
                      hello mods anyone can share information on this..can this pulsar appeal for an hardcore rider? anyone who knows the TRUE handling capabilities of r15 knows what i am talking about here..waiting..

                        I actually preferred the old hugger to the new non-functional one. Functionality scores more brownie points than looks.

                        • At Last Pulsar is Cornering !!! WoW 149kmph ia really good!!

                          Bajaj is now really wining hearts of critics!!!

                          But only one thought !! Why not a Gem 250cc ?? When we already had P220 in line!!

                          But very Happy with a 1L< priced bike with these all stuffs!!!
                          Superb Written MG!!!

                          • Any exchange options?

                            Guys slightly off topic, but is Bajaj offering any option of exchanging one's existing Bajaj bike for the new 200 NS

                              Because BAL knows that people will not trust him for huge cc and expensive bikes so they followed a safe approach and made very good and affordable product so that the next time when they launch something big like 350 cc, people can't say " its bajaj i can't trust it" ,because 200 ns will be there to prove bajaj's quality.

                              Exchange is always there, go to the showroom and ask them but you will get less than the least possible amount for your bike so its better to sell your bike somewhere else. In my case showroom was giving 30 k for my 2009 avenger but i easily sold it for 50 k.

                                R15 has a more sit in feel than NS. Rest whatever you have mentioned for R15 you will get in NS.

                                Quality & reliability are two different things. Yamaha provides the best quality among all manufacturers, KTM is also there but they have just started. Reliability is same for almost all the manufacturers.
                                The whole purpose of any testing is to thrash the bike in real world to see whether the bike is able to take all the torture and this bike fared very well minus some small irritants which were corrected for production
