Brilliant work there Prashanth...
I wonder what ur going through when ur on the roads...
The Ninja's would also bow down to you
A small suggestion: the front mudguard I feel is too straightened out. I feel it could be a little rounded off. Or maybe were the RD's like that initially?Never Argue with an Idiot !!!

@All : thank you guys for your appreciation.
@psycho: As of now im not running any filter.its open. But thats cause Im not able to find a filter to match the bell size of the 32's ..il probably get a K&N pancake filter or somethin like that in a week or twos time once ive figured which one suits the bell size.
@Coplay: I will look into that mate..have'nt really noticed that till u pointed out..cheers!'68 Jawa 250 ,'76 Yezdi 250, '85 RD350, '88 RD350 , '95 TZR250 3XV, '01 RX 135 5speed, '05 Pulsar 180Dtsi V1

Running openthats wrong measure the bell sizes and order the Uni's online, for gods sake dont run Kn's or openly, its not good for your liner.

nice restoration job prasant, AFAIK, this is the first RD in India with US spec paint job. a fury disk with the forward mounted caliper + modifying the mudguard supports & mounting them to the front axle will complete the job.Biker of the Year -2013

This has got to be one of the best restoration job's i have come across.
Superb work Prashant. Hats off to ya. *clap clap*
I can imagine the amount of time, effort, blood, sweat, tears and money that has gone into this. This sort of commitment and dedication only proves your passion for the RD.
Enjoy the bike and ride safe bro.

@Psycho : Yup I shall do that soon. And for now Im running it open but the bike is hardly being run :P ...I do about 1 km every two days..just waiting for the paper work to be done fully and properly. Shall not take her out on a proper ride without filters
@Frank : I do have the option of getting the original RD brakes including the rotors et all but my tuner aka Raju Sir says that they weigh quite a lot and so wants me to get a system from a newer litre class bike..and that shall be done soon.
@Aditya: thanks mate..appreciate it!

Awesome Prashanth..looks like you have spent a fortune for this restoration,instead of your SBK pursuit...
but RDs demand respect and this restoration is evident of your passion for this ageless beauty...
Congratulations...Hammer the racetrack. Pace yourself on the street.
