a link type mono at rear will add more functionality and form as well....
that front looks nice, looking forward to the build......Comment

Thanks insane ! I need the linked mono too but it required a lot of mods and removal of battery box etc.. besides its not available for a light bike like RX. So for now its twin shocks inclined at an acute angle like classic motocrossers. Lets see how it all goes.. keeping my fingers crossed..Originally posted by insane_x97 View PostLast edited by yamdoot; 12-12-2011, 12:10 AM.1985 Yamaha RD350 HT

After the front end mod, it never looked like an Indian bike at all. Let me wait for the remaining work to complete and then will look forward for pictures. Amazing work doc.Last edited by SriramEfunds; 12-12-2011, 04:22 PM.RX100 1996 | Karizma 2004 | Karizma-R 2011 | RXZ 1999 | RX 135 1998 | RX 100 1993 | CBF150 2005 - 2011

Ok.. some updates. plonked in the O.E RXZ meters, headlight today. Tried a stock RX front mudguard and i think it looks good! Lots of minor cosmetics to be done.
Work done till now-
Rear shock mounts fabricated.
Meter plate fabricated to accomodate RXZ meters.
Headlight stays for my old headlight.
longer side stand.
Some paint touch ups after the welding and fabrications.
Took it for a test ride . The bike does not feel too high. The suspension is great on rough roads.
Will post more daylight pics later.

Hi Nitesh, the bike is coming up well. Something refreshing. Different than the usual stock restorations.

Nitesh:- Awesome!! It is looking slightly tall and gained the offroad look for sure. Did you think about long grab rail(pillion grab rail with carrier)? I guess it would give a nice look.RX100 1996 | Karizma 2004 | Karizma-R 2011 | RXZ 1999 | RX 135 1998 | RX 100 1993 | CBF150 2005 - 2011

Super Sir! It doesn't look too radical and thats what I liked about it. Will not look out of place in a office parking lot
Pics taken in daylight would have been even better.A lone amateur built the ark. A large group of professionals built the Titanic...Comment

@ Doc - Beautiful yet a Killer looking Stance... Has come out extremely good...! Woww.. That side stand to my guess will be the length of my leg!
P.S. How is it to ride? Why has been the chamber pulled off? Any handling department concerns because of the unusual sizing? Why is the Oil Pump cover Open? Hoping that it's been removed for RPM meter work, is the meter's fully functional? I'm assuming that the RPM & Speedo cable length would have caused an issue with the current fork travel set-up?
