2009 aprilia rs 125 rebuild


Hey everyone, this my first post on this subreddit so sorry for any mistakes i make.So the start of the year me and my father got a project bike to repair that i will use in 2020 as a learner bike (South Africa limits you to 125cc but there are no power restrictions we are aware of). We started working on it in early 2019 around January/February. throughout the year we were cleaning parts respraying fairings and replacing parts like the piston, clutch and starter motor.​i will upload photos of how the rebuild went.And with the fairings, the red looked bad so we opted for white and wanted it too look semi stock with a few of our own design choices like the white stripe between the red an black​in the after picture one of the forks were broken so it dropped really low, we realized it later and its fixed now.​​Edit: respraying the fairings took a few tries, paint shrinkage was a big problem but we got it sorted. It is a two stroke.edit 2: so i see posting images doesent work as i thought ill upload them to imgur and post here​before accident: https://imgur.com/a/LnpyDwZafter accident: https://imgur.com/a/4M9xSJjcleaning parts: https://imgur.com/a/nJeaHE1reassembling: https://imgur.com/a/0S2j69Xafter: https://imgur.com/a/VrZLUJ7​let me know what you think via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/eeh58b/2009_aprilia_rs_125_rebuild/?utm_source=ifttt
