Here's a 1965 example. The chrome work is overdone on the gearbox. The red metallic paint is new:- ![]() | |

| ![]() Yes. Off topic, but here's a pic of the throttle assembly ( handle bar missing though, didn't have it at hand to include it in the picture ) Last edited by gendarmee : 1st December 2008 at 00:53. |

Among all the unique features on this bike, the most I have used is the autoclutch. There have been so many instances where my clutch cable was cut, once I rode 150 km without a clutch cable. This is one reason Ive always kept the autoclutch cam in top order and keep it well adjusted. | |

| ![]() I have driven this (My Dad's) bike till '97 - I used to touch 80kmph mark (Delhi roads had very little traffic then). I still have the bike (not in running condition) Are there any bike restorers in Delhi who can work on this? |

| ![]() Awh Man! Are you sure its yours? ![]() We too have a similar black one (infact exactly same looking) in our garage for years now. It belongs to my dad who had bought it way back in 1973 or 74. My entire growing years's commute used to be on this bike (obviously not riding it, sitting on its tank or at the back). There have been requests from people around asking for it, but we have never given it. Some years ago, my BIL had got it refurbished & was using it after which it again went back into the garage. May be one of these days, I should take it out and see what condition is it in. I am sure a quick carb cleaning & flushing the petrol tank should do the needful to make it run again. BTW, I am fan of its exhaust sound.. duunng dunng dung.. isnt this how it sounds? Even though yezdi comes close, it wont match this bike. We are surely keeping it for ever. May be my grandson/dotty would brag about it on TBHP after a few decades. ![]() |

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Obviously! It's me sitting on my bike. Last week due to the heavy rain this bike was completely submerged in the water in my house. Not even the mirror visible out of the flood. Just yesterday opened up the engine and cleaned up everything. Today in fact it is in my office with me commuting me over 30kms. ;-) |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Actually I dont need to change as mine is 1970 version when bikes started rolling with square foot rest and also the castle nuts were replaced with silencer rubbers since they started leaking. |
