"Well i am here to write about, The Latest "Unique" addition to the JOEL'ed Bikes around India, that would be my Unicorn Dazzler.
Ya, most of you would be shocked as to why would some1 want to mod a commuter. Well, I can just say "Wait n Watch" !
So, First a List of Mods on my bike: Major as well as Minor
- Big Bore 160cc (Joel)
- Headwork (Inlet Port)
- K&N R1100
- NGK Ix
- Free Flow Exhaust (Aftermarket..not specifically built for Dazzler. Waiting if Joel Decides to make one)
Stock Dazzler, is not a Performance crazy bike..but it sure is a lot of fun to ride. Anyway, the post is about Joel's kit.. so here it goes.
I contacted Joel, and asked what mods could he provide for my bike. He suggested to bring it over to his workshop. As i live in Ahmedabad, that wasn't exactly an option..so asked what he can provide. THe answer was the BB Kit.. Went for it! I was expecting delays, as Joel is a busy guy.. but to my luck & amazement, got the kit within a month of the order.
Got the kit installed.. did a 900km running in, within 5 days.. just went out on cruising trips.. never went above 5k rpm.. when i touched 901.. i let the bike rip once.. ! within the 900kms the smoothness of the bike was literally noticable, but when i let it rip.. the bike's true identity was revealed..
The bike literally wants to be pull over the redline (sadly cant :P)
Took the bike to just 112.. no timings no nothing.. just took it to the speed.. Next day got the bike serviced & took it for a short 30km ride to an Empty Stretch..for the literal testing. Outcomes:
(with a 60kg rider)
0-100: Within 10secs
Top Whack: 131
Time for Top End: Approx 27secs
(with a 94kg Rider)
0-100: Within 12secs
Top Whack: 131
Time for top End: Approx 34secs
The bike is still running on Stock Carbs & Jets.. Planning for a bigger carb rather than Upjetting.. expecting to improve the bike's potential.
This was the ripping test.. so what about reliability?
Last Sunday, had a 410kms Trip.. 210 kms was general riding 60-90kph cruising.. approx 30-50 kms was Off-Roads or dirt trails or desert..and the last 140kms was total ripping..
Cruising, the bike rides like a breeze.. totally free !
Off-Road.. The bike's torque is crazy ass on lower gears..
The last ripping.. the bike was constantly riding at speeds between 95-117 kph with a pillion rider.. a combined weight of 94 + 58 kgs.. for 140 kms.. Yup the engine was damn hot.. but did it die after it was switched off.. Nope. It was still ready for more..
So, My short Opinion on the 160cc Kit.. Worth Every Penny.. Be it City Riding, Touring, Or in general being crazy.. It;s simply awesome

Future plans: Joel's 180cc Kit (Which was unfortunately released 1 month after i got the 160cc kit
)and if Joel gets the time.. the exhaust system
