          I got it from JoyRide
          Price: Inr. 550/-
          Features:
          1. Three years warrantee
          2. Less heat (Claimed to be 10-15c cooler)
          3. Water resistance at stiching
          4. Some patented technology for less heat and anti-fungal


          Verdict:
          This certainly better than ASC seat cover. Also no stiches on top or near thigh. So no chance of water soaking. Man, when it rain in night I use to reach office wet pant .
          Grip is much better than ASC seat cover. However, cover is not perfect fit and I had to get it punched at local shop.
          Price is higher, I feel they should sell is loose at maximum of Inr. 350-400.

          I am looking to put a sticker on head. My Honda logo was ripped off by some kid long back. Also, some scratches. It get whitish after few days of wash. Any suggestions? or online place to get the graphics

          PS: I see lots of discussion on XBlade vs Hornet. Guys please don't do this. These are never ending discussion.
          Seems good seat !!!
          Best buy indeed.

                They usually put waste engine oil on chains for lubrication, using fresh high viscosity oil has the added benefit of better lubrication as it does not contains metal dust from wearing and tearing.

                  Sorry I wrongly wrote as gradual acceleration, actually it is gradual power delivery.. hornet provides gradual power delivery rather than instant power delivery in Low RPMs. That's why some people can't able to deal with it.

                    Yeah most of the ASCs are crap and moneysucking leeches , but there are some good working people and I know the senior mechanic in ASC so I can leave the bike tension free with him .

                    *I agree totally with what you said , anyhow I will say them to use a chain lube instead !! [emoji6][emoji12] They will do [emoji106]

                      Hello friends...recently changed the leg guard with that of x blade and added new dual color lights. Since i changed the leg guard, the lights are not touching the fibre cowl which was the case with original leg guard. The lights cost me approx 1100 along with fitting.

                        Tvs dealers in my area strictly recommends tvs chain spray, for apache they don't pour waste engine oil in chain, honda svc on the other hand doesn't have chain lube of their own [emoji23]
