Honestly the Sliders in the back look more like foot pegs .... the length will certainly reduce its maneuverability in tight city traffic , I would recon the conventional short rounder sliders/spools

Do not get confused with paddock spools with frame sliders (crash guard). That much length will never save the fairing/handle in case of crash.

The bikes running fine .... DSK Benelli sliders are here. Got mine fixed. .... 4k for a set of four.

Thanks for sharing this. In Mumbai still we have those bar like gurards. In case of crash definitely it will save the fairing but it damages the chasiss!
If the back ones are also direct fit for the front then you can keep those as replacement spares.
As usual again Mumbai guys have to chase for this part, no update here. Check if Officil Benelli Merchandise is also available which includes jackets, Bangalore will get it first for sure

I went to the pune store sometime in August for a test drive and they already had the jackets then.

Kawasaki Ninja 650
Kawasaki Ninja 300
Yamaha R3 (was supposed to be launch)
Honda CBR 250 ABS
KTM DUKEs
Kawasaki Z250

Yes, nowhere TNT 300 was in mind until I read about it on some of the internet forums & website late in July 2015. And the three more got inside a list

TNT 600GT
TNT 600i
TNT 300

[ATTACH]192561[/ATTACH]

With the list wide open in front of my eyes, I penned down my requirement & need of usage. List came as below;

Riders comfort & seating posture
Pillion comfort
Fuel tank range
Smooth engine
Stable & steady at high speed
Good brakes with ABS
Should do 80-120 kp/h without much stress on engine
Decent pick up & good amount of power
Good looking but not funky or trance
Tourer as well commuter
Should give premium feel & eye catching design

Now, coming to why I dropped certain bikes;

That sums up my decision making process.. Sweet & Simple...

More to follow soon...

Congrats and more pics...plz

Re: Benelli TNT 300 Ownership Experience

Even i opted for the sliders from Benelli when i went for my first service. I don't feel i will ever be tilting my bike to such an extent that it will scrape the road and neither it's so extended that it might hit someone. The only concern i forsee is that it was fixed with a M8 bolt and in a event of bike falling over it, i fear that the sliders will break off from the root itself.

I also got one sliders imported and it has a different construction. Its base is made of aluminium and the extreme out edge has a plastic like cap which in the event of fall will self damage and prevent any damage to the bike. This part can be replaced without replacing the entire sliders. Also since the base is of aluminuim, its will have the strength to withstand the impact of the fall.

Sharing few pics of the service center newly opened in Pune. This is a service center cum training center for Benelli.
