More information which might help people:

• To make the modifications legal, owners have to get the new modified parts approved by the ARAI (Automotive Research Authority of India) and get an endorsed registration certificate.
• You can get it approved by ARAI and then get it entered on the Registration Certificate.
• Another way is to add features that do not interfere with the structure of the motorcycle.
• For example, you can add auxiliary lamps and a remote locking system but you cannot add a performance sprocket or change the handlebar of the motorcycle.
• Also, you can change colour of the bike by adding a vinyl but repainting the vehicle to a different colour is again illegal and has to be endorsed on the RC by the local RTO.
• As these strict rules restrict the creativity of modifying houses, there should be new rules that help such modifiers in India. Customisation is a big marketplace in many international countries.
