Home : Bikes in India : Bike Modification India
Bike modification is the latest fad
among the Indian youth. Since most of the college-going
crowd can't afford expensive international bikes they
take recourse to modifications to jazz-up their bikes.
Modification can be done both to the engine as well
as to the body of the bike. While engine modification
can increase the performance and efficiency of the bike,
cosmetic changes seek to lend a snazzier look to the
bikes.
The most common alterations include strapping on an
extra silencer, increasing the size of the rear tyre,
changing the handle bar, using alloy wheels and changing
shock absorbers. Most of the time the entire body kit
is changed while keeping the engine intact. The bodywork
is usually made of Fiberglass-Reinforced-Plastic (FRP).
On the looks department, bright paint jobs and snazzy
stickers add glamour to the vehicle. Duplicate logos
of sports bikes are slapped on to attract attention.
Even the sound of a bike can be tweaked upon. A diffuser
gives the base sound of a Harley Davidson while chambers
lend the effect of dirt bikes and race bikes. An exhaust
would give the effect of a powerful bike. But all this
comes at the cost of precious mileage.
