    how does this RE exhaust look ???
    Hmm..I liked it.. The heat shield would be quite useful in preventing nasty ankle burns to the pillion.. Any idea how much does this cost? And are all the RE dealers stocking these products at the moment? Or is it something that's yet to arrive in the market..?

    • just saw a new showroom of Royal Enfield opened at Hatkesh, Mira Road (East), Thane, Maharashtra. Now we have two showrooms of RE in mira road.
      Replace the words "I have to" with "I choose to" and notice the difference in how you feel.

        right now they ain't present at any dealer store...may be after a month or two they will stock up these...there is no confirmation from RE or their dealers about its availability...but i had a chat regarding these exhausts with a guy on FB he says his dealer has said him that chrome rvm's and these exhausts will be coming to their stores after a month or so...cost no idea dude...

          • First of all RE should change its chassis to a more modern one.
            For that chassis or the frame, a lot of vibrations are created.
            I dont know why they are not changing it.
            The frame is the same from the time RE started almost.

            The new TB also has the same frame ...

                      without the pillion backrest = Acceptable. But without rvm's !!?

                        that I agree.

                          its better to have shorter rvm's than completely removing them...

                          have seen the vehicle closely its not possible to remove the rear seat completely...the foundation of both the seats is based on single frame so if u want to remove it then u have to completely go in for a new frame and driving seat also shud be remade to fit it accordingly...u have to think of shifting electricals also+ that tail light too is fitted to that very same foundation so tail light also shall be refitted by some other way...better to ride with few tweaks than going for an overhaul...

                          • Friends / Moderators

                            Why is XBhp having less / no coverage about the RE 500 TB launch, no official ride report by XBhp. Is it just that companies pay for these kind of promo's, I always was under the impression that XBhp is a neutral body and not affiliated / attached to any brand

                            There are many such launches / products, why is XBhp having this partiality

                            Moderators - Just wanted to know the reason for this, not sure if this will get posted or not.
                            Never Give up on something that you can't go a day without thinking about.

                            Cheers

                              I too was having the same thoughts, as my bro has a TBTS and we are planning to upgrade
