Where in Borivali? Tony said its difficult to get. I've asked someone to order it from Yamaha in the north. Will get confirmation in sometime.

Sigh!! Looking at all the post and pics brings back very fond memories of my RX 135 5G.. It was my first ever bike. Bought it in 2000 and sold it in 2005. Used it to zip around Bangalore during college years. Had a very sweet sound to it with the expansion chamber. The mods included Chamber, Yezdi rims and wheels, Yezdi headlight dome, Shogun indicators and Shogun Handle bars. Boy, I wish I had retained the bike but then I bought my Bullet after selling that bike, so can't complain.

On a different note, when I exchanged my bike at the bullet delearship, I got sale recipt and a delivery note but only recently I realised that the bike is still in my name. I know that it is a long shot but if anyone has or knows of anyone who has bought a Bangalore bike with number ending with 1005, please PM me:).

The quality of the chrome on those guards is also terrible. Like the paint scheme though. Cheers,

Yeah, the chrome is bad. Tough to find good chrome guys these days too. Liked the paint scheme hence clicked pics.

The picture below here is very special as you all can see me and My RX100. The specialty of this picture is that it was shot by Adithya my 4 year old son. The building in the background is my school, I had all my good time out there. Thanks to my Son and RX100 to take me there to remember the wonderful days.

The Yamaha 'RX' Thread (with pics)-yamaha.jpg

Hi Guys, am happy to share my beloved RX100 which was my 18th birthday gift from my parents, its still running on unopened engine and soon will need a rebore as slowly its loosing the compression. Done totally of 47K kms and now with the new speedo. But had to do the cosmetic first as its getting due for fitness.This is the first time in 14yrs am spending some amount and made it back to stock.

Got my bike back after painting and front end conversion...with much difficulty i got the graphics...but the painter goofed up with the stickers on both the side panels. He sticked it the other way round and now am waiting for my friend to send the graphics. Once its there then we will have to get it done again... for the front end we picked the gladiator forks (both inner and outer), calipers, disc rotor, master cylinder, hub.

It also got updated with the new wiring kit, speedometer units, rear mudguard, rear shocks, chain and sprocket set of rolon, handle bar bearing kit, all new cables, and conversion to 12V with 12V new battery.

Thanks & regards

Me cleaning the bike. Killer is the camera man cum director.

And that is my iKON and me in the background in washing video, what were we doing that day? I think CAX was getting a carb job? Sweet ol memories :)
