    The suspension is too soft and will bottom out even at lower speeds. This is not an issue as long as you are mindful, I am planning on upgrading to a set on progressive springs, if I can find them.

    Again from what I have read on the internet its something to do with the Suspension setup, few say that the front is setup soft compared to the rear unlike interceptor. May be the reason. Just a thought.

Is this true? The last time we had to register a vehicle was long back, so i am not too informed about this.
    Yes, the RTO will not register your vehicle untill they get the tax money. And as soon as they receive it your registration process will be underway. You can check the status of it on their website. The RC will be generated within a week and you'll get the physical copy within a month.

    These ones. The ones from RE are too small, I don't think they'd do much in a crash.

    The bar end mirrors are stupidly expensive. I got a pair from AliExpress, waiting for them to be delivered.
    I have got the RE ones and i regret buying them, 3200 rs for mirrors which doesn't even provide good coverage

    I have seen the Zana ones but if i have to be honest they look big and ugly to me, they don't gel with the rest of the motorcycle. I am looking at the RE sump guard and the smaller engine guard in black other than that the cost of the bar end mirrors seems absurd so i got a pair of CNC bar end mirrors from Murica. I also plan to change the turn indicators to something subtle and LED, and the headlight from a halogen to an LED as i have heard about the combination of AHO and Halogen bulbs draining the battery.

They say the motorcycle is billed at the factory(whatever that means) long back and it has still not come!
