      Oh! What a coincidence!

      Even I looked at the rear view mirror and you two were checking the bike out. I guess you were discussing about the GQ stickers on my bike. Next time we meet, would surely stop and chat!

          O really! ahem ahem...

          Well the bike will take a couple of days more.

          Today, the work done was fixing the cone set cup, footrests, gearleaver, chain set, chain cover and some minor stuff. The pint is still not done just because of this weather. uuuuuurrrrrrggggghh!!!

          And for the time being, you can check out the following pic, as the result would be somewhat same.

          Now can someone recommend a good rear tire???? And what about Pulsar 220 horns? Can they be fitted? Could not find out their rating.

                The paint job is simply amazing. You've given in a good place. BTW, why there're two rubber stoppers on the chain guard? Is it something specific only with RXZ ?

                          Well, this is the one I can think now, may expert can confirm...


                          IIRC, the Rx100 that I'd during 99 (96/97 last batch) had a chain inspection window on the top. But the recent one that I bought (new) has the chain inspection window at the bottom. So there's quite a chance that there's a mix & match combination. What would've happened is, the lower part of the chain guard would've rusted to core, due to which the previous owner would've bought a new one or picked up another old one that would've probably belonged to the recent batch.

                            Please remove the word 'baby' from the thread title. it looks bit annoying 'dying baby'.

                              Well, had you got a chance to take a look at the condition of the bike a few months ago, you would accept the title without a doubt.

                              Let me attach a few pics of the bike to justify the title.
