        +1 on Ceat. Not just on wet surfaces but on loose sand too. I know any tire would, but on CEAT be a little more careful.

        Wise choice w.r.t to front tyre size though.

          Pradeep, the painter has been doing an excellent job. He has been painting these for the last 2 weeks and still has not completed the tanks and panels. Not overloaded with work, he does one bike at a time and picks up his tools only when he is in "mood". Once I asked him to hurry up, he asked me to take my materials back. Amen.

          M-45s are not available here. I doubt if I will ever ride this sweetheart in wet conditions!

                    Awesome Bike is looking as if its come out of the showroom. The color is looking great. By why didnt you go for the stock crash guard & indicators

                      Clean job, thumbs up from my side

                      Being the stock freak that I am, those indicators look I fancy it.

                      Happy RXing

                        basu throw away that crash & indicators spoils the whole setup from being a perfect 10

                        Colour choice as usual is brilliant

                        Looks as though you got a Amaron Dry Cell Battery Good Choice

                          Thanks guys.

                          The indicators are thunderbird OEM indicators. I was VERY reluctant to put them, but considering the quality of the Yamaha OEM indicators, I decided to go for the thunderbird ones.

                          Both costs Rs 750/- for 4 pieces. I have the Yamaha OEM lying with me. The diameter is the same. The rubbers are longer, which can be shortened using the shorter rubbers available with Enfield spare spart suppliers. The other advantage is these are much sturdier, chrome is good and white indicators = more visibility in daylight traffic.

                          But yes ofcourse as a stock freak, there is some glitch in my mind as well.

                          The crash guard is a temporary one and will go sooner or later once I get the Yamaha OEM. I am not liking it and it is bit heavy too.

                          And yes that is a dry cell Amaron.
