It's time to give my 8 years companion a new fresh look and feel. She took care of me even in her bad times also. And never gave me any big troubles till now.
About my ride: I bought my rx in 2007 from Mumbai as soon as I got a job there. I mean from my 1st salary.it was not in such a good shape. I rode her for 3 months and did 1st restoration from a mechanic. Spent a huge amount and later found that parts listed on the bill were different and the items installed are different. I mean most are after market parts and quoted for oem bill. It was a failure. But I had to ride it for some years. Rode for 4 years and in between I replaced almost all parts with oem gradually.
Again it was time for a restore and this time I did everything myself. Cant tell this as a complete restore as i didnt pulled out the engine from chasis. I painted it as it is.This time installed front disk setup also. After 6 months I gave my bike to a friend for his trip and he literally broke my bike. Engine seized. Crank broken. Sprocket chain damaged etc. I wanted to put a new stock block and piston. But since because of vitamin M deficiency I put SAM block and mahle piston. Trust me it's damn good and riding it since from 4 years and still no damages. I didn't find any difference in performance also.
Now again it's time for another rebuild. This time I am dismantling everything and doing a complete rebuild. Job started today. Estimated time is 7-10 days. Today Removed meter , pilot lamps headlight ,indicators, switch assembly etc. Work halted because of too many mosquitos. Will resume tomorow morning.
Will be updating here day today progress.
