my bike: new old stock parts

 I have started to collect up some parts for my AF1 rebuild.

Firstly a replacement coolent reservoir tank as the original had a hole in it, see here . My top tip is to search for an item like this via the part number, some Aprilia parts are used on multiple bikes and as such the prices vary depending on the rarity of the bike, rather than the part. I have seen this part on ebay from £6.99 to around £45...

Next I have manged to collect up some new bodywork over the past few months for when I do the final cosmetic push. I will need a decal kit for the fairing but also for the tank and seat unit if I end up painting there.
