Topic Approved.

[MENTION=92861]titiksh.kuvera[/MENTION] In future, please put only one topic, and wait until its approved by a moderator... And please put your queries pointwise...

Please note that modifying your motorcycle can affect its performance or reliability in general. Nobody else can be held responsible if you don't modify with intelligence and quality parts.
There're some modifications possible, but each has its plus and minus points.

I'll suggest you pointwise:-

1. The part you're referring to (in the picture) is "Swingarm", and your photo focuses on the chain-adjustment portion of the swingarm.
Better than modifying anything, you can get another swingarm fitted, from another bike. Try keeping it the same double shockers, not monoshock. Try swingarms from Pulsar 220, Karizma, Duke 200, etc... The front portion of the swingarm should fit first for sure.
Also, as your rear wheel moves out, you will take turns longer than before, but you will gain highway/general stability like some big bikes... And you will also need a new chain sprocket kit, from an another bike due to the extended length.

2. Iridium spark plug has very negligible difference to performance and mileage of the bike. Looks/ sound wise it doesn't affect the bike.

3. Try clip ons from other bikes to increase handlebar height, the rest should be easy if it fits.

4. The clutch/ brake lever you showed can give you the advantage of adjustability. It can be adjusted. KTM Duke 390's new model comes with them. You can try fitting them.

5. Again, KTM's key chain is also a good one. Try fitting its chain and lock, by asking the mechanics. Benelli's one, you can give it a try.

6. You must choose only tyres of "17" inches type. All of them will fit on the wheel. BUT, you should check if they don't scrape any other part of the bike, like mudguards, swingarm, front fender, etc... If you increase the tyre size, please note your performance might go down a little.
TVS are known for their bad grip, try using MRF tyres of the same size. MRF has softer rubber, so it will stick & grip well.

7. Performance? Well, there are many mods, but they require a talented and experienced mechanic. First you'll have to find that in your city. I'm from Ajmer, so I have no idea about Udaipur.

8. LED indicators are mostly waterproof if they're from a good brand. But, you must check if the output from your indicator cables is AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current). Remember, DC is what you must have to use LED indicators. If your bike's indicator output is AC, convert it to DC by using a simple AC-DC converter, the circuit of which is freely available on the internet.
LED's are +- sensitive. You can't interchange the -+ poles otherwise it will blow up..
AC always interchanges +- poles about 50 times per second so it will blow the LED.

If you have more questions, please post them, but I request you, avoid making multiple posts. Take a little time to understand how other people post at Xbhp... and of course, Welcome to Xbhp,
