The Helios Project (Aprilia RS 125 Rotax 122 Biaggi Race Replica)

@ninja I've got some awesome plans for this.

Ducati 996...and I shall say no more

Also been digging through Aprilia's Grand Prix catalogue for this bike. Ordered a piece to merely test the water. I don't believe you can actually get their Sports Production gear for these bikes anymore, hopefully I am proven wrong.

@calum That sounds expensive, but for 'uniqueness' it would surely add extra to the build for-sure.

[Calum]

@ninja The SP parts are expensive, the ducati parts, well it's more custom that expensive. It was something fitted to most ducatis and parts can be found cheap. But I won't know until I investigate further. Needless to say, it's a pretty sweet way to upgrade these bikes.

Find a better hosting site Asap bud,

Cant see a ting.

[Calum]

@darty Once I finish the project I shall reupload and reformat this project to somewhere else. It's a shame, you would have thought Google would have been nice and simple.

Another few hundred quids worth of parts arrived today.

Like I know it doesn't look like much, but the achiles heels on these engines are the balancer cogs. Now mine do look like in good nick, but I wouldn't risk it. So new cogs were ordered.

The engine is pretty much built and ready to drop into the chassis. All but the clutch since they're out of stock everywhere I look.

Engine is pretty much built, although I forgot to order a crankshaft seal so I've turned my attention to the other side of the engine whilst I await the new seal.

I reordered the rest of the bolts for the engine Total overkill but I dunno, kinda feels worth it.

It certainly doesn't at the minute... :face_with_tears_of_joy:

[Calum]

@mightyman I literally do not understand how Google could get something so wrong. It's not rocket science!

[Calum]

For you perverts out there, the chassis is now rolling!

I was going to drop the engine in, but a friend needed my Jack, and I kinda wanna build that separately. Will make maneuvering the bike a little easier as well.

[NINJA]

@calum If you fitted a crank, some pedals and a chain, then you would be ready for a ride!!! :smiling_face_with_open_mouth_smiling_eyes:

Looks mint tho bud - top job indeed. :thumbs_up_light_skin_tone:

[Calum]

@ninja My mate offered to give me a quick push up the road to test it out, I gracefully declined, despite the tempting offer...
