  • My Modified Victor GL 110

    Hey guys, Pranav here from Coimbatore. My first thread here on xBhp.

    Its going to be about my TVS Victor GL modified to be a mini sports tourer.

    Its got a more aggressive riding position thanks to the FZ handlebar and Apache footpegs. Done sprocketing for taller ratios, now cruises at 80 kmph around 5.5k rpm. Longer swingarm, Gabriel Gas Shocks. MAG Alloy wheels, Front and Rear disc brakes. An oil cooler using R15 radiator.
    Need all your help to improve the performance aspects of the bike.

    I will share the pics below.

    Everything from the rear of the RTR 180 is a direct fit to the Victor's chassis. Mounting the footrests do need some welding and cutting done to the side doors.

    New parts needed : RTR 180 Rear wheel & piston-caliper assy, Victor Edge/Fiero sprocket hub & half axle, Victor Edge sprocket set, RTR Shock Absorbers, RTR180 old Footrest brackets, Gearshift lever assy and Brake lever assy, RTR180 Swingarm,centre axle &rear axle.

    The overall width of the front fork legs and wheel is the same for the RTR and Victor. So thats also a direct fit.

    New parts needed : RTR 180 Front wheel & piston-caliper assy, RTR Forklegs LH&RH, Wheel axle, Brake lever & piston assy, Clutch lever coz the RTR comes with plated levers, Apache150 speedo pinion assy for those who need it.

    Victor T-Stem is compatible with this setup, so no mods there.

    If everything were to be sourced from a used spares market, parts alone would cost around 11k. Or if you could get your hands on an RTR180 thats cheaper than individual parts, that works too.

    Its a work in progress so any/all suggestions are welcome. Please let me know what you guys think.

    PS: [MENTION=23793]mod[/MENTION]s, I kindly request you to move this thread to the general biking section as discussion about the topic is nearly impossible as any new post requires permission from you.

    There is no such thing as a bad motorcycle, it all depends on how you ride it.

      [MENTION=23793]mod[/MENTION]s thank you for the approval.
      However I never meant it as a diy, so if you could kindly move this thread to the general biking thread, i would really appreciate it.

        Wow, this is a one of a kind of setup of TVS Victor

        Never really though that RTR cycle parts are a direct fit. Braking would have been now a next level.

        Also please provide more details on the oil cooler.

          Thank you for taking the time to go through my post.

          Yes the brakes are a huge upgrade. Especially the front, its a god send.

          About the oil cooler, I scavenged an old radiator from an R15 and re-routed the oil supply to the crank and cylinder head through it. So the oil goes through the radiator and cools down a bit before reaching the vital parts. The oil temperature was stable at around 60C while maintaining a speed of 100kmph for 1.5hrs straight.

          So it does work pretty well although I'm not sure how much pressure is lost throughout the extra components.

          I'll be comparing stock vs oil cooled once I get a few things worked out. I'm working on a LED Tachometer using Arduino

          Will let you know how it goes.

              What is the cost to add all the components? Will like a video on this. A fantastic job done.

                Thank you for taking the time to go through this thread and apologies for late reply.
                Costs 8-12k (oilcooler setup not included) depending on where you source your parts from. I got most of the stuff from a used parts market here in Coimbatore.
                However this build changes the steering geometry of the bike and makes it a bit twitchy so you need to balance it out by moving farther back.
                As for the video, the bike is at the shop because of a crash 2 months ago, so that will have to wait a while.
                If you have any other ideas or queries, I'm all ears.
