    Light for TB?

    Hi guys,

    I want to upgrade my TB's light to 12V 55W/60. I have 2 options: Osram NB n Philips Premium. Can someone suggest the most viable options out of these or has anyone tried anything else?

          You can contact the City Head for RE. I know the contact of the Pune Head. So, if you are in Pune I can share that with you. You can also write in to the RE guys.

            Get it checked with the SVC guys quickly. I faced a similar issue n later I realized that the fuel was leaking from the tank. It was monsoon period n it took time to zero in at the issue.

            About the horn, you can tell them the issue. May be a wire lose or battery issue.

                Wind Shield for TB

                Hi all,

                Has anyone got a windshield for TB or any other bull? I'm looking for a windshield to give my Tb a royal look. Can anyone give some pointers to get the work done in Pune??

                Can the Avenger's windshield be fixed on TB?? Has anyone tried this???

                          When initially when R.E. launched the thunderbird it become a flop. All of the customers were complaining about the wear and tear of timing gears. I myself got 2004 model and faced the same problem. i got my timing gears changed 2 times in just 27k km.
                          i asked all the mechanics what is the problem whats wrong.
                          some said the material is not good. some said design is not good.

                          But what reason realy looks convincing is high tension springs. stiffness of head valve springs are very high. I replaced my head valve spring in 2007 after that i didn't faced such problem.
                          Dear amandeep,
                          Read your post regarding timing gear problem & excellent resolution by you.
                          You told that you have replaced head valve springs.
                          With which other spring you had replaced your one? Please specify.
                          it may be big help for all AVL engine owners.

                              Both Thunderbirds (old AVL & new TBTS with UCE engine) are known for no oil leak.
