    Yes its worse as in terms of comfort not handling. A simple rule - The harder the suspension the less comfortable you are.
    I do not want the usual pulsar look thats why got this setup. Looks really good in person. Wanting to make a fibre covering for the light.

    I am using a FZ mono shock.

        By any chance are you planning for the Speed Triple or the Benneli look ? Cause the pic that I shared on your wall has the same thing, Wall-E type head light

          Great mod indeed, i have seen many people discussing about this mono shock on pulsars and backing off due to the handling problems. Yes harder the suspension lesser the comfort and better the handling good luck..

            The suspension is now harder, not back breaking though. It handles much better. I have taked a nice curver at 140 kmph with a 90 kg pillion + 80 kg me on the bike. Have ridden in traffic and highways and isnt that much worse than the stock. The height is raised so more ground clearance.
            please share the cost and modds that were involved to strengthen the chassis. Also, did you change the swing arm as well?

            • Costs differ, Abhay here got the job done more expensively, whereas I got it done on a friends bike for 3k, 500 for the shocks, yes it was used and the fitting charges was for 2.5k, there was a mount/bracket built at the swingarm and the other end was fixed right through the air-filter box, which is swapped with KnN and is directly installed on the carb, Abhay is running on a cosworth filter, I don't think there were any other changes made

                  I'm not planning any look. Just had 2 options, either fit the projector directly and mostly have it stole or fit the whole head lamp. So chose this.

                  Cost already discussed. Mine was quite a bit more but I know it will last long. Sure of it. Also no strengthening needed as the chassis is strong enough.

                  No WIP pics but will click more pics of the mounts and everything once I get time and can find my DSLR.

                    • ^^ I like... Did u see the side indicators of the Tata Nano. I think they will do really well and look really sleek for flush mount indicators.

                        • A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)

                            i had a look at / bought quite a few indicators to try out.

                            the one that seems to work best is the one in the pic i posted
                            and Santro Zip indicators.

                                won't look good. Will get back to you with some photoshop for your bike tomorrow. Also for the apache.

                                cost for paintjob depends. Approx 3k for full body simple paintjob with solid/metallic colours in our city on an average.
                                Ok bro. Can you photoshop a ZMA in white with white alloys.
