Not sure what year your E46 is but mine was 2004.5 model and the CSL SMG software came with M mode for the traction control which was excellent and much less intrusive than standard traction control

You killed it amico! Beautiful

Enjoy Assen, been twice. Watch your security there though, keep your bike locked with a lock through the back wheel and keep your valuables in the bottom of your sleeping bag if you're camping. I had my phone and wallet nicked from inside my tent while I was asleep and I've heard of bikes being nicked and revved til they blow in the past. It's still a great trip though.

Think i would of gone black top yoke with white lettering.

Thanks mate, this is very inspiring video to rebuild mine

seen a 60k KM M3 e92 for 60k... 2013

Retrobright the windscreen. Its not a product its a process. There are videos that explain it better than I can but basically its soaking it in hydrogen peroxide while using UV lights. It removes all the yellowing and you wont risk melting or burning by trying to machine polish it back to clear after sanding.

i dont get it. you restore road bike to race only bike ? I am a little disappointed to tell the truth. The fairings can be seen to be of poor quality.

I had the RGV250 .. but they were all from the same 2 stroke stable.

Great video, thanks for the update and maybe see you at Assen!👍

Great video mate, awsome work. 👍👍🤘🤘

Finish is perfect on fork top bracket 👏🏻, the lines are gorgeous on the grp. Can't wait to hear that engine. 👍🏻🇮🇪

Love your videos mate. Always look forward to an update

Pleased to report the NEXX product placement is going well…😂

Top yoke looks great with the Aprilia logo in black.👍 You've made a lot of progress this episode.

You forgot to give my channel a shoutout 😂!! I’m going to be uploading my restoration videos later this week. Just finishing up the pick up video so please do give it a watch mate. I’m sure you will love what iv got lined up.

Yes the triple should be aluminium like you did, IMO, as it was on my 1995 RS Extrema… looks excellent to me. Glad you didn’t go black on the triple.

Well done pal great job 👏 rs125 was the bike to have when i was 20, that and the cagiva mito

Yokes are spot on,especially with the blue fork cap bolts👍

on the screen use t-cut and the toothpaste to restore.

Lift with a platform is very useful ,you could have used to hoist rear end if frame to raise for engine removal and installation. great for heavy lifting of any sort I use them almost daily

Bikes of Rye is only good for the comedy , he is dangerous to himself and anyone who rides the bikes he has DONE. Does not know anything about bikes or tools and how to use them!

Hello you going to paint inside. Black are going to leave it white on outside. I think it look better if it painted

when the swingarm is ALU you can just weld a nut onto the broken stud, ive done that plenty of times on wheels and frames :)

T cut or similar polish should bring up your screen andalotof elbow grease

PTR count 37! seriously though it's coming together and looking nice.

G'day James , I was in Assen 2006 back then it was a Saturday race, but It was the time of my life, working in Germany ,driving up to Holland, and seeing the late Nikki Hayden winning and of course Lorenzo on the 2 stroke 250 ....just mint. Have a blast mate.

Looking good.

Works a treat like most decent detailing products.

You really getting through this build now mate and the screen you thought about giving it a light tint with some tint spray so takes your eyes away from the fading maybe a light tint enough to get rid of the fading colour but keep up the hardwork mate you doing great and with having a life and working i know you can struggle fitting everything in

Looks great! As a former PSV fitter we didn't use easy outs' often but choose to drill and tap as the better method! as easy outs more often broke and created more problems! If you respray the fairing / seat couling simple silver black with your new c/helmet logos

Ooh, youtube recommends! Damn. Already follow them all 😆

Top Yoke looks Great tbh Its coming together very nicely..

Huge progress! Really coming together nicely. Very jealous of the Assen trip too. Have fun! 👍

Coming along nicely!! 😎

Man , I am waiting for the first ride and wanna see your excitement after all this time with this bike 😁. Cheers for the hard work mate, in this episode looked harsh with these body frames!

Bikes looking great I have been waiting for this video I was so excited when I got the notification I was just thinking you should make some merch I would 100 percent buy some 🤟

I’ll be at Assen as well so will keep a look out in case I spot you in the ~100k crowd! 😂

Hi, I love watching your video's. We're going to TT Assen as well on sunday and we'd love to say hi. Maybe we'll see you there!

Is that a flip plate or is that just where your plate is on the r1?

well that me not watching thought was going to road bikee

Looking 99% better now just the paint to make it 100%. Look forward to the finish result

Wow looks great 😊 great work

Aprilia is definitely known for just not selling replacement parts. Even the really obvious stuff is just not available anymore as soon as a bike is out of production. Even seals, and rubbers (and chain guides) and all that stuff. Absolutely baffling, and frustrating. I'll be at Assen the whole weekend btw. I live about 30 km from the circuit, so it's yearly for me!

Like the top yoke

I like the top yoke looks mint 😁👍

Hi, enjoying your restorations, especially the attention to detail, may I suggest trying megulers headlamp restoration kit for headlights on the screen ?

Great vid Respect

Get a white marker pen for when you’ve talked all the nuts and bolts up so you can see if anything is loose

Bikes looking great, unlike the crocs in a workshop 😮😂
