Not mandatory. Current drum is capable of locking the wheels.

@ Mr.Boss
At least change the exhaust pipe. The stock pipe will look odd with Cafe Racer seat and style.

[bharathbigb]

Mr.Boss,Will you be rebuilding the Engine ? Did you source the New Frame ?

[bharathbigb]

Mr.Boss,Any Updates ? Thread dosn't wanna be lost !

Will keep the thread updated once there is any actual update.

[Mr.Boss]

Opened the engine last evening to check the condition.

Engine:
- Running with 2OS piston
- Little shake in the connecting rod
- No major wear & tear
- All oil seals are perfect
- Should do a compression test to decide if I should go for re-boring

Clutch:
- Clutch plate is lifeless (known)
- Primary drive & clutch bell is intact

Magneto:
- Looks stock (no sign of rewinding)

So,It's christmas and I think Many except me forgot this thread ! When are you going to start the Restoration,Sir ?

[RVSB]

Bharath, except you everybody forgot? I will never forget Mr.Boss' Threads esp. His RX threads.
I am always a fan of his restoration jobs and even though there are many restorations done at other forums by other members, Mr.Boss' Restorations have conquered a special place in my heart and brain. His restorations are always top notch. He wants everything to be "100% Perfect" and not doing things yeno thano. Everytime I see his restored bike(s), it looks like it has rolled out of the factory/showroom fresh.

@Mr.Boss
So, Christmas holidays began! I got prepared to excite by seeing your restoration. Will have your restoration thread as my Christmas gift!!!!!

+100 Bro.Same here.It's very hard to find a Mechanic who does Restorations Top Class in Chennai atlease in my Locality.I don't know about Pudupet.

[Mr.Boss]

@Bharath & RVSB: Glad to see your eagerness.
As of now I'm enjoying the winter vacation at my hometown with some travel plans as well.

This bike modification will be mostly DIY, so waiting for the end of this fiscal year so that I can have enough time to spend with it.

[RVSB]

DIY?
I assume you have the required materials/tools to do modifications.
For Cafe' Racer, you may try HH Splendor Classic's RVMs and RE Continental GT's Tank and Seats (or a replica of Continental GT's Tank and seats). I don't think there are people who make replica. I am referring replica like Doc's Supra Power-up's tail section that he made in steel which is originally fiber plastic.

I don't want to make a 'wanna be' GT.

Fact is you didn't came across one / your effort in searching one is insufficient

[bharathbigb]

Sir,I really need to learn something from you.I have an Image of an RX Cafe' Racer which I took from Internet.Will this Image look like what you will be Doing ? (Im at a loss for Better words fro my Horrible English! I am sorry)

[RVSB]

I don't think Mr.Boss will do that much huge mods. Just Cafe' Racer style (and maybe a vintage type paint too!).
