    ^^^ HE HE!!

    I want to know that too Karthik. Looong time ago when i used to ride one of the first model 50s ( Some early 80s model) it would never cross 40kmph, no matter how long the road was. That time around, i would have been under 40kgs. One more thing it did was guzzle and spill lots and lots of fuel.

      The sigma is still in the box, havent set it on the bike yet...

      Before that I want to put on a better(than the stock) exhaust.

      @Sandeep : Suggest me a good place where I can get it painted, kinda to its original flavor.

        Hi guys, I got rid of the old speedo and put on the Sigma.

        Installation as easy as A-B-C. Had to find a decent magnet to replace the magnet that came with the sigma, as I found the distance between the sensor and magnet very less.

        Also got rid of the 3 piece handle bar and bolted on a Fury handle bar.

        Took the bike out to test if the sigma worked. Guess what, it does. Couldnt find a good patch of empty road though.

            The increase in performance is directly proportional to the size of the hole in your pocket :D

                        Another month guys, the humble TVS 50 will undergo a beastly transformation

                        Work in progress as you read this..

                        All I can say is me and one very good soul(read race mechanic) are working on two completly different engine configurations. Hopefully the sigma would read a 115kmph in the road race set up and a socket popping configuration in the enduro config. Will post pics as and when I can.

                          For that, you must supply us all ear plugs. For free of course!!!

                          Now who is that race mechanic?
