  • Great going Sri..

    Though I wont be able to help out with the oil gauge. I do have some OE helmet lock sets lying with me for my 2 stroke buddies.

      Sorry could not take the pic of tank as it is yet to be opened from the box.
      I think the colour most closely matches with the Red (Candy Red/Cherry Red-each has his own name for it) that came in the 80s RX100. Better than their 'Ferrari' Red' which is currently available. Anyways, I will check it out at YASS here, in case if its not available here, maybe come down to Chennai

          Even yesterday asked for the maroon color panels here, was told, it needs to be ordered. I'll keep checking with them if at all they happen to get for someone.

                            • Ah! Finally! Looks good Sriram. But that pic is not making any justice to the bike :-(

                              Eagerly awaiting better pics+ a you tube video of starting and revving the bike

                              P.S The tank and side panels colour finally seem to be clear to me now. Pictures of it earlier in the thread made it oh so close to red
