    Thanks Bro Trust me loads of effort & patience. Restoring a RX135 is way easier to restore compared to a RXZ. But trust me the effort and patience pays off well!!

    Cheers!!

    Thanks RX88 The spares are endless as i am replacing to all new parts! Yes the meter assembly bracket is of the RXZ (Speedo + Pilot Lamp Box + RPM). The 4 speed and 5 speed RXZ both have the same console!!

      @Arun: I don't know what to say on your determination when it comes to restoration jobs. Hats off to you!

      I have not heard often taking up one restoration job after the other.
      Your hard work and patience had always resulted in mint and gloss finished job. I'm sure this one would not be any less.

      I'm sure after this RXZ restored, you should be wondering which bike to take out of your garage which is filled with 2Stroke.

          Thanks for those kind words Sriram The RXZ is really coming up well. It should be ready in a day or two as i have a very hectic work schedule. The engine is completely set and started Its giving a very good compression. Will be going for the stock Rxz silencer as earlier i was planning to go for the cat-con (only for the complete 5 speed Rxz look)

          By the way no restorations for the next few months as you know why

          Cheers!

                  Thanks a lot Nitesh for posting the pics and also for the valuable inputs and spares provided by you for my Rxz rebuild And all thanks to my friend Sameer who made my dreams come true by helping me rebuild this ride. The bike is looking fabulous and running very smoothly Did a small puja before actually using the bike
                  I just came back home after a long ride, completed 115 kms. It was such a pleasure to ride the "BEAUTY". I am extremely happy and content with the way it has come up, it came out exactly as i had planned. Clicked some pics in the dark but will click some more and post tomorow

                  Cheers!!

                            Planning to put the RDD 90/100 kit as lighting needs an upgrade. But all this only after 2,500 kms.
