      Congrats on the Rx Akshay...

      Being a '88 model it in a decent condition I must say and an interesting paint scheme too. I dont think '88 model is nore than 100cc its the same 98cc trusted mill.

      IMHO

      The ignition key of the RXZ is better and I would recommend you to get the complete front end of the RXZ so that you'll be able to install front disc if you wish. Also the RXZ speedo assembly would fulfill your wish for rpm meter as well and also centralized handlebar lock...

      As for others you'll get OEM as far as i know...

      Good Luck with your rebuild and keep us updated with stories and pics...

        Looks like it is using Yezdi 16 inchers in rear. You might want that to go sock 18 inchers. On the basis of my rebuild, here are some cost estimates.

        1. Full paint (Original Red) - 3500
        2. Ignition key (Which one is good? Minda or Yamaha RXZ) - Comes with the complete lock set. Minda. RXZ will be hard to get.
        3. Electrical wiring + converting to 12v - 1500
        4. Meter with Rpm - Go for stock meters, plonking the rpm requires precision.
        5. Front and back Mudguard Front - 900, Rear 500 (2 piece)
        6. Original Seat - 880
        7. Footrest - 300
        8. Exhaust pipe (will I get original?) - The RX100 stock muffler will be hard to find.

            @ blasteringintelligence, thanks for your information, im planning same!

            @ swingarm, but when i asked about the painting thy are telling me that it will costs around 4.5k to 5k

            and when i checked about the RXZ ignition key original one was 520rs but the box contains only ignition key
            What should i do for fuel tank cock and tool kit box
            can u suggest me particular place / garage in Bangalore for painting and other stuffs.

                akshay you can order the entire lock set as a single set. one key, and locks for everything. let me know if u need any help.

                  As said earlier by swingarm, the Meter with RPM you can go for RXZ's, however, drilling the engine case should be precise.

                  The other option would be to get RXZ engine case for the RPM meter set up, since the brand new ones are hard to find these days, might want to think about a used one from junk yard should you really want that done.

                  With regards to exhaust pipe, what I can suggest is to get new chrome pipe, remove the existing muffler/core (flute like thing at the rear end of exhaust) and fit the existing RX100's muffler/core on to the new pipe for the RX100 beat. New chrome pipe costs around 1570MRP.

                  Wiring harness kit - use Minda, it costs around 280.

                    Full paint including chassis, engine case, exhaust pipe, tanks, shield would cost around 8k. I got a quotation for this recently.

                          Akshay the quotation for the paintjob also depends on the quality of the paint and the brand. Be sure which one you want to go for, otherwise someone would dupe you with a cheap paint and you'd end up paying a bomb for it.
                          get in touch with fellow xbhpians in bangalore and find a reliable place to get the work done...
