Project looks great, forks have cleaned up very well. The Nikon exhaust looks good too.
Will keep an eye on the thread. AR50/80's are great bikes and are growing in collectors appeal. If you're making up a second bike, with tuned motor, there is masses of tuning parts available. Have heard of a tuned AR93 making 93mph and nearly 20bhp

A 50, with an 80 kit, out performing a 125?
Did you weigh 9 stone?
Clean project, looks shiney. ____________________ Roger wrote: Women don't get damp for clingy puppies. Get some better happy pills, hit the gym & buy a medallion the size of a dinner plate. Job done |

Looks mint!
Regarding the end can, I have this sat in my garage.
Needs a good polish, looks like the can would unbolt, and could probably re-dill your end plate to suit the PCD on the Gianelli can.
It came from a 125 by the way. So should be big enough?
