    need your honest views guys and pls don bother about the paint as its not decided yet.

    Uhh the tank.... mind considering a SX Endura like tank...

    I forgot the "Vintage Scrambler" part... Have a look at the attched pic.. Maybe you can source one of these kinds.
    Also how about a Chrome tank...

      and wat abt the disc for the front???
      the bike looks great in white,or maybe try silver...
      also r u thinking abt a h.i.d,cause the bike would be a blast at night too when i guess ppl can't see it properly....
      good job,waiting for the performance figures...
      RED BULL did'nt give me WINGS, my BIKE did !!

        P.S.- the rear only looks lifted as its standing on a wooden plank, it will drop an inch or so once off the stand.
        the bike is coming out to be great. the tyres are nice though you can do a small white wall thing on them. the tank shape is gelling well. and the white color is off the hook go for it. do not go for a under seat exaust. and IRC does have 19" tyres.

          I have taken too much pain acquiring the tank to change it, also its almost tinkered to make it a perfect fit, may be the next one i'll go for a yezdi 350's tank.

          yes sir, I have the disc (P180's) forgot to mention it.. sorry. H.I.D.s the last thing on my list, if budget permits then for sure its goin on it.

          I love the dirt bike under-seat exaust, sorry but im fitting it for for sure.. and I have never come across a dirt bike with white walls, maye be the ultra old ones but I dont think so....

          Thanks you guys for your views...... cheers.

              Aah it was just an opinion. Its not that that the tank is looking out of place or something. Once the bike is done. It will look wonderful... And what abt the color - My suggestion go for White....

              PS:

              may be the next one i'll go for a yezdi 350's tank
              another one... You thinking of another one in the same lines.. this time what - Cafe Racer..???

                  That might turn into reality... I mean seriously.. I will be getting a old Rx and modify it to a Off-Roader... But a little later.. I wish you guys make it big.. Cheers...


                  Colour = White (Actually i am a little biased towards white but still, i believe you should go by what you think...)


                  PS: You stay in HYD. I stayed there for a year 2004-05.. near Narayanguda ummm i think kacheguda. Its a nice place, i miss those rides in the necklace road, that long ride to mocha.. sweet memories....

                            A few updates, the roadking's tank was a disappointment as it dint align with the frame, its too time consuming to mend it again so had to scrap it..

                            tried out the HH CD100's tank and it immediately blended in, an added bonus was it fit perfectly with just a few minor mods here and there and was done in like an hour...

                            My original plan was to get the bullet electra's rear mudguard, cut it in half n fit it.. but just for the heck of it tried out the OE mudguard and voila what do u kno it was simply perfect... chk out the pic below n let me kno wat u guys think..
