    [MENTION=74543]krixna[/MENTION] - could I request you to pose a close up pic of your setup ? Just so I could compare...

      Krixna has been using this setup for quite some time now and has reported no bottom outs.
      [MENTION=74543]krixna[/MENTION] - have a query bro. What IF i have a bottom out, do you think getting the monoshock side mudguard cut to half provide any extra movement gap ? I may risk getting the shocks dirty however I could use a monoshock cover in that case ? May i also request you to post a couple of pix of your setup just for comparison...
      You can cut off an inch height from that portion of mudguard which looks like the Opera house in Sydney

        haha Opera House from Sydney ... the NS does go international .. eh :P

        btw Mod Report out -

        I took my lady on a ride today through some bumpy roads and she was grinning at the end of it compared to earlier when she used to be frowning at me all the time post a ride. Even I can feel a definite change in the ride quality of the bike in terms of bumps coming through. If someone at Bajaj is following this thread, highly unlikely though, they could look into incorporating this mod as a factory modification. All in all - highly pleased !!

          Edit: you can actually live in Hosur too
          That sounds fine bro . Planning to change the Insurance's address to Hosur

          P.S: Living even at Hosur border will make a 60Km journey a day for My company and that comes around 3000Rs per month plus 40 Min ride time

          That's why avoiding that bro. May be after I get an increment I can try that.

            If it does bottom out, you can cut off the top part and add something like this ->

              No bhai .. have not found the time to go for CO tuning. I will be going sometime within this week. The devilish side of me tells me not to try to tame this beast now. Its a good thing I did not add another washer else I definitely would not have gone for tuning :P I am so enjoying riding after a long period of lull. I will be getting it done soon though.

              The engine is so smooth now with the eased up throttle too. It just takes off like anything whenever I want to, even from 40 kmps in 5th gear. I am trying my level best not to push the engine for now however I am only human :P :P

                  It's just tack-welded at 3 points. You can grind off the tacking and reuse the nut

                  Edit: Gaurav has used a different nut

                      But for safety purpose we have to weld the nut or it will get loose afterwards , right ?

                          Nuts are welded so that you don't have to put spanners on both sides. If your doubt is correct, even if you weld the nut, the bolt can go loose, right? More so because the shock directly sits on the bolt? Well, it doesn't happen, so relax. If you want to be double sure, use a nut with self-locking fibre inserts, like the wheel axle nuts.

                              That's true if I travel towards KBS bro... For Me, It takes 8 to 12 Min for a 4Km ride from my PG to work except on Fridays.
