      To the support staff,

      I think the mods and other support staff needs to take running this forum seriously, its extremely buggy and slow. Zohaib had quoted me and its on page 10, put we cannot open page 10 and it opens page 9, that's the reason I am quoting my own post to check if the bug is fixed. Its our passion that makes us share our threads with others on the forum despite such a buggy firmware, it usually takes multiple tries to upload anything, if things go like this you will loose users, I have been noticing unwanted downtimes have also gone up. I guess its time you look at other hosting providers. The situation can be salvaged, do it before its too late

          No wonder. This thread contains so much information.

            (Ignore the Paint Brush work)

            She's missing the front and rear fenders, and the exhaust.

            The idea is to have

            1. Everything from the bottom end painted black.
            2. Forks with a metallic golden finish.

              You want an honest opinion or you you want me to say wow?

              Its hideous, the look that you have gone for will is very similar to a RZ350 Daytona edition, look great if it looks like the RZ 350 Daytona edition with a Kenny Roberts paintjob IMHO.

                    Superb,

                    How is the rear disk bite without ABS, does it lockup on heavy braking? I am planning to convert my RD to disk brakes, would be awesome if you could let me know your feedback on the rear brakes.

                      I felt the brakes were quite progressive with the larger master cylinders that are currently put on. (Not like the typical pulsar, Duke 200, NS etc). Testing was done using the old Pulser, Duke 200/ NS master cylinders and the Karizma ones. The pulsar and the Duke ones were the worst due to frequent lock-ups. Karizma one was kinda decent. The max speed where braking was testing was around 100 kmph (as the engine is new) and the breaks worked well..did encounter a few lockups but nothing that will scare the day lights out of you.

                      However, if you are ok with an electronic speedo, then I would recommend getting your hands on the Duke ABS unit (RS 37K just for the unit). The downside is mechanical speedo of the RD meters not working :|


                      Hope that helps.

                      Cheers,

                          How did you fit the rear alloy rim? I mean to ask how did you mount the sprocket carrier?

                              Yes. Sprockets in general. I see you are using a different swingarm too.

                                If you want spoke wheels with tubeless tires, My 1st choice would be jugaad. buy the GT wheels and spot weld the spoke joints after fitting the spokes and give it for a chrome plating. Its just my opinion for not spending so much on the wheels.
