    The condition was so bad, so we went painting it in Black....I may get a new one soon.

    1981 Rajdoot Deluxe

    Here is my 1981 Rajdoot Deluxe

    A gift from my uncle , he used this for more than 20 years and didn't want to sell to anyone.
    It was exposed to chemicals and iron ores in New Mangalore Port, where he was employed.

    As he bought new Honda Activa, kept this idle for 2-3 years and the condition deteriorates day by day because of the Mangalorean weather.

    Sorry for not having the photo of the bike before restoration.

    Took 3 months to restore and rode straight to his house......and he was stunned and shocked to see his bike as NEW

    Details

    Engine type: 2- stroke, Single cylinder
    Bore& stroke : 61.5 X 58 mm
    Displacement : 173 cc
    compression ratio : 6.6:1
    Carburetor : horizontal 24mm mikuni
    ignition : Flywheel magneto
    Power : 9 bhp @ 5000 rpm
    Torque ( max) : 1.37 kg-m @ 3500 rpm
    gear box: 3 speed constant mesh.
    gear ratios : 2.89 , 1.47 & 1

    @ rookieraj .....I do my level best turning wrenches, chasing mechanics and painting myself
    As I said before......all my good friends are with me when help needed, otherwise it's impossible to continue the passion.
    Muthu sir is not only my friend.....also my guide, teacher and more over adviser.
    I have few online / telephone friends, I often call them to take advise.

    Thanks all
