RX135 Custom Build Questions
Im planning to build a custom bike using RXT 135 (I think its the same as RX135. Just called RXT135 here in my country), I have some questions regarding some parts maybe someone can help.
1. Swing arm compatibility? I wanna change the swing arm to a beefier look and also convert to rear disc brakes, what swing arms are available with the least modifications needed or if possible "plug n play". Also planning to change it to a monoshock. and add bigger tires
2. Inverted forks or longer forks? What would be better? I found some inverted china forks on aliexpress but im not sure if its compatible. or maybe change to a longer beefier fork, at the same time changing it to disc brakes. I also want to make the bike taller another reason why I want a bigger fork. also bigger tires
3. Disc Brakes? How to convert the rear drum to disc brakes. If I cant find a different swing arm, would it be easy to convert the rear drum brakes to disc brakes?
4. DT175 6 Speed Transmission, i've heard its compatible but is it just an easy swap or would there be any modifications needed?
5. DT175 block and piston, I know someone who has a DT175 block and piston set. Is it compatible if I just replace the whole block and piston? Would I need to change the conrod too?
6. What carb size should I use when on a 175 block? other mods that would make the bike better? I don't want it to be all looks
I hope someone can help me with this, I don't wanna spend too much buying the wrong parts.
Thanks!
