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 !

Thanks mate

I can't find the similar threads list sorry, anyone got an approx idea? I have googled it and it gives the bikes wet weight as 400lb so wouldn't be fair to say the engine is about 300lb?

Hi guys, I have won an engine on eBay and to get it shipped I need to know what the weight is, does anyone know. What an xs400 engine weights?

All done, thanks guys!

Well I couldn't get any progress with my tin snips, I think they are cheap sh1t ones so I carefully cut it with the grinder then heated up the metal and bent and pulled the sh1t out of it until it came away from the shock, so one down one to go, cheers guys!
