    Probably worth mentioning, as you can see in the background of this photo, I have managed to acquire a fully supermoto setup for this machine as well. These come off the Aprilia MX 125. Since I'm running an MX rear end, that should be simple enough to swap out, but the front end shows some challenges. The MX125 front wheel uses a digital speedometer, so swapping out the front end means losing the speedo. Instead, I managed to find a brand new old stock MX front rim, and I've also managed to source an RX125 front hub, so I will look to lace the RX hub onto the MX rim, thus retaining the original speedometer configuration. The rear wheel is in poor condition, the hub has snapped in several places, but I managed to find a brand new old stock MX rear hub, so the plan is to lace both wheels and have an easy to swap out setup for both road and trail riding.
