    Thanks a lot for the wishes Satish

    The Ravi Nagesh CDI & 90/100 Lighting Kit is not the same as RDD kit. The RDD Kit is much better in terms of quality and output. Since i am using both i can surely make out the difference. But would also suggest the Ravi Nagesh Kit as value for money compared to the RDD!

    Arun, all the best for the restoration. I know it would be a one hell of a task to go through parts manual to procure all the spares. Your previous restoration projects must have given enough confidence and know the best way to get the RX100 out in a showroom condition.

    I'll be the last to complete my bike's restoration..
    Thanks a lot Sri for your wishes!

    Since this is my 9th Complete RX Restoration (restored a few friends RX's but never posted on xBhp) by now i dont even have to go through the service manual Hoping the rebuild is completed soon!

    Whats the progress with your RX100? Keep us posted! And my best of wishes for your rebuild too

    The meters looks original and the bike is looking pretty stock with many OE goodies.
    All the best for the restoration...
    Thanks a lot Dinesh!

    Couldnt find the old OE Rajdoot Meters and Escorts Metal key sets. The ones fitted on the bike were non-functional and will be replaced by RXZ meters!

            RXZ meters will look good and will also give a different look to the bike.
            How will you make the RPM meter work in the RX

              The RXZ meters surely look more sporty. I will be using a new RXZ Clutch Side Cover for the RX.

                Man, the Metal keys of the RX look and feel awesome!

                I'm ready to even use USED ones on my Bike (If I can find one in a working condition, and if someone is ready to give it to me! )

                Saw the parts and the bike! Waiting for it completion!

                Must say, lots of hardwork is being taken by you, BigB!
                Money can get a 1942 BSA these days, but even Warren Buffet's whole Bank account can't get us our leg back!

                  Thanks Shreyas, some serious hard work arranging spares

                  I know you were eyeing the metal keys for your RX. I will need to ask permission from my friends dad for the key set. If a YES from his side, ITS ALL YOURS SHREYAS!!

                    Awesome stuff.
                    Great you got all the parts in 3 months.
                    It looks like the bike is going to be even better than how it was rode out of the company.

                    Wish I had your kinda working hand.
                    More pictures please.

                    And may be you can add a picture by picture putting the bike back manual
                    Can you elaborate your order of striping the bike to nothing.
                    - Both would be a great treat to people like me.

                      Rode the Bike. The engine is super smooth and soundless. The paint quality is also nice. Riding it gives a brand new bike feel ! Will be even better after the run-in.

                              Finally got my engine completely restored, with the RDD Cdi and 90/100 lighting kit, thanks to Arun for taking the trouble and for the hard work put in by him in procuring the OEM spares. Thanks also to Sir Ron for the lovely kits. Engine sounds just like new and also a mask improvement in performance....... Thank You!!
