Few Suggestions:

1. why dont you get black alloys, it would look more deadly.
Initially I wanted to go for alloys but later changed my mind as I wanted to retain a little retro look with the spokes
2. on the side panel why dont you remove the logo and get it written in some grey reflctive shade stickers...????
No man, I personally love badges over stickers. Personal taste
3. and yes u said that the powder coating is due for the silencer so that would take care of it....

4. for front shocker why dont u cover it with the black rubber which comes in other bikes like pulsar and all...it will give an all Black and no Chrome look.
Then the bike will loose its little chunky front look what its having now.
also let us know the performance of the bike brother ...and keep her clean after the second round of paint job she will look killing...

cheers n ride safe

Reply in bold. The performance is kick ass. Top speed, no claims as I dont have a speedgun but it does max out its speedometer which indicates 140. Since the front is a 17incher, there should be a speedo error too. The acceleration is in a different league altogether. The low is quick but not as quick as the mid and top. The bike rockets off in the mid band and goes all the way to the top. Cannot comment accurately on the rpm figures though.

i second the idea of changing the logo to some darker color, but not letting it be matt black. It seems like a noob paint job then, with nothing to break the monotony of the color, i hope you are getting what i am saying.

There should be some visual break up in the paint to give it more depth and appeal. And removing the protuding logos and putting stickers, will not only remove the feel/look that the logos are bland and simply sticking out, but will give some visual relief to the design.

Black alloys are easy, tough would be powdercoating the rim and spokes, and using the nuts only chromed, coz otherwise during installation, the paint will chip off them, and the rim will end up looking bad.

But a great look mate! i am already getting ideas for my build.

Which bike do you have?

Nice job, the look suits the bike.

What rubber have you got on the wheels?

The rear is 18" Zapper C and the front is a 17" R15 tire.

Lol. All credit goes to whoever made the chamber

Yeah, whole bike was painted over the top in a couple of hours. Taking off each part and painting will take 15 days here. I really dint have the patience.

Thanks buddy for answering my question

and it was just an idea nothing else as it is your bike looks awesome and I am sure that after the final paint job finishes it would look more deadly

take care and ride safe

Even am waiting to find time to do my baby up and finish the work.

Right now, she is going to be stripped down and prepared as a dirt bike for the upcoming autocross. Once am done with that, its back to finishing her, but its going to be very slow and steady thanks to my stupid exams.

**moeed** · 10-29-2009, 07:32 PM

Wow! Great job there. Your bike looks great.

**amardeep2006** · 10-29-2009, 08:06 PM

best looking RX i have ever seen.

**dcs** · 10-29-2009, 08:21 PM

Well, I somehow feel that the electrical are clumsily dealt with. Otherwise the paint is good.

All cheers!

**jd666** · 10-29-2009, 09:04 PM

@furioussphinx - i have a 2001 5 speed RXZ.

**psycho 98** · 10-29-2009, 09:06 PM

It would have been still better if u had dismantled the bike and painted, the paint job reminds me of mr bean brushing the teeth changing his clothes while he is driving

..

Hmm what about engine mods ? I spotted a keihin replica d flat there

P.S : you should have removed the tank dent and then repainted it ..

Yes, like I said still work isnt done yet. The rear should be finished and all the electricals need to be checked. Bulbs are fusing everywhere

Just a matter of time before she is all set. Small small works pending.

@moeed, amardeep2006 : thanks a lot guys!

Infact even I wanted it that way, but 15days was too long for me that time, I was ready for a week at the max. So the only option is spray on top.

That stupid painter was like he cannot take out the dent. First he was like all ok and after the job this is what he had to say. I had a nasty experience with him

Oh, I forgot to post the list of mods.

List of mods:
ART 58mm piston
Head ported and polished
Keihin d-slide 28mm carb
Custom Expansion Chamber
Custom sprocket and jetting
Exide battery (Karizma one, forgot the amps maybe 7.5)
DuPont Matte Black paintjob
FZ handlebar with bar end weights
Old bullet taillight
Roots Dualtone horn
Tires - 18" Zapper C at the rear and R15 17" front
Pulsar front end disk conversion with forks
RTR Mirrors

Waiting to try the RDD Digital CDI

2-strokes as good as it can be

One of my all time Fav bikes here - and I had only ridden her once - a very very short ride even before any mods were done to it and she already was a mini rocket then and over the time I have known on the mods that it had underwent but haven't seen it in flesh nor pics until today.

Man the looks rock - rugged hmmmmmm, it has spokes, it has dents, it has wires hanging/peeping, vibrates like crazy, transports you into a totally different world, light weight, deafening and people will know you are coming atleast a couple of miles in advance. Sure would like to ride her someday soon.

Coming to the top speed, the RPM, the FE - oh just forget about those - those are just numbers - on a two-stroke you don't worry about the numbers - just twist the right wrist and enjoy and this one is as best as it can get

You said you didn't had the patience to strip her apart for the paint job - had you done that, it wouldn't have given it this look, so not having patience as a virtue helps sometimes

Did you say we have a motocross event coming up in hyd? You preparing her and yourself for it? if I got that right - then All the best

How do you like the biker ahead loosing his concentration and checking his RVMs or actually looking back to check what exactly is it that is approaching him and before he realises, the 2-stroker screams past him leaving him in a blue haze?

Yaser bhai, zaroor you can always ride my bike anytime, your office is also just a 5min ride away from my place. You surely speak a 2-strokers heart
