Wonderful job mate. Thread gone dead for some years, is there any update? |
Thank you sir for the kind words. Even I have been following your threads and have seen the fantastic restorations done by you.
The bike (Rx135- 5Speed, in context of this thread) is a charm to ride, and I keep falling in love with it again and again. That's the magic of 2 stroke.
Nothing beats the fun of a stock bike. I was never satisfied with any of the "performance" mods and after market fitments which were supposed to magically transform my bike. The day I reverted back to stock setup I felt really very happy to ride it again. I have come to the conclusion that any modification with the stock setup is like injecting steroids to ones body to extract that much "extra" from the stock, which ends up to more experimentation and finally ruining the fun-factor, not to mention the side effects on other organs too.
The chrome silencer is installed in place of the original big Catalytic Converter silencer, that's the only main change from the oe 5 speed company setup as it literally sheds approx a dozen kilo from the bike, and the sound is just amazing to the ears.
Planned future changes to the bike:
~ Brand new cylinder and piston kit.
~ Square headlight and indicators.
