Waht front and back ends fit for hybrid project

[soccersmyth]

As most of the hybrids i've seen have Rgv 250 M front and back ends (and look sweet) they seem to be at a premium.

I suppose anything could be fitted with a big hammer.

But.

Is there any alternatives that would do.

Aprillia Rs 125 / 250
Yam yzf-r 125

These look good and are lightweight enough.

Any thouhts on this out there ?

what about rg 125 banana swing arm?look very similar to 250 1's but more lightweight.

[soccersmyth]

Been offered an 03 aprillia RS 125 upside fork front end and the matching rear end which has a nice sporty looking polished swingarm on it.

The whole lots coming at a keen price so will probably take a chance on it and modify to fit if necessary.

Saved that site to favourites.

Good prices too.

Thanks for that Butchers.

£225 seems a lot to me all he has to do is weld 2 f**kin brackets on,its like 15 mins work wen u have the brackets?maybe im missing sumthing?does he sell brkts seperate ?or even better does any 1 have a template for bkts?

[lcowner]

cool bucthers,now what about the brackets.if someone post a template up here i could get them made up.another simple way of locating brackets:
1-fit banana arm onto std frame
2-fit brackets(if u had sum,hem hem hem!)to lower end of std. shock
3-bring swingarm up to meet brackets
4-spot weld in place
5-take all off and finish up welding
happy daze

i could prob do the whole lot for €100

a bit too deer for me tho m8......... ;D

[soccersmyth]

Did you look at his other ebay items ?

Did you see the chromed standard LC arm ?

I have one the exact same and would swop it for a standard one in any condition and a few dollars my way if anyones interested.

It's in a 4L0 i took in p/x the other day.

I mot'd it today and will tax it monday.
Judt incase i can line a buyer up for it.

But i'm tempted to keep it and restore it to bog standard.

[lcowner]

post up a piccy in the for sale page m8,whats chrome like?im not really interested ,just have my mind made up on banana arm caus i think they look so modern...that mactemex is nice if i had the readys i would go for it tho aswell.........

[soccersmyth]

This is the standard chromed swingarm in my 350LC.
It'll be replaced with a powdercoated one to match the frame if and when i get the time to restore it.
So it will be listed in the for sale then.
Would £50 along with a standard arm be a good price ?

[lcowner]

soccer i think its a bit much ur looking a standard arm and £50........just my opinion but i think £20 along with a std arm wud be ok.only thinking i what i wud want if i was selling it m8-no offence meant!
