    Super Sprinters... I downloaded the manual given by metalghost, joined it into a single PDF file and made it searcheable . Here's the download link - CBZ Classic Workshop Manual.
    May all have a fully restored CBZ Classic!!


    P.S.: I've used 7-zip to compress the file which can be downloaded from here - 7-zip.

    Thanks for the workshop manual buddy!! I can treat you for a beer if you're in Pune.

One of my friends who replaced original with an aftermarket one is receiving good bright light with it, but I'm still on my backfoot. My mechanic also suggested to try HID but I'm somehow against that concept of milky white light.
    Did not find any clear glass multi reflector headlamp for the classic even in the aftermarket... and the Extreme unit does not fit onto the classic fairing...

    Now with parts..yes, it is next to impossible to fetch original body parts of CBZ and any HH dealer conveniently denies to touch this bike with authority as even he doesn't want to get into unwanted trouble. But there is one shop in Pune which still stores body parts of CBZ, which they claim are originals - Geeta Auto Agencies, Nanapeth. Even HH service center redirected me once to this merchant. Considering the fact that parts are no more available in market easily, Geeta Auto Agencies sell these parts for exorbitant prices I heard. I've never been there, but heard several mechanics also recommending this place. So, if you are interested, you can try this one.
    Now regarding the headlight..even I'm facing same problem, but still not able to find a proper solution for the same. You have to check with other veterans around in here for a permanent solution.
    Thanks man for liking my pics... It took a lot of effort to keep my machine up and running and maintaining her good looks... given Mumbai air just keeps bringing out red patches of rust anywhere the metal is exposed to the air... Now that she has turned a teenager, I do expect some teen behaviour from her Great!... Was in Pune yesterday itself... checked the post a day too late... anyways will go and visit Geeta Auto the next time I am in Pune Lets see what can be fetched...

    Regarding the headlamp issue, I got a local mechanic to mod the wiring... installed a 5Ah battery and connected the headlamp to the battery directly. Also with some mods inside the reftector, got the Avenger 55w/60w halogen headlamp installed... it is now definitely a lot better than the the stock headlamp kit but I need to keep switching off the headlight in stop and go traffic coz it is draining out the battery way too much... on the highway I did not face the draining out problem as the battery though... I am somehow not in favour of HIDs coz I have heard extreme mixed reviews...

    But I didn't go too deeply into those.... However my mechanic did assure me that the original headlight can be replaced with a clear lens one without having to change the visor.....

    What do you think bhai???
