| ![]() Very meticulously done Ravi. However, I have a question, may be a silly one at that. Did you consider going in for a power-bank instead of the charger? A 10000 mah power-bank would have a lot of juice in it to chage the phone, the navigator and the camera. It also avoids any possible trouble with the electrics (a pain point with REML bikes) later on. |

Have been using the same setup on my RE TB500 for close to 9 months now. There have not been any instances where the electricals have gone Kaput (Touch Wood). Probably if the accessory is a faulty by build then I suspect it might play around with the electricals. Have seen motorcycles with Halogen Extras being fitted on RE and the response has been positive so far. Planning to put LEDs to see how well they go with my TB 500. | |

| ![]() @j Ravi sir, I was in dilemma between Bullet 500 and TB500. Inspired by your motorcycling diaries bokked a TB500. With Adyar brand store. I am planning to make payment by this week or next. Need your suggestions on the below please. 1) Should I pay full amount or partila before PDI? I do not want them to go for RTO before i check the bike. I am in doubt, if i make full payment i will not be in a position for that. 2) Could you please share the PDI checklist? Thanks very much in advance. Kanth |

| ![]() I ordered Via Terra Seaty for my bird on 9 March 2015 morning. I got it the next day evening well-packed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() My wife sat on the empty Seaty and certified that she was comfortable and did not feel any difference with or without Seaty. ![]() |

| ![]() In Classic 350/500, the rear seat is fixed with fasteners. Removing the rear seat is a cumbersome process. But in Thunderbird 350/500, by pulling a wire, the rear seat could be easily removed! Secondly, the holding straps of Seaty sit in-between the base-plate and the rubber shoes of the rear seat. In Classic 350/500, there is no such arrangement. So, Seaty is not recommended for Classic 350/500. |

| ![]() Via Terra has clearly mentioned that Seaty models are available for TB UCE, DUKE 200/390/R15V2/APACHE/ P200NS/NINJA650R. Nothing has been mentioned about Classic 350/500. |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Ahh neat stuff Sir, have been using this for almost 15 months and it has done very good service for me. If you are careful with your packing then you can easily carry 3 days of clothes with a floater ![]() Best part is you will not lose the rear seat as pillions will not feel a bit. On the con side, please ensure you use it with a waterproof cover as the seaty is not exactly waterproof. Cheers... |

| ![]() I took Blue Bird for a long ride to Gandikota and Belum Caves in Andhra Pradesh on 17/18th March 2015. For the first time, I wore the knee protectors and riding jeans - apart from my Cramster riding jacket - and also used MapMyIndia navigator for the entire ride including night, thanks to the 12V charger of my Blue Bird. ![]() ![]() There are numerous routes available from Chennai to my destinations. I selected my routes as they comprised good roads mostly. I under-estimated the cold and hot weather prevailing in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh. In fact, I had removed the thermal and water-proof inner layers of my Cramster jacket and wore the mesh jacket only as it is summer now. But, I was shivering for a considerable period due to severe cold and foggy weather upto Nagalapuram during the onward ride and at Chittoor while returning. At Gandikota, I could not trek wearing these riding gears due to scorching sun. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Even after almost two years, Blue Bird managed to turn many heads in five places exactly. My navigator also attracted many people in these places. The owner of the road-side eatery, where I had breakfasted, asked me about the price of Blue Bird and its fuel efficiency. When I was replying to his queries in smattering Telugu, a truck driver, who was also breakfasting, came and asked me as to whether I was getting backache, while riding long distances. I replied to him in the negative. Then, he was interested in the navigator and asked the price details. He informed me that his truck was equipped with power steering and GPS vehicle tracking device. His boss monitors his movement sitting at Vellore. He said he would ask his boss to get a navigator fitted to his truck so that he would drive easily within cities without asking for the route. Then, while I was clicking photos at Gandikota, a school boy came to me and asked about the navigator. I gave a demo to him and he seriously listened to my lecture. Again, when I was waiting for more than half-hour at Muddanur railway level crossing for passing of two goods trains, another truck driver, his cleaner and a pedastrian started discussing with me about Blue Bird and the navigator. Ditto at a cool drink shop at Jammalamadugu and at the eatery where I had my dinner. While returning, I was stopped at Chittoor town at midnight by cops asking for the documents. When I showed them, I was allowed to proceed without my becoming poorer financially. Now that Blue Bird is fully charged, I need not worry about her battery getting discharged for some more time, thanks to this mega ride! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
