Cheers Jon, they are Aprilia RS125 wheels with the front machined for a second disc and the rear flipped as the sprocket is usually on the right side.  |

Yes wheels look great on the black LC
If I remember I know they took a lot of fiddling to fit ?

We had to take quite a bit off the sprocket carrier to align the chain run, custom sleeves and spacers as the Aprilia runs 20mm id bearings and my spindles are 15mm rear and 17mm front. Also converted to electronic speedo as they don't have a speedo drive and that's just the bits I can remember! |

What jetting do you have on both bikes ?

Thanks guys! Not sure what jetting Wez has on the candy blue. On mine, I just went up on the mains. Pretty sure it has 150's in it (standard 135) but it's been ages since I had the carbs apart! It runs very safe, never had an issue and it's done a lot of hard miles like this.

Yeah I have 152 mains in , so I guess your pilot jets would be standard then as in 40 or 42 ?
Are you premix too Rich ?
Oh yes and what forks and yokes did you use LOL |

Yep, 40:1 premix and pilots are standard think they are 38? 3MA bottom yoke and Fazer 600 top yoke, forks are also Fazer 600. All I did when I fitted the Ramairs was go up on the mains. It could probably do with a bit of a tweak as it drops into a flat spot between 5 and 6k in the higher gears but is great everywhere else.
