    Btw the front end on the Pearl Yamaha is not the hydraulic spring type as seen on most bikes. I'll post a pic if I can to make you understand. Its rather unique.
    Sooperb thanks again for your support bro in will check that out once i am back from my office today then regarding the pearl yamaha customised oil seal I will pm you later id i am not getting this one before this sunday 😀

    U mean the spring type which is there in M80?? The side shocks that swing ?😯

        No. I mean it is a very unique suspension that no other vehicle we know of has come with. The suspension on the pearl Yamaha is a rubber type suspension. Just give me some time to find the pics and I'll post one here then you'll understand. Its really unique.

            There's not much info on google about the bike. Its an India specific model.
            But if you're looking for pics and specs search for Yamaha "Omaha trail" bike.

                  I would like to thank every one in this forum for your great support and suggestion for the oil seal and now the bike is progressing i have some feedback on the oil seal , the local make " Mechanic" one costed me just Rs 20/sealseal but they are the best fit for my fork tube Vs the SKF one.

                  Analysis: SKF is a perfect 28dia ID but the local make has kept some Appx. +0.03mm lip extra this has helped because the rod is already in minus( meaning this has been used for 20+ years and has gone for Hard chrome treatment which would have eaten away some material) so this has reduced the OD from 28 dia to may be appx. 27.95mm so the local oil seal is a perfect fit and SKF ones are very loose and wont help in sealing the oil so have decided to use the local (38x28x7)one 😃 ....and as i also bought a (38x28x10)10 mm width local one when i tried that, it increases the friction and thus not allowing the seal to move freely in the fork tube so this will stiffen the shocks.

                              [MENTION=19320]eminemjohn[/MENTION]. The bike looks fantastic. The paint could have been a bit glossier (or maybe its just the picture quality). I see your missing the Enfield logo on the tank. But overall very well done brother. 👍

                                Hey thanks a lot bro, ya the bike is full of grease , oil stains on it it has to go to final polish to the painter after fitment of all the parts and then will take good quality pics and will try to do before after shots 😀

                                Ya the stickers dispatched has been missing i am tracking with the courier guys they are saying its been delivered wrongly so hopefully will receive it today.
