        U can also go for apache 150's swingarm(1260mm) which is lighter,stable and shorter. Costs u around 650/-. If u were in cochin I can give it to u as free of cost as I have one with me.. But it will be 20mm more lenghtier than victor GL(1240mm) and 10mm shorter than fiero f2(1270mm).

            Thanks for the info, but I have decided to go for a complete stock rebuild.

            Thanks, I am getting my gun "delivered " today. Just saw the bike yesterday, and believe me it looks AWESOME. It looks just like a new stock shogun out of showroom. Will post the pics soon.

                Aditya, check out Bohra Automobiles, JC road. You will get all the engine related parts here. For panels and stickers, go to Shankar Automobiles near Shivajinagar bus stand. They even had Shaolin stickers when I last visited them 2 weeks back.

                    Yes, he stocks almost everything that can be sold at a premium! You can also try Zen Motors in Basavangudi.

                          I did go through the previous posts, I was only suggesting Zen since they have contacts from where they source Shogun parts. I am also looking out for a speedo console for the past 2 months with no luck . And I am put up at Chennai, basically an ex-Bangalorean !

                            The speedo console is available at zen last time i checked.They quoted me an inflated price of 3500......Beat that, you get digital consoles cheaper than that!!!I stopped going there after that episode.

                              An inflated price is always expected on parts which are not available within a normal buyers proximity. The shogun speedo assy as far as I remember back in 2003 costed around 2.5k at a TVS showroom. 1k premium is decent considering its almost not available anywhere.
                              Why do you think an RD costs 4 times its original cost 20yrs ago?
                              An RXZ sell for 50-60k in bangalore when the on-road cost was 63k back in 2006. A qualis sells for 6-7L, which is almost the showroom cost and after having been used for atleast one lakh kms.
                              Now thats demand!

                              A digital speedo is available, dime a dozen. Hence cheaper. For the cost of this so called 3.5k shogun speedo assy, u can buy 2 RTR digi speedos, beat that?
