Aprilia Tuareg 125 rally project.

[Mad Hatter]

Well I've been half looking for another small bike for a project for a while, this popped up on the forum on Sunday, now after being told by the Mrs to buy it its in my garage :woohoo:

I promised Suddyktm, aka Dean, I'd get some pictures on here of it so here we go boys and girls another project begins (thumbs)

So that's the bike, two full sets of plastics, including the tanks, and about an engine and a half spare, this is going to be fun :woohoo:

It'll be fun watching this come together. Good luck.

[Brenhden]

Good luck and keep us posted

[Mad Hatter]

Well I'm working nights atm so it may take some time, I've also got a list of parts I need to get my hands on

[Diesel Pete]

Looking forward to keeping up with this one especially the build videos.... no pressure :whistle:

[suddyktm]

What's missing dude? .. it should be 98% all there.

[Mad Hatter]

Not too much mate just a few little parts that might be a pain to get hold of, fittings for oil feeds on the oil pump, body for the power valve, side cover for the airbox along with filter and manifold (that is a pain to get hold of) and the cap for the radiator. There's a few other bits like the clutch cable, chain, and oil and fuel lines but they're straight forward and id replace those anyway probably.

The dommie looks horrified to find another bike in its garage....

[Mad Hatter]

Well I've not done much on her, waited until the sort bike show at Telford to grab fuel and oil lines. Had to get a new carb manifold because the old one wad a nit cracked and the wring one, and grabbed a ram air filter to use for now until I can track down an air box, also need to figure out what I'm going to do about the power valve as an electric setup os going to set me back the best part of 200 quid :pinch:

But here's a carb :laugh:

I did also free the rear brake lever off so the rear brake is working, and get the front caliper off to clean up, and found a spare bit of chain I can use. I've got a clutch cable being delivered hopefully Thursday and pinching some rad hoses off a friend so hopefully they'll be the right size for the one in missing. Main thing now is the power valve and figuring out what I'm doing with that.

Unfortunately this has been sat in the garage a bit neglected thanks to problems with my dommie and funds being a bit low before I go to Ireland, but I got bored at work tonight and turned the mk1 version of the oil feed union for the carb from a brass bolt, its only guess work sizes from bits I can find from the internet atm so there probably will be a mk2 but it gave me something to do for a little while :whistle:

That last picture is a 6mm roll up filter for scale, glad to see I've still got the nack foe turning when I haven't done any small stuff in about 6 years hmy:
