Re: Touring modifications for stock Yamaha RX100
So, after a month of being dormant([emoji28] I am really sorry) here are the stuff done on my bike till now.
- hazard lights installation (would make another thread for an RX if requested)
It works wonderfully and mod is reliable
- a new Reflector lens for headlight ( Hella one) with a HS1 12V 35/35w bulb it has wonderful light output
This is the level of darkness
.
This is with the new headlight setup
- Also fitted her with new pair of Horns with a Relay. Again Hella ones[emoji57] which are as loud as a Cars horn [emoji28]
- then comes a new muffler which after 2000km has also become loud [emoji23] again due to carbon buildup but has really good back pressure
- also in case of Vibrations we (me and a fellow 2-stroker) found out that my clutch bell had developed awful lot of play which was making a lot of noise and vibration.
So we replaced the whole Cltuch assembly with old stock spares just to be sure that his problem never arises. And the result was 50%-60% of my vibrations were gone and my bike was performing better than ever[emoji16].
So no need for cushion seat now.
- Also I have installed a Studds Luggage box on a long carrier fitted to my RX
.
Here are the stuff that I store in it i.e. a toolbox, some spare parts(spark plugs, extra chain links, some silencer muffler screws[emoji28]) along with bungee cords and cloths for cleaning
By the way this box looks a bit absurd but is very helpful
- Also have ordered a pair of fresh Michelin rubber i.e. Sirac Street 2.75X 18 at front and
3.00 X 18 at rear
- I have dropped the idea of installation of Disc brakes on my bike as I had recently replaced complete front and rear braking components and I have to say now[emoji28] that drum brakes are not bad too until they are not maintained properly [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28]...
