      • Again posting after a long time, work has kept me away with further updates although nothing new was being done. Planning to spend some time this or maybe the next weekend & install the disc set-up & apart from that the bike is running super clean & just needs clutch plate replacement as something i feel is wrong with the way the bike shifts.

        Ok, using again this same thread for another restoration of my friend who has handed-over the bike to me from Sivakasi asking me to restore, after a long wait & thoughts finally agreed to take it up as late night shifts & here it is...in crappy as ever condition.







        Here's the condition of the bike;
        1. Full blown list of duplicate body parts
        2. The icing is the headlight assy, some honeycomb $hitty design looks awkward
        3. Engine is almost on it's final death stages
        4. Duplicate Carb
        5. ..more...


        Agreed to restore on one condition, no time frames pls. The bike is with me & for some reason i'm hating to ride it inspite of my never ending love towards the Z.

        Anyways, will start sourcing the parts from this week & will keep you guys updated.

                Hi Ramesh, I'm basically from Saibaba Colony, settled down with my own family in Trichy road now. Would love to see your 100 man. I'm in search of my dad's old 1989 Rx 100. Somehow sold it on unfortunate events, planning to get it back if i find, anyhow heard that it's still in coimbatore only. Let me see if i can source it.

                            To my knowledge it comes in black. If there is something changed in recent times after KBX was acquired/replaced by Bybre then it is a different story.

                                Just to match the Chrome theme Sriram. Btw. it's not chromed, it's hand buffed

                                No, Aargee being it a second hand Master cylinder, the paint was kind of peeling due to the Oil reservoir leakage. So Hand buffed it, so now even if the DOT-4 Lube spills, it will just be a wipe & go...
