Everything from panniers to radiatior grill is custom made?

P.S. if you do ever visit to Ahmedabad, do hit me up man ! ill do the same if i visit Pune ! RIDE SAFE RIDE LONG ! HAPPY MILES!

Should I get the Radiator grill from China registered mail or fedex? The latter being the fastest and reliable. China mail takes 27-40 days costs 3.2k whereas the FedEx one costs 5k delivered in 8-11 days.

Never got anything from Alibaba or Ali express, is it reliable like Amazon? They have given that I can return it. Have to trust it like I did with my bike as Chinese relation 😂😅👌

This is the link i bought it from. With fedex shipping it was 68$ ( 4500 approx)

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Radiator-grille-Water-tank-radiator-cover-protector-for-Benelli-BN302-TORNADO-TNT300-STELS-300-Keeway-RKX/32319277808.html?spm=2114.13010608.0.0.634doL

When it landed , Fedex called me for KYC documents ( passport,Adhar/election card, Address proof). . submitted that and i had to pay 600 rs duty.

So total cost was 5100 Rupees. oh and it arrived in 4 days.

Plus the fit and finish is simply EXCELLENT ! !

For fitting you have to unscrew one of the fairings, slide in the guard, tighten it back up. took me 15 minutes

Thanks, opted for Ali express standard shipping, it cost me around 3500/- with shipping. Hope it comes on time as delivery takes around 18-27 days!

About the fitting, what part you have to remove to slide it in? The fairing with the TNT Decal. That one? And there are 2 holes below it. Are they for screws?

Send a message to seller to mark it as gift. Helps in custom clearance.

Based on road tests, the bike has lot of problems. Mutual friend is a test rider for the test mule here in Pune. In January they will decide.

This is what the seller has to say :-

"Buywin Part: its not allowed now , China customer will hold the package if show as gift.

for your order ,we show 10 usd."

So have to pay custom duty charges of 600-700 bucks.

If you still have a choice, i'd suggest get fedex shipping. . . its a piece of mind.

Also, I'll post photo today evening and point out what exactly you need to un screw

Ordered the visor online (Amazon UK) and got it delivered to UK. Hand carried to India.

Yes, Panniers and Grill is Custom Made. Even the aux lights are fixed on custom made mounts. I am planning n upgrade for the mounts soon.

The projecting lamps are LED Aux Lamps i got off AliExpress. 40W each with a 6000K Lumens rating.

I have ordered multiple stuff from AliExpress. Their service is good and the sellers are serious about their feedback. Hence they do not monkey around. Better than eBay India anyday.

They will not mark it as gift. But will quote a lower amount. As long as the amount is less than 20/30 USD no extra charges are cut. I am yet to get charged for anything yet.

They do mark it as gift or sample on custom declaration. As long as product value is low they generally don't hold items at customs office but if it's above 30$ they can. I have experienced it twice.

So in this case they might, mine is 50$.

Does LED aux lamps void warranty? as we are putting on extra electrical items on the bike.
Mine was like 50 USD so will have to pay custom charges here i guess.

It depends totally on how you wire it. The trick is to wire without any cutting of existing cables. As long as that isn't done it would be fine.
I can help with a basic circuit if you plan to get it done.

I did get the radiator guard frm AliExpress.. Got it shipped via china post.. Didn't have to pay any duty.. And arrived in around a month... I have ordered a few things frm Alixpress.. And have noticed if u order via china post the chances of paying customs duty is less... 👍..

Chose the alixpress standard shipping with a charge of around 10 USD(China post was 9.5USD) . Hope they don't charge customs duty.

Sure thing mate, still have to get the bike! Still a week to go. Before that have done my homework already because of XBHP :P (Special thanks to the people who started and run this forum)

Body coat, sliders, tank pad sorted.
Got jackets and gloves from Benelli and they are awesome, totally worth the cost. Windshield and aux lamps will fit later. So I am all set for the Benelli experience soon !

Can't wait.....

Thank you all for your valuable inputs 👍
