  • Pulsar 150 modification : Classic --> UG2

    Hello friends,

    This is my 1st thread outside 2 Strokes section.

    After seeing my couple of RX restorations, friend of mine handed over his beloved 2003 Pulsar 150 classic to restore it (as much as possible) and modify the looks to UG2.

    Engine badly needs painting. Mechanical restoration will be given 1st priority.
    All that I need is suggestion on converting to UG2 looks.

    Here is what in my mind
    - Alloys, Head lamp, rear shock absorber & swing arm from UG2
    - Foot pegs moved a little backwards along with gear shift lever & brake pedal (set up from P200)
    - Clip-ons from UG4.5
    Am I missing something here?

      Read somewhere in the forum about using Avenger 180 coils in Pulsar for HL upgrade (60/55W)
      Tried searching again but with least success. Can someone share the link?

        Few queries

        1) Head lamps
        We are still in a dilemma here, whether to use the current Round doom or the latest type (with mask) Current lighting is insufficient sometimes (especially when the road is wet after a down pour) In any case I am thinking of upgrading the bulbs to 12V 60/55W (along with Avenger 180 coils)
        - If we decide o go with round doom, which sealed reflector will fit inside the OE HL housing? (May be the one from Amby or Enfields?)
        - Can the OE switches & harness take the load of additional wattage?
        - Should the RR unit be changed

        2) Swing Arm
        Basic requirement is increased wheelbase. Is there a difference between UG2 Swing arm and other generation / spec (180/200/220) swing arms? If so, which is the best possible solution?

        3) Alloy Wheels
        Was there a difference between UG2 & later generation alloy wheels (especially the worm gear mounting area) Reason for this question is I came across a used alloy wheel set from Pulsar 200 in a decent condition and reasonable quote.

        4) Tires
        Many members here use R15 tire for front wheel. Please suggest which tires are better.

        5) Sprocket
        Was there a difference in sprockets between Classic & UG2? if so, please do list down the available sprockets for Pulsar family.

        6) Foot pegs
        Since we planned to shift the foot pegs a little towards the rear (with P200 set up) what are the other parts that should be changed along with? (other than the gear shift lever, brake pedal and the saree guard) I doubt the Silencer mountings (please confirm).

        7) Clip ons
        Are they (from UG4.5) direct fit on a Classic / UG2 forks assembly? What are the parts that need to be changed? (Top, LH & RH clip-ons, anything else?) Will it require the ignition lock set to be changed?

              Thanks buddy.
              Cost isn't calculated yet (few parts were bought by myself and few by mechanic) Let me put the detailed breakup ASAP.
