If your rear end of the bike is not wobbling, you do not need to change the swing-arm bushes. The RX100 ones, are something probably you will never have to change in your lifetime. 2lac Kms, 3lac kms? Even more. You have to provide heat right on the bush holes to loosen the bushes so that come out. And then, while putting the new ones apply heat and put the new, so that they snug tight. Remember there is no oversize for the swing-arm bushes . Even, the most seasoned mechanic's nightmare it is. Anyways...

Same thing for your swing-arm. If it is not faulty, why change it? The new one that you will buy OE, will never come even close in build quality to the one that you have on your bike. Secondly, the new one may have faults? I once saw a person who bought a new chassis, his was an accident case, so he had to buy a new chassis for his Splendor. After the bike was assembled, he was shocked to find that the new chassis did not have the right line or alignment. The chassis had to be changed and bike had to be re-assembled again.

For all your cycle parts, it is recommended that you retain the originals, if they are not giving you any trouble. Believe me, you will be saving a lot (A LOT in fact) of headache.

But if your are having obsessive attacks with your rebuild, follow your heart. I did the same for my Shogun, and ended up spending a fortune on the bike + time. Traveled to Bangalore. Traveled to Baroda. Traveled to numerous old TVS dealers in my state just to get spares. Learnt many things. Met some kick-ass helpful people. Made new friends. Met some dishonest crooks. Met utter jerks. It was some fun. Unparalleled. Probably won't happen again.

No wobbling or anything; as I mentioned earlier, wanted a fine fit & finish; anyway, I'M NOT CHANGING THE SWING ARM

Never knew its so complicated ; better I'd not touch something that's working.

Nothing like obsessive attacks, I'm more interested in building the motorcycle by myself or in my presence; I've a vision on the output that keeps getting better & better every day through fine inputs from best people who've built it with their countless hours of experience & I owe them a big Thanks in my lifetime.

WOW - nothing beats that, absolutely nothing beats this experience

it doesnt get sold because it doesnt get replaced unless its bent or anything..

Guys, Thanks so much for your inputs & I appreciate;
I got the 5 speed sprocket today - Thanks JD for the support; I got it confirmed that its 15/38 & not 15/37; had to call up the distributor @ Madurai & mech to confirm this; The current one running on my bike is 34 sprocket, so I assume it should be 4 speed barrel's sprocks. I'm due to post so many pics here , which I'll do soon

^^ oops, so i told you wrong.. can u check in the RX100 and RXG manuals what is the number of teeth? that might give an idea?? i dont have my PC around, otherwise i wouldve checked easily.

@JD - Take it easy bud ; RX135 says a different part number than the one I read for you, starts with 4TL while the one I bought starts with 1L, I verified the tooth wheels to be 34 on the rears presently; Rx100, not sure what's the number

RX100 - 15/39
RXG - 15/37
4 speed - 16/34
5 speed - 15/38

Whoa!!! Thank you SunnyBoi

But is that 16/34 responsible for the higher torque? What happens if there's a mix & match combination? Worth giving a try 16/38 & 15/34; I guess 15/37/38 doesn't make big difference right?

Just wanted to update few points on the front forks; I'm planning to buy the entire front fork assembly of Rx135 & fit in; All the parts will be replaced except the bottom cover; reason is because, the existing disc setup cannot be plonked into Gladiator's front fork; however, the Rx135 doesn't have a disc setup either; hence I thought of buying all the parts for the front forks except the bottom so that the bottom part will be used from the existing setup.

Can anyone provide better inputs pls? Thanks.

^^ slightly confusing.. you have a disc setup but it wont fit the gladis forks???

Well, the front forks & disc brakes are from RX115; none of them are Indian makes; So the groove for the disc brakes in glad's fork's are not direct take & fit match; atleast this is what the mech has confirmed; instead he asked me to get all the internal components of Rx135's front forks except the bottom & hence they could easily match; I also thought its a good idea since I can stick to stock as much as possible & all the more, the height will not increase further.

JD, do you smell something fishy?

^^ why all the complication... why not the gladi's disc setup directly... simple and easy...

- u need the bike to last u.. anything from the rx115 goes amiss, and then you will be back to square 1.
- What is a direct fit, and works well, is anyday better than doing a jugaad ( makeshift arrangement ), and using alternates.
- Good morning to you too!!! i just woke up and came online, dint realise u just posted!!

Good Morning buddy , let me take some effort to sound more clear this time with the pic.

Present situation
Parts A, B & C that are marked is from RX115, this was the trick done by my old mech

To be state as we discussed
- Part C & A will be from Gladiator
- Part B will be from what is present state
- So the problem as stated by the mech, is that, part A has to be tweaked a little bit so that part B will seat properly

Proposed situation
- Part A, B & C will remain as such, but all the inner components that goes into C & above will be changed as RX115's & RX135 are direct match

Let me know if I confused you or else I'll give you a call.

So u need to tweak the mounting to fit the caliper so it aligns with the disc right??? Yeah then its fine.. just make sure that the mounts are welded properly and are not too weak/thin.

Man, again I'm failing to make you understand
No tweaking work to be done; the existing suspension will remain as such, only thing is all the components except the part C will remain in the new setup; this means, right from the top chromed pipe to springs to oil seal to a single washer everything will be new, except the mount from the existing setup

^^ lol!!! guess i am really dumb at getting these things!!! sorry man!!
