    Can you please share a detailed post regarding all the mods and engine swap?

    I am also planning to either swap Karizma engine or buy a new bike.

    TIA.
    Yes height increase is due to unicorn monoshock.
    The engine swap is not so complicated. The engine fits perfectly . all chassis bolts are direct fit. You just need to make top and back brackets. But wiring is bit confusing. I was lucky that I got guidance from CURSE. His suggestions were very helpful.
    Engine swap has made the bike totally different.

Can't put both feet down so feeling bit difficulty to drive. [ATTACH]243900[/ATTACH]
    Super congrats man for new engine, so seat height increased due to unicorn monoshock? we are eagerly waiting for all details( how much is this increase in height?)

    yep I too agree about the mogrip. Its an excellent tyre and the thread lasts much longer too. Ralco is also a good option though, but the thread dosent last longer.

    ----consecutive posts auto-merged-----

    Finally the Karizma engine is painted and ready for mounting on the impulse chasis. Eagerly waiting for tomorrow to begin the engine swap. Help and suggestions are invited from all of you.Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20180914_181329.jpg Views: 1 Size: 106.1 KB ID: 1961584Click image for larger version Name: IMG_20180914_181329.jpg Views: 1 Size: 106.1 KB ID: 1961584

    What I'm trying to say is, the lengthy part of this below monoshock is variable as my mechanic said. The unicorn shock has short one. To fit it on impulse u have to swap that screw with longer one.Click image for larger version Name: images.jpeg Views: 1 Size: 16.0 KB ID: 1961467

    thanks for the info bro. how can that be done please elaborate. so you mean that the unicorn 's shock is shorter than the stock shock. what parts do I need to make it of equal heights? is it too complicated?
