Hi all, I am going down the Aprilla RS125 front end route on my build and wondered what rear wheel options are out there, would an RD wheel fit? Or can I use the Aprilla rear?

Can you send me a pic of the whole set up as I just can't figure it out from this pic

My Aprilla front end has arrived but there are no steering stops on the lower tree?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/131281656092 is this what I need?

Ok, the triple tree and forks have arrived, just to double check with you guys, I am changing the bottom bearing in the frame neck to a tapered one? Is that correct? Do I need to do a thing else?

Cheers mate! I am picking bits up for the bike as I go along, I started with just a frame so I will use an Aprillia wheel as they are cheap and I don't have others. What do I need to look for when searching the for the stem bearings? Are they tapered?

Thanks, what years should I be looking for? I have got mk1 parts so far?

I just got set of triple trees for the RS FOR TEN QUID ON EBAY, is it the bottom bearing in the frame neck that needs changing? I just need to get my brat seat hoop welded in now, I did try it myself with my Aldi arc welder, never welded before, I burnt straight through the end of the hoop lol!

Cheers, I got a set of RS125's that need a little attention for less than 20 quid so that's brill, the blog is good mate.

Cheers mate that's great, I a totally novice so any help would be great. Is the RS an Aprillia?

Hi mate, that sounds good, my problem is I don't know what fits what so that's great advice thank you. I am customising and going the brat style, vintage look. I am Burscough by Parbold and Ormskirk.

Not got very far but made a start. I am doing a brat style, I have made the seat from a skateboard deck and chopped the back end, I got a gas tank shipped in from the USA and have took it back to bare metal as I am gong for that vintage aircraft look.

Hi, I am finding it hard to pick up cheap parts in the uk for my bike so wondered if the forks and wheels from an RD 400 will fit the XS?

I also got some carbs last month so I need a tank next

Great, many thanks mate !
