    Thanks,

    Yes.. They will give you the same toolkit which is in the bike.. Yes it will be sufficient for minor maintenance, like spark plug cleaning, etc. but I Dont think you will be able to fix a puncture using only that kit. So please bear that in mind.. Normally on a long ride, I would carry a separate screw driver set and a spanner set. Thankfully I haven't needed much of them yet. Hope this sorts you out. And please ride without fear.. Breakdowns are a part of the adventure.. And it makes you think on your feet. You'll see the fun in it after you've had a couple of them..

    Cheers!

        This screen sure looks neat... I'm not sure where one can be sourced, but I might be able to get one made in Mumbai. Let me know if ur interested.

        Also, are you going for this size for functionality or style?

        Seems quite small to be functionally effective in reducing windblast onbyour chest. But I Dont know about windscreens much so I may be wrong.

        Cheers!

            This one is my old rusted set.. Not sure it has all the parts. Please remember, you need a 4mm Allen key to open the toolbox.(horrible design but you have to live with it.

            Hope it helps.

            Cheers!

                OK fellows, who is using alloy wheels here?

                Its almost time for a new set of tyres for me, so I'm considering those alloy wheels again. I have some basic questions here.

                1. How much do they weigh?

                2. Are they proven to be reasonably strong to carry 300+ kilos without cracking under pressure?

                3. How much would a good pair cost?

                4. Will they endure serious touring? Say 3000 - 5000 kms road trips Which I do once a year?

                      Oh you do get crazy windblast if ur riding straight into the wind.. I had such an experienced nice riding from Bijapur to Solapur once. That is the only reason I want to get a windshield.


                      I will ask my contact here if this can be made. How much are you willing to spend for this?

                      Cheers!

                        Well it should be reasonable. Ofcourse not as much as the original triumph one costs or other import options. I knew w guys in Chennai got it fabricated for approx 500-700 rupees[emoji14]

                                Brothers, quick question. In what RPM band do you usually operate your TBTS 350?
