  • The RXZ rebuild :)

    Managed to get my hands on a decent 4 speed RXZ for peanuts so picked it up instantly. Plan is to rebuild it to stock spec and have a bling commuter as most of my bikes look like shit :P Plus a few recent spills on my RXG have screwed up its chassis beyond repair. So will have to rebuild that too :P

    I have had a long time dream to own one of these and have it in a Yamaha blue shade with 5 speed stickers. A lot of work needs to go into the bike and I've already procured most of the spares. Hope to get the bike running right and get a lot of crucial spares along my way

    Pics to follow soon

    Cheers

                      Thanks for the wishes fellas Have got a lot to learn about good cycle parts and aesthetic restoration from dear friends like yamdoot and bigbore. So thought why not give this a go

                      Have managed to procure a lot of parts in small installments. Boy RXZ parts are rare or what I had trouble finding quite a few of these.

                      Spent the last weekend stripping down the bike. Attaching pics of the bike

                      Cheers
