I ran into a bit of a problem. I want to drop Aprilia RS125 forks. I dry fitted them, bearings fit and the wheel will. i got the bearings and will be machining spacers for it. My problem was the headlight. i dont want to buy sketchy ebay brackets, so the other option is the way. mounting it from...

I ran into a bit of a problem. I want to drop Aprilia RS125 forks. i dry fitted them, bearing fit. My problem was the headlight. i dont want to buy sketchy ebay brackets, so the other option is the way. mounting it from the bottom. I am struggling in finding a headlight under 100 Euros. It...

The upholstery was too difficult, i asked a place that upholsters car seats for a price. Looking forward to that. I moved the electronics tray in the meantime further up. That way i could fit the air filters with the connectors i got. No 3D printed connectors, much better. Time to pull out the...

I think the seat is too big of a challenge. Considering how much work i put on this bike i dont want to out a sack on it. Ill probably go to a store that can upholster the seat for me. I was also wondering about air filter alternatives? With the electronics tray I used I cannot install the...

Today i went for a motogymkhana with the Cub it was funny scraping the leg shield on the turns :D

Heloooo. After a long time of exams and paper work i continue with the bike. FInushed the seat latch mechanism. Now doing a bondo over the cowl and shaping it. I also got a course to use a industrial sewing machine, so i can sew the leather apholstery of the seat. if it fails i will send it to...

The fiberglass cowl i made is a good shape i think, but it doesnt cover the black hoop, or the frame. I assume it will not be so obvious once it is painted, now it is bare metal so it shines. Any opinions on that, i was thinking maybe i should make yet another cowl to cover the sides. Or jsut...

Finally got some pictures from my camera. One with the old forks. I will change the colour of the bike to red,white,black, but for now it looks like the following.

Also ordered a brake disc and a calliper. I will be looking for a 12mm master cylinder I think. First I want to try with 11mm one we have on the XS. The ratio between 12mm master and 4 piston rs125 calliper is 25.00 i think. That is in the sweet range of 27-23. I am expecting the delivery of...

Update us om how it goes gpounce32768

Tried the forks yesterday. I didnt change anything they seemed to fit. How can I make aure the bearings contact all along their contact surface? The triple feels smooth and has no move when i assemble it. I assume it fits. Ill machine spacers for the front wheel. And I dont know how to work...

The foam is cut to shape. The leather work needs to be done now. I have exams so the bike will be left to utself for about 1 month. I did the thing, got RS125 forks :D. They arrived yesterday and are really impressive, especially after the 30mm forks we have on the XS400. I bought and axle...

Ooh the legend drewpy. Aaaah you are right hahaha. The foam mold for the cowl The bike under fiberglass, the seat pan is drying Fixing the cracked light housing quickly with leftover fiberglass New extended back without the supports welded. This was somewhat difficult. The bavk was cut too...

The seat is dry and I shaped it. I did a bad job on the tank side. But i will ignore it and let tge foam cover it. I have been shaping foam from the original bike. Its been really vauge because it is flexible. Here are some pictures from the process.

The rubber connectors were too short. I will extend it a little bit with a 3rd printer adapter. I also need to pull them down because of my electronics tray
