      I have received back my V15 after cosmetic modifications. I am very pleased with the results. The engine knocking, overheating and engine speed variation problems, that I was facing, have got resolved, after retuning of carburetor.

      We removed and junked the factory fitted headlight and meter assembly. This monolith weighed nearly 2kgs. The handle feels lighter, steering feels more nimble and vibrations while riding have been reduced.

      Here are some photos for your evaluation, opinions and comments...

      Front close up. We have used a Bajaj Avenger Headlight unit and Old Bajaj Pulsar 150 classic's meters..

      Side view close up. We had to make a bracket from scratch to fix the headlight. Meters were fixed by using metal strip extensions.

      [ATTACH=CONFIG]221855[/ATTACH]
      Full Frontal. Number plate was fixed in the base of the headlight unit by simply drilling 2 holes. Love this view.

      [ATTACH=CONFIG]221857[/ATTACH]
      Side profile. We blacked out most of he chromed parts as they were getting corroded in the Mumbai rains.

      [ATTACH=CONFIG]221856[/ATTACH]
      View from the top. I now have a fully functional Tachometer. Fuel gauge needs to be fine tuned. All warning lights working.

      [ATTACH=CONFIG]221858[/ATTACH]

      I loved the experience of creating what you desire. Loving my ride even more. Hope this helps to anyone thinking about similar modifications.

      Enjoy your ride and ride safe....

      Hey Guyz, an update on mileage here.

      I commute daily to work on my machine 45 kms one way. A mileage enthusiast which makes me ride between 45-50 kmph. (Yeah, I got a lot of patience )
      I have tried checking the mileage of my bike after the 3rd servicing last week.
      Petrol is 59.84 here in Goa. I calculated the mileage by Reserve-to-Reserve method as directed by the Bajaj mechanic.
      The readings I got for 100 Rs Petrol evreyday were 115, 115, 103 and 120 kms. (103 when I was getting late to work and I took it to a constant 60 kmph)
      This means that my bike is giving me an average of 70 kmpl approx.

      Anyone else find such statistics or is there any mistake in my mileage calculation???
      hello there!
      your calculations are right (its 67.77) to be exact.
      do you do highways mostly? I do more of a 80 km per day 50-50 trafic and highway roads
      my mileage is about 50kmpl constant. your bike giving 70 that is very impressive...

      I have changed the lights and the handlebar.
      Riding just 2500+ kms with longest ride of 250 km with average speed in highway 70-80 km and max 105 km (till now) I am getting actually unbelievable milage of 570-600 km for reserve to reserve (11.5+ ltr).
      I have tunned the engine myself and for the vibration issue I have changed the Handlebar. Now I feel a very less amount of vibration when I reach 100 km, so I don't pull it after 100-105 kmph. But sometimes while slowing down from 80 to 60-50 vibration hits until speed is like 40, so now sometimes it vibrates between 50-60 only when slowing down, for acceleration there is no vibration.
      I also wanted to have classic round shaped headlights and the speedo+taco meter type instrument box, but the mechanic insisted me to do it after sometime, so I just only change the halogen and fit double angel eye projector and two axillary led projector at led guard
      hi there!
      can i know the lights you used
      specially little one

      Hi Guys,
      I am nearing 7K in 4+ months, 2nd service long done and I am all enjoying my cruise bike.
      Some days back I got Nitrogen in the tyres courtesy of my Bro. Dint feel much of a difference but hope it keeps the tyres cool atleast as my one way to office is 45 Kms.
      I usually ride at a constant 45-50 Kmph and it gives me 58 Kmpl Approx. Riding at 60 Kmph decreases it to 50 Kmpl.
      Eagerly waiting for the 3rd service at 10K to see more improvements.

      Everyone in my family loves my machine. One of the complaint from Dad is that the pillion seat is small & you tend to fall backwards easily.
      Friends, please post your tips & reviews so that we can get a sustained optimum performance.
      hello there !
      its true that pillon seat is small
      but with one adjustment you can solve it
      just and a tube for the pillion back rest... practically it extends the seats and balancing will be easy

      waiting for your reply

        The good thing is you are using Bajaj Accessories itself.
        Yes, these modifications will void warranty.

                  Owners.. Some long term reviews please.
                  This thread is so silent that either the bike is so good that you guys are enjoying most of out of it or it is catastrophically bad and no one wants to admit it.
                  Come on, a long term review with lots of pics please.
                  I would like to thank my legs for supporting me, my arms for being always by my side and my fingers; I could always count on them.

                        My bajaj v15 modification







                        My modification include round headlight , fog light , one extra horn n speedometer . rest all r stock build.

                        After modification handling of the bike has drastically improved.. Especially the balance of bike becoz its headlight was too heavy almost 8-9 kg weight.

                        My bike has clocked 103 kmph max..its 4 month old n 3500 km run..
                        I'm happy with its performance.. Little low at torque of 150 cc bike ..but u can't complain becoz its giving 45 km/l in city traffic very easily n crosses 50 on highway ...mind u my 2nd service is still due..
                        Overall happy with look n performance..

                              From the very beginning I wanted a classic round shape headlight for my Bajaj V.

                              Finally the modification project is competed.

                              Modification Details

                              1. Headlight Clamp of Yamaha Crux
                              2. Headlight Unit of Old RE Thunderbird
                              3. Handlebar of Yamaha RD 350 (Chopped Arm)
                              4. Metal Mirror with short arm
                              5. RE Classic Speedo meter
                              6. RE Thunderbird type indicators
                              7. Pulsar 135 No. Plate holder
                              8. Apache Plastic Chain Guard
                              9. Paint job in Handlebar and Handlebar Clamp
                              10. Split type Seat Modification ( for pillion comfort)
                              11. Custom made pillion back rest from RE Bullet

                              Total cost of accessories around Rs. 6k and mechanic's labour charge Rs. 2K , so total this final mod costs Rs. 8K..
