That is true about the meter. In my city there is a meter woks shop by the name of Pandari meterworks. He does an exceptional job. The point is perhaps some senior members can guide you towards a good meter repair guy in your city. Pop the question to see.

Nice looking Rx man. But doesn't look like it needs a restoration yet. Ofcourse the picture is not that detailed to be able to show any niggles.

Nice ride though.

Na i know a meter repairer, his name is Saini meterworks and his shop is not that far either from my house will visit him tomorrow and see what happens, one more thing is it possible to get old speedometer which were embossed with escorts or rajdoot, even if i can have only the body of the speedometer alone that would be nice as rest of the internals can be used of my current Yamaha written meter.

Get the body and the dial. If your getting it Get two if you can ( one for me) if you don't mind and send me the parts. I will pay for them

No I asked because I thought why to throw away the strong old chassis for a lighter new one. Actually here in my city we have guys who do treatments for chassis like these but it would get expensive for you to get the bike here and get it done. best to replace if you're getting a new chassis.

I know older ones are way stronger than new...but rust eats its major portion hence i wanna new .

Yes my point exactly. Older is more reliable. But if you use new one it will be more easily ruined. On my mechanics bike chassis was rusted to oblivion so he cut out the rusted portion. Heated and tempered the remaining and cut and fixed new metal in the gaps. And voila good as new. Cost of new chassis isn't exactly low I mean

Yeah I know still I would retain my old one. But in your case the damage is too much right. So I say go ahead, in the long run its better to replace than to save what is too far gone.

and i found the plug to be on darker side from previous white.

That is a good colour. Test the bike a bit at variable speeds at variable acceleration. Test if it I able to effertlessly reach the top speed of each gear and you'll know to retune or detune the bike but from the pics it looks ok
