Hi all
I have just bought a 1989 aprilia af1 german import , it needs an engine , front falks and wheel and the front fairing with bubble and clocks.

Everything else is in tact, tank . wireing loom , air filter , rear wheel with single sided swinging arm Smile

fairngs *etc etc*

It was a right bargain for 50 quid i couldnt say no

Ill upload some pics later Smile

Hi

Which model of AF1 is it? 3 spoke 16" wheels, 7 spoke / 9 spoke 17" wheels or 5 spoke 17" wheels (probably the 7 spoke / 9 spoke wheels, in which case Aprilia Sintesi).

If it is a Sintesi then does it have the earlier clocks with a fuel gauge or the later ones which had a large rev counter?

The swinging arm weighs a ton.

All the best

Keith

I'll be busy on eBay finding you some "falks" in that case...

AF1's a nice little 50.

Hi

Fuel gauge so it is a 1988 model. Larger headlights on these and a pneumatic power valve rather than the electronic power valve fitted the the later ones.

Might have some spares if you need them. Keep buying stuff on Ebay when I find it.

All the best
