hey all, i had a crash couple of days ago on my rs 50, head on collision with car, im ok just cuts and bruises and luckily my bike isnt to bad apart from cosmetic damage but there are a few mechanical problems, i was just wondering were to find parts for aprilia rs50's, front wheels, gear changers, mirrors etc.. would be more useful if it was around west midlands area, any help is appreciated.
cheers, scotty Razz

Couldve aloso bust the swingarm or sterring bearing or whatever took the force of the hit.

You could just respray and cover the scratches on the fairing with stickers.

Hey. Glad you come out pretty much damage free. Thumbs Up

As for parts. Ebay is a great place for things like wing mirrors, plenty of bikes get broken and the parts flogged on there. Even new things get auctioned off at good prices. You could also phone a couple of beakers. RS50's are very common so no doubt the bigger breakers yards will have a nice amount of stock all boxed up. Cheshire Motorcycle Salvage are quite big and you can check the stock online.

For genuine parts, give Speedaway Motorcycles a shout. They stock a lot of Aprilia parts and at pretty decent prices. Used them a few times while I had my old RS125. Will obviously be more expensive than parts from a breakers or ebay but still might be worth a look.

Good look, hope you get her back to scratch. Smile

https://www.speedaway.co.uk/ give them a call.

I would do the work yourself if you can or buy the parts from them and get another garage to do the work if you can't.

There's always ebay too.

Good luck

Edit - Beaten to it. Shocked
