Turbo mate any pointer for Rajdoot decails?As mine is also about to go through complete rebuilt and wants original Rajdoot decails.
BTW RD for 10K days are gone as my search for 2RD started and even at remote village they are asking for minimum 25K, one guy who was having RD without cylinders, head and carbs quoted me 20K and 5 K for papers :( .

I'll try and get them for you Ajay...can't promise. Will speak to the guy who did my decals and try to get the font and e-mail it to you. PM me your e-mail address.You can get it done from there. Taping will have to be done by your painter/decal man since the person who did it for me does it purely on the basis of memory.

RDs and their parts are much more expensive in Bangy, yeah. Would rather you try to look for one in Delhi or some remote place in the north if possible. RDs sell for much lesser there.

P.S. We can get indicator stays made here. I can send them across if you need. All you need to do is mount the RX 100 indicators on them and all will be good.

Here's something original...

Any idea guys on how we can resize videos? My 1 min videos have turned out to be as large as 110 Mb...So cant upload them.

you can get video coverter and convert to AVI , the converter has seting to get the size down by reducing the resolution,or upload it to you tube.
the red bike looks good, nice paint job, your bike is the last in the photos right? thats the one that took a year to build, right? it's turned up good, you do all the work or had a mechanic.
It's a beautiful machine..the pic in the post above are to good....

Really nice to see such enthusiasm for the RD. To me, it is the best Indian bike ever made. And the best sounding too! I can only imagine how the neighbourhood reacted to 5 RD's high-revving together

Great pictures.

Woooow!!

They go for that much?!! They arent even officially classics or vintages though!

Uploading a couple of pics of my bike after a good wash and wax session before the ride!

Shreeram · 29th May 2008, 20:32

IronWolf · 29th May 2008, 20:35

15k? was it rideable? if it was thats a Steal of a deal.

@Maverick5490
your bike looks awesome, I like the paint job and the chrome ring on the engine cover, are the rims painted or plated? Why square tail light? if you do not mind me asking. it looks out of place with all the other lights round.
I like the work on the exhaust also.

Sankar · 30th May 2008, 10:39

Maverick, nice bike you got there! Are those LC pipes you have it on your machine? I like the rims too, are those alloy rims or have you just got the stock ones plated? Nice seat too!
