      Back home with my STWIN with a huge grin yesterday night. I'm from tamilnadu so I can't joining your RAT ride.

        Back to my home town,450kms down south. What a ride, enjoyed riding this long for the first time and it takes six hours with 3 ten minutes stops. It's solid and makes your riding a pleasurable one. Seat is comfort for a long 300kms after that felt uncomfortable a bit. Last 100kms in drizzling and the tyres are grippy enough and I think headlight bulb needs a upgrade.Horns also needs a upgrade. Will check in future.
        Loads and loads of torque which gives you a few downshifts and up shifts while overtaking on highways.
        And lastly in very new and don't know anything in writing a travelogue or some review but my street twin makes me write this with a huge grin in my face and pleasure in my heart.

            Either you have a rear generous rear, or have a high tolerance, but the seat is unbelievably bad after 100km tops. Every street twin owner from the Mumbai RATs can attest to this! I'm getting a gel insert done, as another guy has had very good results with it.

            Totally agree about the horn needing an upgrade. The headlight is fine for the city, but night and early morning highway runs? I agree with you, need an upgrade. You can get the Phillips Xtreme Vision bulbs, which is a really good upgrade.
            Alternately, you can just put on a pair of Denali D2 accessory LED lights.

            Do keep posting your updates!

                May it's because I'm riding this long for the first time and I don't want to loose my tolerance. Can you post some pics of your friends street twin seat modded with gel?Any idea of getting bash plate and engine guard if so please inform me. [emoji106]

                  The seat looks exactly the same with the gel, if I didn't tell you, you wouldn't even know.

                  And yes, I'm getting the Sump Guard (bash plate), Dresser Bars (engine guard), Centre Stand and Grab Rail.
                  Sump guard cause it bottoms out if riding with a pillion on big speed breakers. Dresser bars, because common sense... Centre Stand because we need to lube the chain every 300km, and grab rail because I need something to hold and yank to put in on the main stand. Can't pull the bike up with just the seat.
                  All four accessories are about ₹10,000 each, so it's gonna burn a deep hole, but I guess this is part of what I signed up for...

                            Using regular air. As for the chain, I'm using Motul Chain Clean and Motul Chain Lube.
                            The manual recommends lubing every 300km, so I just lube it once a week or once in two weeks, unless I'm going for a long ride. I clean it once a month though.

                                Not using a paddock. With the way the exhaust is placed, there is anyways very limited place to access the chain to clean it. With a paddock, it becomes even more difficult. Therefore, gonna put the centre stand from Triumph. It is for about ₹12,000.
