Everything and I mean everything looks awesome. But the headlight on this bike is not to my taste.

Congrats.

sunilchakola · 25th June 2009, 04:21

Change the Headlamps to stock, rest of the mods are excellent. Nice Drive!!!

BlackPearl · 25th June 2009, 06:13

Awesome piece of craftsmanship. The bike is looking beautiful. However the headlight may be the only sore point on sucha wonderful bike. If you dont mind then can you please share the cost of these mods. Also can these mods be done on RX135?

MileCruncher · 25th June 2009, 07:15

Congrats on a great bike. As already stated by other I also think, it will look better with stock headlamps and indicators. Looking at the brake set-up I would assume that this will have a good top whack. What are we talking here?

spadival · 25th June 2009, 07:39

Excellent setup and paint finish. IMO, would probably look better if the silver coloured headlight surround and the rear mudguard were painted black/red, to match with the rest of the bike's colour scheme.

Also, what's the oil can doing next to the right handlebar? I guess its the best position gravity wise, but not very aesthetic.

I'm an ex-RD owner too. IMO, the FZ headlamp does not belong there. Put a round lamp like the original.

rjstyles69 · 25th June 2009, 08:48

Excellent is an understatement except for those headlamps. Get rid of those headlamps and you have a drool machine at your disposal.

Love the rear disc brake setup. How much did it set you back by ?

Rudra Sen · 25th June 2009, 09:05

Now you have the right braking power. Looks really good except as everybody says..the headlamp.

jkdas · 25th June 2009, 09:17

Looks great. Lucky you.

Q. That rpm meter would do?

ac 427 · 25th June 2009, 10:44

lovely build, lovely colors, the tyres look fab,

2 things just dont fit
- the headlight
- the front mudguard.

be safe.

Nice bike, the FZ forks look deadly, you could try the old pulsar's round headlight or if u want to retain this then I'd suggest u go for a Rd 350 LC type tail piece , and why so much stopping power, can the frame withstand such heavy braking ?? a steel cradle frame with "6-pot" tokico callipers is quite scary sounding to me.

Its not an 'oil can', its the master-cylinder that holds the hydraulic fluid for the brakes..

The most neatly done RD350 I've ever seen. Congrats my friend. The head lamps do not go well at all with the bike. I feel it will be a lot better if you could have the stock headlamps back in place.

That's the dumbest thing I have heard in a long time. The RD was an extremely poorly made bike in stock form, hence it's charm. Brakes made of cheese and highly unstable setup overall. 'Perfect' isn't one of the words anyone would use to describe a stock RD.

Thread starter, it's a fine build you got yourself. Looks are subjective, don't mind the criticism. Cherish it and never get rid of it, you will be hard pressed to find another.
