Guys I have recently booked SB 500, here in Delhi.
Kay's Auto is not even giving crash guard with the bike, and charging 1600 for the same.
Firstly I wants to know if the crash guard comes factory fitted or I need to buy that.
Secondly should I buy the crash guard from dealership or from Karol Bagh.

If I should get it from Karol bhai then please recommend a shop in Karol Bagh along with location if possible.

Regards
Vivek

I have the same one . SB c500 . AFAIK , the factory fits you the crash guard , but for a price . I anyway did not like the glossy black airfly they had . Instead went for an aftermarket matte black one . It costed me 1400 ( Air-fly Heavy version ) . Looks good and serves it's purpose .

Need expert's help here . I came to know from a YouTube reviewer that our Indian C500 is of much less quality than the exported ones . I believed the tyres are different and the export version had an extra lambda o2 sensor in the ECU to access the exhaust . Am I wrong ? This makes me sad . If that is true I feel we too deserve the same quality of the exported ones . Please clarify

Can you post some pics of your bike with the crash guard,

I would get the SB painted by my friend on crash guard , so no issues with the color.

He own a paint booth in Gurgaon.

BTW from where did you got your crash guard.

Does anyone know where would I find Khajanchi in Karol Bagh.

Re: Royal Enfield Classic 500

Black crash guard is looking fine,

But I believe SB crash guard would look awesome on it.

From where did you got it.

2 days back i have done 3rd service for mine C350 , at service centre i saw RRP silencer. Its simply awesome. I have some doubt ,

- I am a off roader kind of person , i think low height will be a problem for me.....wants to know ur suggestion.
- i checked with service guy about performance , he said performance is good for RRP & he also mentioned air filter needs to be changed . May i know is it mandatory to change air filter or the stock one will work out.
- If i changed to RRP , RE person will have any issue with warranty.
- And last RRP will effect efficiency ??

Thanks ...waiting for your reply

There are no issues at all even for an off road driver with RRP. Change in Air filter gives the real feel of the silencer performance suggested is K&N. Warranty issue arises if you change the stock bend pipe however RRP is a custom replacement of Long Bottle hence no issues. Depends as you tend to Accelerate post Installation.

Re: Royal Enfield Classic 500

Hi guys came across a nice article, here's the link

Video review: Royal Enfield's Classic 500 fools people into thinking we've restored it

http://www.gizmag.com/2016-royal-enfield-classic-500-battle-green-review/43717/

When it comes to modern classic motoring, Royal Enfield occupies a pretty unique niche. To drive a brand new car with truly retro styling, you're paying through the nose for something like the Morgan AR Plus 4. On the other hand, you can pick up something like the Classic 500 motorcycle, in this…

Re: Royal Enfield Classic 500

Guys yesterday I went to make the payments for my classic 500 squadron blue and came to see that the display bike had plain rear view mirrors instead of convex, though it was written on the mirrors "objects are nearer than they appear in the mirror".

Is it same with all you people or that particular bike had wrong or faulty part installed.

Re: Royal Enfield Classic 500

Please help me guys having a very bad experience with Kay's Auto Delhi, applied for cancellation of my booking there, the guys at showroom behaved badly with my friend who went to check the cancellation status. They also told that there would me deduction of Rs 1000 from the booking amount, whereas it was not told while booking and it's not mentioned in the receipt too.

Guys please help me by giving mail id of higher RE officials. I'll be thankful for that.

Though I am still getting my RE classic squadron blue from Lamba Enterprises on 12th of July.

Regards
Vivek
