    Posting some pics of a .40 piston which i recently bought. Although I know it is not a Mahle, I am also not quite sure if its an IPL piston. Looked pretty decent to my eyes, hence got it. Know for the fact that something is better than nothing

    Seniors, would need some advice on the quality of the piston.

    I am looking for a Roadking speedometer with the other box for ignition housing. If anybody could help in this regard would be appreciated.

    Ambika Piston kits are easily available these days for around Rs.780/-

    I want to restore my Dad's 1976 Yezdi which is lying unused for last 15 years. I need a good mechanic in Chennai, who can get the bike back in running condition with as many original parts as possible. The bike is rusted and I dont know if it can be restored. But after reading this thread and Mr.srinikashyap's guidance here, i have some hope it can be done. Thanking you all. Am posting a current pic of the bike.

If i do the same, i think the entire tank look will go.
    I dont want to repaint the tank. I need it to be with old original paint condition. My vehicle color is maroon.
    I need ur suggestion, Is there any way to close the leakage hole in the tank without welding the tank or will i get maroon color tank
    Getting a tank is impossible.
    I have seen many cases where petrol leaks from the rubber pads.
    Temp solutions is : use Mseal, and paste it over the leakage area.

    but you have two options:

    1. Do as your mech says
    2. Remove the entire plate, and get a good tinkerer and do it good.

    In both the cases you need to re-paint the tank.

    Before buying, call and see a lot of bikes. Thats the rule. Well it never happens..

    Roadking

    I dont know whether its correct price or not because it depends on how the bike is really. But judging from the current trend if the bike is in very good condition, i.e. no engine work is required + no paint job needed + chrome finish has been done + gear change is smooth --> 40-45k
    Before buying, call and see a lot of bikes. Thats the rule. Well it never happens...when I decided to go for Roadking I was so excited that I bought the 3rd bike I saw..and the excitement still hasn't subsided Bike is really cool.

    Some one had recommended Moosa so I called him up. I was looking for RoadKing CDI model. 2 were available (94 & 96) .

    I took a test ride of 94 one(the one with red stripe). It seemed to be good. But price tag is 42k for it.
    The other @ 32k
    Is it a good deal @ 42k ? He says that owner is actually the first owner.
    Insurance expired in 2007.

    96'Model @ 32k ( started in 2-3 kicks didnt take test ride tire was punctured)

    94'Model @ 42k (Engine Head Changed)
