      Nice man, I see you also got the graphic kit. Looks wicked. which helmet is that? I love the style. I have a Scorpion Exo - 400 skull bucket-chameleon.

      Do you have any other power parts planned in the pipeline?
      Just because you haven't seen it doesnt mean its impossible...expect the unexpected.

        Wow. 182kmph... Thats scary. Just wondering how many kms has your bike run totally. Also since when did you start pushing it to the limits. I just wanted to get a feel so I know from when I can start riding fast.... My RC390 has 600+ kms on the odo. I would definitely not be going anywhere above 120-130kmph but I tend to push my bike to the limits in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear, cause I like the thrill of 0-100.

              Hey man thanks . I have already got a few Powerparts but need to get it installed. Have bought the racing bubble. Akropovic exhaust , the adjustable clutch and brake leavers and the frame sliders. That's an Icon Alliance helmet equipped with Scala rider.

                      Maxed out once at 216 kph on a sv650.That was a rush! The thought going thru my head was if I crash at this speed its game over lol

                      All the best with the bike. I was just just looking at worse case scenarios of not getting the bike transferred. Looks like you have it all pretty well covered. Safe riding.
                      Hoping to get my RC390 today

                        Bro I ask my Ktm service guys they don't have anything with them. So I got all these from Milan in italy. And I have a friend staying there who keeps coming often so I get it sourced through him. P.S it's cheaper there too.

                                So Guys, here i am again. My baby is about 13 days old now and have 500 on ODO. This weekend, took it for a 250 km spin to my native place. The road was a mix bag of terrain. About 80 percent free highway, 15 percent single road and 5 percent or so in village. Luckily or unluckily it rained before the return journey, and saw the magic of firm road grip and rider confidence for braking at high speeds.
                                Immediately remembered one solo ride on bullet electra when at a speed of 110, the bike seemed to overpower the rider and left me wondering whether it would even stop or not, if need be.
                                However with RC the story was totally different. Had a firm confidence even in wet and slightly higher speed.
                                Was wondering one thing, how do you guys clean up the space between windshield and headlamp. Its very difficult to reach there.
                                I would also appreciate some help on a certain liquid/technique being used to auto fill the first puncture in the tubeless tyres. I heard somewhere that some liquid or something can be placed in them to avoid the first puncture. Any info would be appreciated and excuse me if my query is too lame.
                                GeeGee
