Thought you might like to share a couple of pics of my latest project, the ‘Amazing Ace’ 125. Have owned it just over 6 months and have performed many mods in that time whilst sticking to a very realistic budget of around $600 all up. The bike was bought ‘in a box’ from the distributor in Western Australia for $1820 landed in Hobart, Tasmania. Fours hours or so to put it together with the help of a friend. Here’s a list of what’s been done:
-
Engine hot up kit (jets, CDI etc.) from OO Racing UK
-
Sports muffler and exhaust ‘bandage’ and removal of cat converter
-
Headlight shield from Vespa
-
Halogen headlight bulb
-
NGK spark plug
-
Gas rear shock absorbers from OO Racing UK
-
Aftermarket hand grips
-
Bar end mirrors
-
Tacho (and thermometer)!
-
Removal of reflectors and headlight bracketing etc.
-
Leather strap for tank to replace rubber
-
Aftermarket foot pegs
-
Aftermarket clear lens indicators
-
Aftermarket horn
-
Aftermarket tail light
-
Removal of side stand lug so stand now folds up neatly
-
Removal of side stand ignition by-pass switch
-
Modified/ trimmed fuel valve (more k’s before going to reserve)
-
Custom-made stickers
-
Chrome lettering
-
‘Nitrous’ bottle (all for show – no go)!
-
Lots of chrome vinyl, chrome trim and carbon fibre vinyl!
