Atul !!! Gr8Man Lets see another one of your Cool Creations. Keep it coming

Cheers!!!

Thanks for the good vibes fellas

Received the funds today. Grabbed a big backpack and hit the market. I have a friendly distributor so getting the parts was a cakewalk so far.Here's a list of what I got

1. Brand New Bore
2. Brand New Crank
3. TVS- Suzuki OEM oil seal kit
4. All the bearings from the SKF manual
5. An OEM stickering Kit
6. Lumax front headlight unit and tail light
7. Both the side panels
8. OEM gear shaft and shifter
9. Suzuki Clutch plates and pressure plates [ The TVS OEM are a no no]
10. Brand new Chain sprocket kit
11. Clutch Rebuild kit
12. Cone-set bearings
13. Headlight ears
14. Swingarm bushes







Parts yet to be found

1. Gear Cog 3rd gear
2. Front fairing [ Swingarm Im hoping you can help me here]
3. Need to figure out rear suspension
4. A good tyre [rear]
5. A good frontend replacement [ disc brake]
6. Rear suspension

The chassis and other cycle bits have already been sent for stripping and painting..A good bake paint job and some good quality paint is also in the pipelines as looks is also a priority here..This bike should be up and running very soon and then I can get to a bit of performance tuning on it

@ swingarm - thanks for the wishes. I'll need your help in finding a front fairing. and oh yea..pradeep has always been very positive with me right from the beginning..I really appreciate that about him

@ pradeep - the banshee reed cage is about 12 mm wider than the stock shogun cage. The stock Intake flange on the shogun has walls of 18mm each thick..I think 6mm each side should not be a problem..The petals of the banshee cage are 22mm wide compared to the 16mm stock cage..It results in over a 50% increase in flow area plus the banshee fiber reed valve system is a way more evolved and efficient reed valve system [ You are using the same on your RX so you'd definitely know the difference]

Besides the shogun exhaust looks anything but small to me..An upgraded intake would be awesome, if not an overkill..Mind you this bike is gonna be a running a 28mm flatslide

@ jayprashanth - thanks man..REP..yea..well working on it..hope it all goes well ..fingers crossed

@ nihkil - finding spares was easy so far man..I thinks its the cosmetics that took the effort..bearings, oil seals and engine parts were easy for the shogun..I guess it should be difficult for the shaolin..My distributor had a full shaolin stickering kit and 2 oversize pistons for the shaolin in stock too..We decided to keep them for future rebuilds

@ yamdoot - thanks nitesh bhai..yea i dumped the pulsar headlight the first thing..this thing is gonna be restored as far as the looks go...The paint..well you'll see I have a small plan

@ shivanshu and serpentkillers - thanks for the wishes..I'll keep you all updated

ps: insaneroller has no clue about this as he's in hongkong at the moment..I got an sms from the bugger he cant wait to see the bike
Is he in for the shock of his life or what

Tomorrow need to go setup the engine..rebuild clutch components and start assembly..and of course decide up on the paint once and for all
will update very soon...

Cheers

Atul

ah the way pradeep is into his bike im sure he can handle a shogun project easily to be honest..the guy is too damn anal about each and every thing on the bike..its all a matter of interest man..At this rate he'll be there soon

nice quote man...i appreciate you hold people in such high regard

@Pradeep : Tamilians and Tamil galore on xBhp !
@Atul : Don't keep us in the dark a minute longer than its necessary man. Eagerly awaiting pics
Btw.. The exisitng tank in good enough condition to go on the bike..?

Atul - great project and thanks for reviving this awesome ringading.

Rongom is in for a shock when he rides the bike the way it was meant to be. Are you going to put some Motorhead pipes on it?

Atul are these OEM ovesizes for the Shaolin? I believe TVS never released oversizes for the Shaolin piston!

I can smell something quite amazing and extraordinary...with your "I have something in my mind" statement... cant wait to see it brother and thanx for acknowledgment... I am eagerly and patiently waiting for the final outcome......keep it up brother...

hey atul how difficult is it to find the stock shaolin stickers??

i currently have a black bike with orange stickering.. wantd to repaint it either the original colour or the blue which came only on the last model.. if you have the sticker could you scan them or upload pictures please?


thanks aditya

Neat stuff mate. I can see another famous 2-stroke tuner in making

Yeah but please be reasonable with your pricing, unlike some others I have been to.

please do not pick names on the forum man..its not in good taste..please edit your post or delete it. I know tony well and I believe he charges for what he does..No questions asked..Lets try and keep mutual respect on Xbhp..It goes a long way

@ joel - stop pulling my leg man..lol

Everyones got their own opinion dude. I have a friend that swears by him for his Karizma yet he too agrees with what I said earlier. He warned me about it when recommending him. Its human nature to be biased towards someone we know very well.

All said, he's a very nice guy and takes the time to explain everything in detail. I remember having a 1 hour conversation with him. Especially for me, its very important to be dealing with someone who speaks English. It just makes me more comfy about the whole thing.

@ atul - i think tvs guys didnt release oversize pistons for shaolin, only std is avilable. few technicians use Toppro piston from yamaha vr 150(thailand). U shud be having experience . Can u explain in detail about using these oversizes.
@ atul - can u specify details about suzuki clutch plates u bought. These days SGP clutch plates are not available. Suzuki means from Zeus or something else ?

atul - which carburator upgrade is good for shogun and shaolin ?
Is it RX135 4 speed or RXZ 5 speed.
