A Bajaj Pulsar 220 has been modified by
Chhattisgarh-based The Custom House as a street fighter. The motorcycle has
been given a unique new exhaust and suspension setup to make it stand apart
from other builds.
The modified Bajaj Pulsar 220 gets a girder type
front suspension. This is one of the oldest suspension systems for motorcycles
and involves two upright linkages with the spring between the top and bottom
triple clamps. The exhaust canister is new and the whole system has been
re-directed to be positioned near the front wheel. The rear suspension gets a
monoshock setup.
The Bajaj Pulsar 220 Alpha also gets a new hand
lever gear shifter, which again is an old-school transmission system seen in
early motorcycles. The clutch has been moved to the right foot. Called as a
suicide clutch or rocker clutch, this system was seen in motorcycles of the
yesteryears, especially in the 1940s and the 1950s.
The customiser has also moved the brake operation of
this single-seater Bajaj Pulsar 220 to the right hand. The powerplant has been
tuned and the air filter has been swapped for a K&N sourced unit.
