Hey guys this is Anslem Fernandes from Mumbai. Sailor by profession but experimental modifier by passion :). I read read and read a lot about all the Xbhp forums.Finally I think I can contribute my 2 paise if its worth. I must say the information is really worth a lot of time saving on trying things yourself and buggering up your own bike.
13 years into biking, I have collected a fleet of bikes like a Yezdi,Lamby,RX100 1st model, Luna and an M80,Passion pro and a 50 CC Pocket bike. Most of them were barn finds. Owing to parking issues some are even parked inside a flat :).But the love never stops, planning to buy a stock RD and a street triple(yeah! its high time to upgrade) by the end of this year.
I love doing body mods to bikes especially classics old skool babies.My shot to fame was at India bike week 2015 where my hand built Kinetic Luna aka "Luna-tic" was among the few bikes selected for the mod bike contest. I even modified my Bajaj M-80.The links as attached. Planning on building another one for India bike week 2016.I don't do it to win as this is just a hobby.I got a steady job to support me,Bike mods is not a business.

Sorry guys I am not much of a stock bike enthusiast .I like to bring back these old beauties back on the road with a twist. Although my stock 1986 RX100 will be the same.She is such a beauty the way she is. Surprisingly my wife gifted it to me as a birthday gift this February:).
Thank you guys for all the information posted on the forums and threads.It helped me a lot to learn about my RX100 which I didn't have a clue till recently.Now I think I can take it apart myself.
Happy Riding
