    Thanks

    That is music to my ears as well. Would be easier to avail if all Shells stock it.
    Sunday ride sounds fine. But need to get the protectors on by saturday !
    Have an appointment booked on saturday but want to get some work done myself.
    Let see how it pans out !

        No wonder he got so pumped up! Even I'm really inspired and determined now! I'll be turning 20 in a couple of months and I'll start saving on my birthday so that I can get a menacing machine at my 27th birthday!
        Oh and that speedo looks so extraterrestrial!

          Tankpad looks very good. From where did you buy it and at what cost? I read that your bike has Bridgestone tyres- battlax? Mine has dunlop sportmax tyres.

            I'll have to check my bike tyre as well. I thought all Z800's came with Dunlop. [emoji52]

              It is Dunlop ! Slip of brain :P Maybe I should get a bridgestone once these have done their duty.

              The tankpad was bought from ebay.
              After discounts, paytm money and cash back, I paid Rs 7/- ! Yes seven. Not a typo.

                Hey Sourjya, where did you get the paddock stand from and for how much?

                  Congratulations Wishing you many happy miles with the Z. Looks like a lot of Z owners on xbhp, ganging up eh? Loved the write - up, echoed a lot of similar thoughts in me around the same time last year. Might I join you on the Sunday ride? Only if you don't mind the Arrows barking at you throughout the ride

                    I guess paddock stands can be bought at the dealer itself, they charge you 6.5k

                      Might it not have been better if you had gone for a Z specific tank pad, instead of the R one? It's personal choice, agree. Just making a suggestion. Something like this

                        yeah I was contemplating my choices and was trying to get a transparent one but couldn't find one till I stumbled across this one which seemed too well priced even if it lasted 1 day :P so have it for now. Will probably get a Keiti transperant one in some time. Where did you get the one in the 2nd picture ? The key knob part interests me. It is prone to scratching from the key ring.

                        Yeah. Many Many Z these days.
                        Thanks
                        Sure. Would love to chase it. I remember my Arrowed TD days :P
                        But I would be in run in and wouldn't be able to ride at anything more than 4-5K rpms. So you guys might be have to tie yourself down all the while or i will reach a day later

                        Avalabetta is what i am thinking ? @Shreeni0403 @djay99 ?

                            They will loot you at every step. Better avoid them as far as possible and look around. You will find everything at much much lesser price.

                              Thats what I thought too, its too expensive for a paddock stand. One can find cheaper ones on sites like bachoo motors, etc. but, I was looking at other options before investing in one.

                                Small Update :

                                This is on the biggest negative of this machine, the weight !
                                If you are tall enough and of average strength, weight is not an issue at all is what I am thinking now.
                                Moved around the switched off Roadbuster in the garage, quite a bit, with two feet on the ground with no issues at all.
                                Shorter riders might have an issue due to tip toeing.
