Hello Muthu Sir.I saw a Falcon 150 scooter today near my house.This particular scooter looked stock with monograms and matching emblum in the headlight.Can you please give some info on this scooter?

Falcon scooters

You mean this>>>



This scooter Falcon 150, was manufactured by Karnataka scooters ltd.(KSL) at mid '80s under License from Innocenti, its same as our Vijay Super Gp150......Just badge Engineering though ,it din't sustain its grips at the market...hence disappeared, but living at enthusiasts like us
PS: The FALCON scooter posted above belongs to one of my friend Retro Guru or Scoot guru / Coimbatore.

hi muthu sir, i am totally impresses with the collection of bikes you have got in your garage.i am currently in the process of restoring my 1971 JAWA and badly need a JAWA tail lamp. also heard that you do get spare parts for JAWA in coimbatore.. help me out on this

Hello deeprocks!!
You SHOCK me rather then rocking,
You are telling as if 'am a Parts dealer @ Coimbatore!!!
There are plenty of guys @ Coimbatore trading classic & vintage Bike parts.
I restore my bikes only ( take up few resto jobs for friends really understand me),naturally I have to source parts for my machines, at occasions like that,I land up in treasures , if I find any thing interesting ,may pick or pass it our friends, but I can't reveal the contact info of my sources .....as I have burnt my hands plenty of times in this Vintage Bike & parts deal....
If you would have gone through all the pages of this.. you would seen I have 3 machines from Jawa category has the tail light , which you are talking about....I had 6nos as spare.....slowly it reduced to 1 all was given for free( as i got it for through away price) !!!, after that when I went get parts for one of my friend's Jawa....nothing was left
Why don't you get it from " mzb.de", bit expensive though
I feel this " FOR EVER BIKE" worth it .
cheers!!
KMK
ps: See I may pick huge list O.E. JAWA parts "NOS"{ new old stock} this weekend
but not cosmetic parts or electrical s... see at near future I may go for exchange of parts( some other marques), which I need desperately at times....

thanks muthu sir for the info will get hold of one soon

i can remember 1 proverb .............after c ing u r efforts sir.................."OLD IS GOLD"...............noting 2 say after tis...........

Muthu also has a golden heart - once you gain his trust - he is a real pal...

Ever since I lay 'ed my hands on these Classic Bikes at late of 2004, my intention was to go ' in collecting & restoring machines with different technology , then the Marque..( as old in my earlier post in this same thread)

This is the first Bike I have picked it for the Marque & name of the bike model( Though this Ariel Red hunter NH...has better features then other of its British contemplates of that period)
All most all the machines at my garage was picked in bits & pieces, then restored, except few !!
As plenty of machines are-in the Que, waiting for their turn to become " Road worthy" at its stock glory..decided to pick one & RIDE from the previous hand
with help of my friend,..had chance to pick this beauty...
