Mr,Sundar,I strongly advise you to go for a Genuine Roadking as it will bring the Originality of the bike,Which is better than buying a D or C and Modding it to look like the Roadking.Thank you

CDI Roadkings do give better kmpl than points ignition ones, but that is like saying cancer is better than AIDS.

If you need more kmpl on a Roadking, take off the original Jikov carb fitted on it and replace it with a Pacco carb and set the slide needle on the second notch. Well tuned Roadkings fitted with Pacco carbs on this setting, if ridden carefully give around 32-35 kmpl.

The Roadking feels liberated on the Jikov. If I were worried about kmpl, I'd buy a Bajaj Platina.

Looks like just out the showroom. Great work dude! Is this a daily runner? How do you feel using this regularly on road?

Ananth, Your Bike looks great, appreciate your attempt to keep originality. Your post is the inspiration for starting my bike restoration.
I have few queries as i am also restoring my D 250 classic
1. Gold color line in mud guard, petrol tank and headlight, that line is glorifying the beauty. Is that line is painted? or radium?
2. What about labor/fitting charge? How much it costs while restoring.
Thanks in advance.
