The Dionysus Project (Aprilia ETX 125 Rotax 122)
-
Managed to source OEM indicators/mirrors (although not my taste personally).
A fair chunk of change was dropped on renewing brand new OEM NOS throttle, clutch, choke, Odometer cables.
I also decided to paint the mild steel arrow pipe. Just make it look like a factory pipe and nothing fancy.
I must have bought this pipe brand new 3 years ago and it's been in storage since and even then it's rusting....
It's no TYGA pipe for sure!
Buzzing to get this bike complete though.

YAY! What has been, three long years and the bike is finally on its own two wheels again.
Trip down to the powdercoaters to pick up the suspension spring as it just didn't feel right to put the crusty one on there.
I had it repainted the OEM colour for this bike, but fitted the RX/MX/SX shock absorber. It was refurbished to the best of my abilities.
Sadly the bike isn't concourse and never will be.
But it's starting to come together nicely now!
And at least I can move it around the garage out the way of the other bikes finally!
