    switches,tool box and mirrors i can buy from bangalore wheels.
    rest others i want the after market ones.
    regarding the headlight setup i just need the glass for the dome. if u can see its cracked, because a kid next door swung his bat and accidentally hit the head light.
    horn i want a little louder horn
    and number plates i will be going for the pressed number plates like yours psycho
    crash guard i want a better one. not the stock one

    now how to get the compression test done? does a normal local mechanic do these tests?

    gear lever and connecting rod has to be changed for sure. mech told that will cost 350 bucks for gear lever work

      sorry for the second post

      which set of tires you guys suggest for front and rear?
      and should the suspension be on the softer side for city riding condition?

        Go to castrol bike zone on rajkumar road, tell them that you are intrested in gold service ask them to check the compression first, after getting it done tell them you wil leave your bike the next day for service i must say

          lol!!!"tomorrow never dies" i have to lie now... wow but i will surely be charged for the compression test right?

          and regarding the tires i wanted to know how the moto D 3.00x18 work for rear and zapper 2.75x18 for front.

          and what about the suspension? i thought if i rise the rear shocks by one level the ride will be better

            I am sure you will not be charged, i my self have got it done twice preely

            and regarding the tires i wanted to know how the moto D 3.00x18 work for rear and zapper 2.75x18 for front.

            i am using the same tyres for the rear, damn tyre performs very bad in rains and wet patches, i am using it since i am stuck with it. for the front nothing beats the zapper fs.

            and what about the suspension? i thought if i rise the rear shocks by one level the ride will be better

            Its better you buy a new set of suspension it will somewhere cost 800 to 900 bucks for a pair.

              freee
              whatever comes free i will take it lol!!!
              will get it done soon and give you the results

              any other option other than zapper (since it is not easily available)?
              how about ceat, IRC? heard TVS also are good.

              and pradeep my shocks are good. just wanted to play with it. wanted to try few things on it, jus to see how the handling goes with different levels.
              shocks currently wont be replacing. will get the imported ones with double spring. looks cool.

                  will let you know when i am buying. first changes will be the minor cosmetics and tuning. tires will do for one more month. not in a hurry. but have to prepare the list.

                  @all
                  wanted to know how are the castrol bike zone services and work?
                  and guys from bangalore suggest me a good mechanic in and around rajajinagar and vijaynagar.

                    got the rear view mirror and the tool box installed. gave the battery for charging. we have to change the RR unit to get 12v, once we get that we will be installing a different head light with 55/60 bulb setup.
                    RR costs 475Rs and headlight setup will have to find out.once that is done horn will be installed.

                    rear view mirror - 100 Rs
                    tool box - 100 Rs

                    will be getting a new handle bar for 120Rs and add a ber to it and paint it silver. the total cost will be 350Rs.

                    guys what are the advantages of using yezdi wheel? other than drop in FE

                        i can try there but i am always traveling between vijaynagar and rajajinagar, so it would be easy that way. basaveshwarnagar is also ok

                          more updates
                          bike is sent for general servicing.
                          head light dome will be changed, RR will be changed to suzuki one to get the 12v, gear lever, horn, rear mud flap will be added. will give the complete breakup after i get back the bike.

                          @mods
                          we can close the poll now, since i have got the bike and it has been running for quite a lot of time.
                          we can also change the thread name to something suitable with the current discussions.

                            There is a Castrol Bike Zone in Basaveshwar nagar near coffee day and pizza corner. I had given my bike few times there, their service is not that great, so i have discontinued... You can give it a shot tho....

                              thanks mac,
                              but when you say its not great then i dont want to take a chance. for me this bike will be an extension of myself.
                              i am not looking at only castrol bike zone. any private mechanic who knows what he is doing is ok. currently my mech is doing a good job but i need an expert tuner near by.

                                i was looking at my cousins rx135, he had a double spring gabriel rear suspensions. it looked like discover 110 suspension.
                                is that suspension a direct fit for rx 100?
                                other than that which after market suspension is good?

                                and how much will a flash control headlight switch setup cost?
                                the one that can be seen in ybx and others?

                                @rx guys
                                wanted to know if choke for the bike is with the switch setup or with carb?
                                my choke is with carb?
                                is that default in all rx 100s?
