If you're talking about Chennai weather & rust, then you must be happy because my OE parts are rusting less than 6 monthsOriginally posted by dpak89 View Postguys whats the rate...alternatives ??? like splendor rims ???
Alternatives - CD 100 rims for front & Splendour/CD 100's for rear
Cost of chroming is more than cost of new ones

speedo units -3 in no can be bought separately also!! ie only speedometer or only ignition console or only the indicator console!! some 5 months back the ignition console and indicator console alone cost about 200 i think (90+100)...try getting original speedometer at least ...it may cost high i hope!! some of the xbhp'ians can help you procure it!!original speedo is very rare to get!!! though there is a local brand called "JC" which sells all these RX consoles now!!!all you get in market is from this brand only!!Originally posted by Anish71 View PostCan any one tell me the approximate price of the speedo unit of rx 135 5 speed?Rx is a Phoenix!!!

You mean Caliber's? Hope its not 17 incher!!! Anyway, BAL's quality has come down these days unlike the old time which was better than the present time. However, still, it was still inferior in quality compared to Yamaha that was inferior to Hero Honda. So think twice before buying a rim from BAL.Originally posted by dpak89 View Posti am going to buy that brand of rims if it is still available!!!Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle

You're perfectly right in your understanding Deepak, but what I'm trying to say is Caliber could be 18 incher manufactured by some vendor & supplied to BAL. But since Caliber is stopped AND IF BAL has stopped using 18 incher on all their models, they MIGHT've asked the same vendor to produce 17 incher.Originally posted by dpak89 View Postoh!!
..i thought...available now and post it today!!!
But don't worry, if you fail on everything, CD100's & Splendor's rim WILL come to rescue for sure.Skill is what keeps you on a Motorcycle
