        Seems to be like a 1354 or 5 speed engine. Are you doing the actual work or getting it done through a mechanic? Awaiting for more...

                  I know you would know it BB

                  Thats an RXZ being restored. Well, the work is being done by mechanic as I know little about 2 strokes, but willing to learn. Also, the professional responsibilities do not allow me to do some hands on. Still, I visit the workshop every alternate day to know the update. Also, the mechanics are pretty trusted and I got the name from one of the threads on XBHP itself - Perfect Motors, Karol Bagh.

                  Till now, the engine work has been done, all the parts have been sourced (including the body parts), chassis pained and by tomorrow, the rims would be fitted and within a couple of days, I should get the bike!

                  But can someone tell me if I can fit FZ handle and pulsar 220 horns. It was a straight no for both. As far as the hand;e is concerned, I know it would fit. The horn part has a technical bend as I'm not sure if the coil would support the horns or not. Need some insight from the pros!

                    Champ bought an old Rx few months ago & he's in the process of restoration. So I guess he's updating his WIP on this thread.

                    P220's horn, if its more than 2.5A, then Rx will NOT support with a stock 2.5A battery. This will require to change the battery to 5A & fit a relay unit before the battery. Regarding charging, the stock 12V dynamo will do.

                    On FZ's handlebar, check out the dia of FZ's versus stock Rx's; atleast get the dia of stock FZ, but then, let me warn you, you'll have troubles with clutch & throttle cables. If you're is 135, then add the choke cable for the trouble.

                      @AARGEE

                      even I thought about the calbe trouble, mine is an RXZ btw. However, if the motocross handle can fit (as I've seen in many of the bikes) I dont think there should be a problem with the FZ handle. Or what better could it be to fir the motocross handle! Can this be done without altering the cables???

                          Well, you can get your handle bar or the cable altered for length. But the problem I see is (did face too) if the cable conks off in middle of no where, you have to rush to your mech to get it done. So it becomes a burden to depend on that guy to keep one in stock always. If you've a stock setting, you can always get one from any authorized YMIS or even a local spares parts dealer. Choice is yours.

                          Well, I don't know exactly if the fits will be fine or not. If you're able to get hold of a FZ's clutch/throttle cables, compare the length with RXZ's cable length. If they're of same length (outer excluding the bend part on the top) then nothing to worry, they will fit for sure. Otherwise you'll need to do a juggad work!!!

                            Let us know your feedback on sourcing RXZ body parts. I by the way hate RXZ re-build threads cause I am jealous It is been my dream to own one since my college days.

                            All the best and waiting eagerly for the pics.

                              Right now I just have the "ripped off" images, the final work, including the paint is due. Pearl white for sure. would soon put the pics and the "blabber" soon

                              RG, that was some insight buddy. would surely check them. dont want to do any jugaad work as the parts are already an "endangered species"

                              Would surely check though
