my new bajaj pulsar 180 2009 end model , modified with yamaha r15 fairing!




I am Adil Shaikh, a student of Khalsa College . I have always loved the sound of great exhausts, Its the Yamaha R1 that got me into this love. The fact was that couldn’t afford an R1 for now. But I never let go of the hope that I would own a unique machine someday and guess what, Here I am. I’ve customized my 2009 Pulsar 180 with an R15 fairing to make it look like no other.











I decided that it was about time that I made some drastic changes. I had a concept in mind that my bike should look unique and different. I did not want it to look like an R15 or pulsar 150/200, I simply wanted the new look which combines the best bits of the Pulsar’s with the best bits of the R.










I have to admit that it was not an easy job from day one. I had to spent about 4-6 hours a day for about a week at the workshop while the bike was being transformed to get the results just the way I wanted. The final cost of the whole operation came upto 20,000. My machine has run about 4786 KM till date and I usually travel about 80Km’s a day to and from the college. After the entire modification the mileage has gone low from 45 to 31km/ltr.










I have felt a lot of changes when on the saddle, the most significant one being the increase in weight; I have also felt a decrease in pickup. The people at Castrol bike zone felt that it was
purely psychological. I also managed to achieve a top speed of 121 after the modifications.







I truly love the new look, it just needs a graphic paint job.






this is how it used to look in the beginning but not anymore.!! :)
