Congrats

damn good luck with that brah I hope the motor isn't as screwed up as the cosmetics are

Congrats. . . ....bring her back to the stock look n tech..wish I could also join RD Owners Club someday, yes my dream. God knows when it will come into reality.
All the best for your restoration work...

hey

congrats ! its not clear but that seems like MP 04 (Bhopal number)! if its Bhopal u must have got it cheap! how much was it if u don't mind (PM me)

try and restore this amazing machine to the stock specs...congrats again

It has to be dafc, it looks totally shagged. Out here in B'lore to restore such a piece of crap one would need Rs.1,50,000/- if going for all OE parts or atleast racing parts.

Last time around my friend payed Rs.10,500/- for clutch plates alone !!!!! RD parts are extremely expensive. A brand new US spec barrel will cost Rs.40,000/- (Ex. works price)!!!!!

Good luck to the guy.

damn that's crazy

U Bangy guys are really nuts .... I picked up a set in the Rajdoot packing for Rs 1200 ... hell I even picked up oil pumps for Rs 800 each ... heheheh

Rs.1,50,000/-

Seeing the figures quoted by you I'm really getting

Then I would suggest you to collect some contacts in US/UK, get Tourist Visa, Stay there for 1 month enjoy the stay and get all the parts you need for the restoration work and ship them.

Anyway I'm sure with a sum of 1,50,000/- you gonna have double benefit(Visiting other country + Genuine parts for your bike)

This is going to be one heckva rebuild! Cannot wait to see the results. All the best 2strokey! Go for it!

Beautiful inspiration! A few more of the same one on the way.

^^: Your bike?!! Looking damn cute...and its KLL Registration. Where are you from?

Congrats on getting the blank canvas! Now its time to paint(or rather build) your masterpiece.

First things first, get the papers sorted and get the bike running. use it for a while and list out things that need to be fixed. Then start dismantling the bike.

Friendly advice, dont jump onto the stock trip! Its Pointless! Concentrate more on the engine and get good parts. You can collect the 'stock' cosmetic parts over time and keep but right now it shouldn't be your main concern.

10.5k for clutch plates is a joke! Plates go for around 1k and last around 4k of hard-ish riding. More if you dont accelerate like a nut or like me! You can get very good Barnett clutch plates for around 8k.

Check economycycle.com or sudco for parts. Others, plz chip in with sites that might help..

Also, you'll start receiving many PM's from people trying to sell you supposedly original parts. Stay away! Everyone is out to find a bakra and make a quick buck.

I restored a bike that was in worse condition for around 60k(we had stock of a few parts + electricals worth about 20k i guess) and all good stuff went into the engine. The bike was literally pulled outta the ground without the top-end. the crankcase had concrete in it and the chassis had to be replaced. The build was in-house with no mechs involved.

Unsleeved cylinders are available for around 10-15k and sleeved ones for around 4k. This is just a ballpark figure and might be on the higher side.

All the best with the restoration! Dont worry, you can do it and do a bloody good job at it! Just use a systematic approach to it!

A lot of parts were sourced directly from Siyal @ blore. No middle men involved thus i got a good deal on the stuff i picked up.

Cheers!
