It all started back in 2004, when i met this Guy during our PG Days. I already had 2 RX135s then & this guy after test riding my baby wanted nothing else except an RX. He had a KB100 before, but upgrading to an RX was a dream come true for him.
Took him to Yamaha Showroom & since the dealer knew me pretty well, he said he can offer us the below bikes:
The asking price for an RX-Z was too much & my friend was not too keen on buying an RX-Z for all the Bling-Bling factor associated with it. So we went ahead & bought Black Colour RX135 4-Speed. Since most of you already know, the latest RX135 4-Speed came with RX100 type Tank & Shield Sticker Designs, hence my friend wanted a stock RX135 look. Here is what we did even before we took delivery from showroom:
Fast forward 8Yrs & even till date the bike is running on the same setup, yes even the tyres are still the same. So now finally my friend decided to overhaul his bike, especially the engine part. Knowing his crave for Higher Power, i formulated a solution for him, after thorough discussion.
Below is the brief list of Items that will go into his bike, which when completed will be one of a kind:
As with every build, there is a motive & in this case it is about really quick acceleration. We will be putting this bike to test along side my Modified Esteem & Chethan's Modified VTEC for quarter mile timings.
The friend i am referring here is none other than Ashwin (xbhp id : iamdstig) & i will leave you guys with a teaser pic for now.
With Regards,
Karthik
