Thanks, but I'm not going to end up using this bodywork. I bought the Tyga RSW front and side fairings that I plan on custom painting in Cabin Racing Scheme. I also bought another set of aftermarket MC21 fairings that I had painted in Cabin Racing Scheme with some racing decals on them (pics attached) that I plan on using for track days and maybe run it on the street when I plan on changing it up.

Great write up...........Love it.
Can you tell me how the previous owner got hold of the brand new Cabin scheme fairing and tank (Are they genuine Honda ?)
Cheers.
Yes they are genuine Honda. It's probably what Andy and racer38 said. I'm pretty sure the guy I bought the bike from knows guys on this forum, so this is probably how he got it.

I do have and am going to run the MC28 tank, that is what is mocked up in the photos. I"m contemplating on buying the Tyga GP rear seat cowling instead of doing the MC28 seat cowling, i just can't decide .

Those bikes are actually a buddy of mines. That bike is a 2009 Aprilia RS125 that was CA plated. I only rode it once very briefly. It felt really good, but I never really got a chance to push on it. I think it makes something like 33hp, and felt pretty good up high, but it had absolutely NOTHING down low. It's probably pretty fun as a track toy, but not too fun to ride on the streets.
The guy I bought the bike from dropped off my radiator this morning, and while I was away in Las Vegas, my neighbor gave me a little Christmas present and installed it for me . I plan on getting her fired up by tomorrow . I also got some pictures sent to me of what my new custom set of MC21 Cabin Racing bodywork looks like, i'm pretty happy on how they came out.
