    The chin area doesn't look strong and might break or collapse in case of an impact, i would suggest a full face helmet. Correct me if I'm wrong

    The accessories from Trip Machine are a bit expensive but I have heard good things about their products, they use proper leather so that may be the reason for it's prices.

    Has anyone tried accessories offered by trip machine?

    What all accessories in your opinion are necessary? Which actually are of some use.

    Cheers!!

    Yes, they could be loud but as far as mods goes I would be using a short exhaust. So looking for one, also may be they are available with baffles if they are customized.
    I have not seen the bike in person, so really do not know where this catalytic converter is.
    Could you share a picture, as far as I know slip on's should not be a problem as the converter is installed on the bend pipe. I would only be replacing the slip On's and not the bend pipe.

    Here are some pics from the lock-down blues .[ATTACH]254425[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254424[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254423[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254422[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254426[/ATTACH]

    My GT's Tank developed white patches and yellow stains on the stripes. Got it replaced under warranty
    [ATTACH]254427[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254428[/ATTACH][ATTACH]254429[/ATTACH]

    My rotor is developing rust. I asked about the issue to the RE service rep and was told that the rusting issue will be there if I do not ride the bike.
    attaching the pic of my GT{1200 Kms) and my Ntorq's Rotor {9922 Kms}.
    [ATTACH]254431[/ATTACH]

    The engine cover developed some stains, polished it out.


    Under the lock-down I did not ride the GT but the battery is still working fine. I have completed 1900 Kms till date.
    Hope to cover more miles soon.

    No issues...will stick to X-BHP them.

    What all aftermarket exhausts are available in the market??? Not the cheap once.....but standard once.
    I have seen a branding "Diablo"...not sure if that's the exhaust company or the modification company.
    Those look short and nice with matt black color on them.
    Anyone have some more info on the then please share...

    Cheers!!!
    I have got AEW ones and they are really nice, small in size and very light weight, sound nice too, with baffles you can't even tell if you are using after market exhaust unless you revv.
    They come in many variants, only the finish varies, sound is same, chrome variant costs 9k whereas the stainless steel finish costs 16.5k.
