Hello All,

This is best thread when looking for info on Electra. But looks like no updates since 2019 here :)

@vamsi2390 : How is your bike doing? Looks like you shifted to Car now :)
 
Its been so long visiting this forum . Good old memories. . Guess all Electra owners who were active in this forum switched to some modern bikes and sold their Electra or scrapped it . My Electra is also taking its last breath. Planning one last trip to Ladakh this June. Going to be 5th Ladakh trip on same Electra

Hello All,

I know this thread is not much active now, but wanted to get some information. I need to change tyres for my Electra and Ceat Grip XL is not available in recommended size for Electra as I checked in Ceat Tyre shops. So any good recommendations from you guys as alternative or if someone is managed to get Ceat Grip XL for Electra?

Try Ralco speed blasters, I have used them in my Classic and they perform really well in terms of grip (wet/dry/offroad). However life is 10-12k km only.
ANother option is MRF Mogrip M, however I dont have any first hand information about it.

Hello Mandar,

Thanks for your reply.

I checked in multiple shops and the only option they are giving is of Ceat Milaze (3.5, 19). No availability from MRF or Ralco. Hence I am considering proceeding with Michelin Sirac Street (3.50, 19, Button pattern for Rear). This one is available in Chinchwad Michelin Shop. As per the online review and a few YT videos, looks to be a decent tyre. Also, I checked this thread and searched backward, there Michelin Sirac Street was in recommended one as well :).

I am personally against Michelin Street. I have used it twice, and its pathitec when it comes to wet grip. Though the tyre life is very long.
Did you looked in the tyre shops in Pune? I dont think there should be any problem is finding MRF or Ceat tyre in Pune.

Hi All,

Finally i found out the ultimate solution to the vibrating rear view mirror issue. The stock rear view mirrors are like some high speed pendulum Got rid of them after like 4 years of owning the Electra. Then i switched to the classic 350 Mirror thinking it would be sturdy. Still no use as the vibrations kept creeping in at even 40 kmph and i could not see anything on the rear view mirror. Then one of my colleague suggested to install the Bajaj Avenger's Mirror sit will not vibrate much and will be comfortable. I was little skeptical about it, but he happily gave his Bike to check it. He also owns an Electra and had Avenger's mirror. I was just blown away by the result. It was rock solid. Zilch vibration...

I immediately installed in on my Electra. To be honest, it kinda improved the look and it looks beefy. Also there is zero vibration at 60 kmph. But if u push it past 70/80 kmph then the vibrations creep in. But i believe 60 kmph is the sweet spot for Electra and i have always enjoyed cruising at this speed. Please find below few pictures i took with the Avenger's Mirror on my bike. It has got a rubber beading between the frame and the mirror which aids in better dampening of the vibrations.

Please Let me know your views n this.
