  • My 1998 RX-135 Restoration

    Hi all,
    This is my first post on Xbhp.Thought i should post a few pictures of my 1998 Born RX-135.Have put in a lot of Time & Energy since the last one month.

    My very dear friend Arun (Userid:- Bigbore) who selflessly helped me out in sourcing all the original parts & who spend time with me from Morning until night in restoring the bike.Thanks a ton Arun without you it would not have been possible.

    Specs:- RDD CDI, RDD 90/100,RDD Filter, Converted from 4S TO 5S in the year 2000,Plonked a 5 speed block 1st OS Recently.

    P.S:- The blue RXZ is Bigbore's newly restored love.Out of the Three Musketeers
    2 are bigbore's & one bike is my RX.

                Great work Actamol! The bike looks absolutely beautiful.
                What can I say about Mum-Bhai's (Doc and Arun)? They are Restoration Specialist! They had always helped me in many ways including sourcing of spares.

                  Surely lets meet up this week sometime! And yes, you have to ride Amol's 5 speeder, she's getting better by the day!! Amol is doing the break-in pretty well.. His patience for sure is being tested to the limits
