        Ha,Not the stock authentic RX because of the tyres and the seat.How i love stock setups!.And will have to see if my baby ever sees the monsoons.Thanks a lot Satish chetta,was a dream to own it someday and is a dream to ride it around,with knowledge about each nut,bolt and washer on the bike.

        Very nice build.
        Between, RX's upper chain cover has the opening for lubrication ?
        May be the later models and RXG/135 had it in lower chain cover?
        Thanks a lot brother,means a lot to hear such words!

          Bugger could have used same pattern screws on the outside for the sake of aesthetics

            Agreed. Different screws just give a downmarket vibe.

                      Great Job Bro!!! Good Luck. Enjoy your ride
                      I too restored my 1995 Yamaha RX100. Took almost 2months and finally got it all done last week on the 7th of March. Crash guard is yet to be installed.
                      Tried to restore it exactly to it's OEM state. 95% of the stuff what I have used is all original Yamaha. Posted some pictures. Hope you'll like them.

                        That's a neat job dude. Looking good.
                        Quoting my own post regarding the GB case stickering / painting. If it is of your liking, please get it done.

                        This will add more character to RX.

                          Thanks Mr.BOSS
                          Nice catch though. Yes I too want that black stripe done. The painter has asked me to come on Sat/Sun. Will hopefully get it done over the weekend.
                          And BTW I installed the Crash guard today. Will post the pictures soon

                            Dear Techis,

                            Need a suggestion on installing the RX135 Resonator kit on my RX100. Is the good and valubale for the bike.? How about the mileage..?

                            Thanks in advance.!

                              Try to get a kb or shogun resonator. It works better as internal volume is less. But the g resonator works too. Specially if you have a g carb.

                                You mean RXG resonator? Did G came with resonator?
                                My RXG doesn't have a resonator box..
