    What about the air fly guard? Did u reject it only because of the 'looks' factor? What about its fitting? Does it also stick to the fronts of the shoes?

    Comment


    • i rejected it coz of looks but i think even airfly fitting is also not that comfortable...its not that perfect as on old tbts....it will certainly not come in between while changing gears but neither it will give u that much gap to feel comfortable enough while changing gears...

        • Why are we so excited about vinaymonu25's TB350? Wasn't the new launch a TB500?

          Or was the TB350 also refreshed? I didn't see a projector on the photo he uploaded.
          Advice is a form of nostalgia.
          Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts and recycling it for more than it's worth.

            The thunderbird old model was scraped, and new one has come now.
            Everything is same for both 350 and 500. Except the engine. The rest remains the same.
            One more, the Matt black is only available in the 500 one.
            In the picture due to the reflection, the projector is not visible

                    sunilg, can you convert this thread into an ownership one.
                    There are lot of things in this thread. It will be helpful.

                      Thunderbird ownership thread is already there. no point in starting separate thread I think. As it is RE group is a small one if multiple thread s are there all info will be scattered.
                      Thoughts ?

                      • yes, an ownership thread can be opened, for all " New Thunderbird 350 & 500".

                        though no dire need to close this thread, not all news thread gets closed.

                        the onus is on the first owner to open an ownership thread.

                          Yah bro thunderbird thread is already there.
                          But this is for Thunderbird 500. So I think we should have a different group We can easily convert this one to a ownership thread one.
                          And yah there are a lot of topics here

                          And man RE is not a small group. Sorry

                          Basically RE has got its own group and forum in there own site .... so a lot of people prefer that. I agree with you bro.
                          What man apache does not have one is it

                          • went for the rear disk brake work today got it done...the prob was one of the screws was not fitted completely in which made it rub with the outer frame which holds the whole tyre...they tried fitting it in but couldnt so they had to remove the screw with an l'n key and brush it up with a blade to make it abit smaller...finally they hand-crafted it & made it work normally.....now there is no scraping sound from rear disk checked it with a 90kg pillion on a 5km ride...
