Hey. Thanks buddy. I will have to take some time to list out the expenses part by part. I have to really sort out the list because of a few freebies, but will have it listed as well.

Why do I feel that the front tyre has treads in reverse direction?

I thought they should be pointing downwards, or it this correct? Somehow, looks different to me.

Kapil jee the bike is looking amazing and i would like to ask what head lamp are you using it some how does not seem to be from RX100

vaasu · 3rd February 2009, 23:51

Hi Kapil,
Did you changed the stock CDI along with 12v electricals as well?

Thanks.

Blue Thunder · 4th February 2009, 00:55

It would be great if you could upload a video with sound : would love to hear the sound of that engine !

pulsarmaniac · 4th February 2009, 01:21

the rx is already a beauty. you have done an exceptional job man! certainly looks just out of the showroom. and the bigger headlamp isnt looking out of the place at all. its quite good. it must be more functional too. am i right?

kapiljolly79 · 4th February 2009, 10:27

Hey guys. Yes, thats not the stock headlight. Its the suzuki samurai headlight. And its a bolt on fit. Its got better asthetics than the smaller yamaha dome. And a better light focus too.

@vaasu, yes, we've moved to a newer cdi to support the 12V circuitry.

I shall also try and upload a video in a day or so. Will be sending the bike today for transfer of registration and test of fitness. So shall be punching the number plates out today. Yes, I have my own plate punching machines too but thats a different story. See you guys soon.

Sankar · 4th February 2009, 13:56

Looks fresh out of the showroom!

Jaggu · 4th February 2009, 15:09

Perfect! Has come out really well, and just looks like from the production line! You need to get a black powder coated straight bar crash rod to complete the looks

kapiljolly79 · 4th February 2009, 15:16

Jaggu Bhai, I'm considering the inverted butterfly one. I've lilked that one more and had the same one earlier. Desideep is helping me source the heavy guage one that came on these as standard accesory from dealerships. The single crash rods came in much later and were aftermarket fitments.
