            hi bro,
            Pulsar 135 - Rs.150/-

            Even if u feel its not enough to block the splashes. Then there is an option to extend the mud guard like this -

              just one question, why didnt you use the part circled in the pic below. Was it not fitting there??
              Because i believe it can help reduce the splash even further may be..

                  Tp be honest i use my DRAGON only on weekends and also i dnt go above 40 kmph so splashes are less. so dint feel dat was necessary at al for me. if ur a daily user i think u mite ned dat extra attachment.....

                  Happy Riding...

                        [MENTION=64058]husqvarna[/MENTION] what a strange co-incidence, the image u found on Google is of my bike only. 1st servicing screwed up carb setting.

                          1,an off roader cannot use alloy wheels
                          2,hero impulse has got only steel rims {steel wheels}
                          3,for steel rims ..tube less tyres r not suitable as it has holes in the rims joining with small steel rodes through air passes
                          5,if any one doesnt do off roading ,alloy wheels with tubless tyres is a best option...only for the people who are scared of punctures ....

                          bro... believe me....i thought the same when i saw this pic on google image ....i doubt whether its ur impulse or not.... u know how..........??????????..i felt it before u posted this message ..u know why..???...check this pic carefully...........i could see a mud protector fixed on this impulse....and the same centre stand u made ..... thats why .same like ur bike.....what a co incidence.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wow ..great!!!!!

                            I installed NGK Iridium IX plug. I also wanted to install the Splitfire cable but they had duplicate of it n was trying to sell me MaxSpeed another unknown copy of some cable, tried their web site printed on package - sportlineonline.com, no such web site.

                            The reason I did not install the cable was that they had to cut the original cable halfway from coil then join the performance cable, to me it did not sound right. The reason of getting new cable was low resistant power supply which they claim can be obtained only thru performance cable, if I have to join it to stock cable then I dont think it serves my purpose. That's why I only got the spark plug, hoping to get better performance out of it. I am sure it will respond better than the stock NGK plug as it has shown some minor glitches in performance in past 2 months, i'll use it as a spare though.

                            Paid rs.570 for Iridium IX spark plug, bought it from Asian auto parts, S.V Rd, Kandivali West, Mumbai. He was asking 490 for splitfire & 550 for MaxSpeed cable.

                                I go to Autolink Borivali W, there's this ASC Manager - Jeetu Verma. He is the best person to meet and get the job done, U can tell him that you are my friend (Deep - Black Impulsewala) he will recognize and will pay attention to your bike too as he is a kinda friend of mine. He is also a very customer centric person, u meet him n get the servicing done by mechanic Rajkumar as he is trained on Karizma n Impulse. Im sure you will be satisfied with their work. PM me ur no. if u want to discuss more abt it.

                                Regards!
