are you going to keep the mudguard off?
did you get the calipers professionally done? if not you have done a good job on them.
hate to think how much the wavey discs cost! Rolling Eyes

yeah looks nice, it always amazes me how much better a bit of rimtape makes a bike look! Those wavey disks are class aswell, where did you get em?

Personally I think the rim tape makes it look cheap and tacky.

Haven't been that impressed with RS125 brakes on those that I've ridden, so an upgrade would make sense (though is that actually a better caliper, or the same model painted gold?)

I've never liked the rs125's caliper for some reason, looks alot better gold though. Thumbs Up

Looks good! Cool

You could of scrubbed up the brake disk bolts with a wire brush though. They are all corroded!

im trying to get some gold titanium bolts to hold the front disc on Thumbs Up

That isn't the calliper that was one, i bought a brand new genuine aprilia one in gold.

The rim tape does look abit tacky in that pic, i think thats just because the pic as taken so close, looks alot better in person.

Heres another pic;

Oh and I know there's no rim tape on the rear wheel, it wasnt do when the pic was taken.

You can see the JL twin and Stainless Steel down chamber aswell Thumbs Up
