Autologue Design has launched the custom-built KTM X-26 and the Yuvraj Special X-12 on KTM Duke 390. The bikes will be up for auction for charity soon and the custom kits will be up for sale from 22nd July 2015. The proceeds would go towards YouWeCan cancer awareness campaigns.
The limited edition KTM kit contains a tank cover, headlight, radiator cover, belly cover, side panels, tail tidy and tyre hugger. It is priced at Rs. 49,390. A rear seat cowl and anodized CNC machined bits are optional. The YouWeCan bike has additional custom parts including Two Brothers full exhaust system, BMC air filter, Race Dynamics ECU upgrade, rear set foot pegs and CNC machined custom oil caps and a custom paint scheme.
The X26 and the X12 kits will be available for the KTM Duke 200 and 390 bikes. These can be extended to bikes other than KTM. Autologue Design plans to make these kits to be available throughout the country and is looking for some potential partners.
Autologue claims that its customisation kits are built by taking the OEM design route e.g. chassis scanning, 3D modeling, CNC machined patterns, woven mat FRP and Standox 3 coat painting. They are bolt-on plug and play kits, requiring no alterations to the original bike frame, no drilling of holes and weigh up to 5 kgs.
Like the paint schemes clap:

Am curious, how they are publicly selling the above? Don't the upgrades render the bike illegal from an ARAI certification perspective?

They would add a "for track use only" disclaimer.
Whether the buyer adheres to that is another matter though!

Will a RTO register a vehicle certified only for track use? I am presuming, they are not auctioning per-registered bikes.

I'm guessing these bikes are already registered. Reason being, their main business is supplying ready-to-fit kits.

I meant like this

The customers have to provide a donor bike and also sign a disclaimer that the performance parts would be used only on the race track.
If you are talking about the ARAI certification part, I don't know if a ECU remap and an exhaust change really requires a new certification.

Right, that is fine. I was wondering about the particular bikes that are being auctioned off.
Regarding legality, if the we follow the letter of the law, then even removing a sari guard from the bike makes it road illegal :Frustrati
Guys what do you make of the Tail tidy for Dukes - Autologue seems to be selling them at 4500, much lesser than others.

It's a bit stubby and all that which is fine, but where on earth will the number plate be mounted im wondering. I really want to lose the humongous tail the bike comes with, rather ungainly and it doesn't really grow on you does it ?
