[undefineme3]

Thanks Guys..

So getting gears and parts would not be a problem for you guys

Nope, not there, Electronic city aargee. And how far is it from hosur? any ideas?

@Suresh: I wud suggest u get the Avenger's RR Unit and couple it with the Avenger's coil as well. That shud solve the flickering issues. I had the same setup with a 55/60 H/L on my Pulsar Classic. But, be warned - it will burn up ur reflectors faster.

Yes Aparajith, i missed that RR unit part. i had installed some local RR unit since i dint get APE brand RR at that time. not sure which one has avenger got.
True, the reflectors will get the beating in long term usage of 60watts. For this we will have to get those round flood light reflectors, but i will miss my pulsar wolf eyes.

Looking at the length of your write up I thought you had completed the saddle sore or the GQ.Then realized it was just Chennai-Pondy

By the way where are the "dangerous" curves on that road

Baskya boss...aap jaise write up kaisi hogi humse

There are around 4 or 5 curves on ECR which could be dangerous in times.
Just imagine you happen to negotiate a curve at 80-85 kph and the car guys, bus from opp. suddenly come out of line and virtually flick you even if you riding outside the lane, forcing to get off the road. The site should be enough to chill your spine and a few seconds hell of a shock.
Add this to night riding......
I hear people are afraid to drive on ECR in nights.

Wonderful to know that you had a good and safe return Pondy trip.

With regards to the headlights - Avenger coil should do wonders. However, if you feel that your bulb is not adequate, would suggest to give a try for Osram Nightbreaker which comes only with 60/55w. So far, people who have tried did not get disappointed. There is one other option which would involve some juggad work unless you wanted to try. Getting the existing coil winding work for better power, so that you can have 100w bulb on your bike.

Thanks Sriram,
I came across those osrams when i was searching for bulbs. i have heard osrams have lesser life and that's when Philips introduced the xtreme power (80% xtra)-60W which i opted it over osrams for my car. And the osrams costs 1300Rs. for the pair whereas the Philips crystal and Xtreme power costs 700 and 800 respectively.About that juggad, will it be reliable? and 100W option seems yummy

Well, if you want to enjoy 30+ kms of FAST riding, then stay @ Hosur; keep aside about 30-45 mintes. Do let me know if you need any help on Hosur, my in-laws stay over there.

if you have not started - please head to Bangalore. you do not get any gear except some helmets in Chennai. head to Bangalore or order online. just my 2 cents

Welcome to Chennai

to buy riding gear...

Pls go to BLR if your intention is to buy riding gears. Chennai has none; just go back few pages & you'll see the same advices being pouring. I repeat, DO NOT have an intention to buy riding gears from Chennai, as you cannot find one.

heard about a few shops in GP road...is there any other place where I can try..

GP road is good for tools, car audio, spares, accessories, but riding gears...I highly doubt & haven't seen one yet.

I'm looking for a dual visor helmet(vega boolean/cross/anyother)

Pioneer scooters & the next one to it (forgot the name)

dsg maze jacket and dsg gloves...it will be good if the shop has more collections...your suggestions please

DSG??? In Chennai? Have you heard about it? If so, pls let me know the location, I too would like to try & buy
