Got back from an amazing ride and an experince of a lifetime. Rode through thick jungle which included some of the densest Elephant, Bison, Cheetha and Tiger habitat. Lets keep that for another time though, this is an update to the Phoenix project.
Just before we rode off to Masinagudi, Ooty, Coonoor, decided to have the bike in as good a condition as possible which included nicknacks which although not crucial, were important me to me nonetheless. Got a new battery and now not only is the headlight a lorry killer, the horn is a traffic divider. ;)
As mentioned before, in the absence of a back rest, Muneer bhai had fixed a carrier which came in handy BIG TIME. I've spoken with the guy who sold me Burraqh for the backrest but he says he's just got the plates which is quite good actually, because I haven't been able to procure a backrest even from Gujri. The angle however is available. So a new angle and old plates along with new upholstry and chroming should work wonders.
I'm still riding around with the carrier and need to get it changed soonest. Its a green color and neither matches nor contrasts the silver and black body. The show value however would be greatly enhanced with the black and red paint. So the backrest can wait for now....
