70cc Aerox Project (lots of pics)

Hi, I bought my Aerox in summer just after my 16th birthday and approximately a month ago the engine seized.
While it has been off the road I have been doing small jobs on it like polishing the forks and customizing some of the panels.

First I did the front panel

This past couple of days I have been working on the rear panels doing the good old front panel in the back Aerox trick

I'll be sanding and filling that tomoro. I have an idea for a flush light and indicators.

Got myself an early xmas present through the post today, my Polini Sport 70s kit.

The engine spec will be:
Polini variator kit
Polini reed valve
Polini touque + clutch springs
21mm carb
full circle crank
Polini sport kit
Polini evo exhaust

I will hopefully be doing a renthal bar conversion after christmas but I will be making a fiberglass case for the original speedo.

Updates should be quite regular.

Thanks for reading, Robbie

Done some more work on the back end tonight.

mate, if your gonna spend £££ on that setup replace the polini sport with a polini evo, leave the rest, be so much more worth it, and an evo pipe on a sport is a tad overkill but yea panels look gd m8

no point in having a ped that looks nice but dosent go anywhere and ttrust me, you will get bored of the polini sport after about a fortnight.

evo on the other hand......

looking sweet :banana:

decs right mate, i ran the sport on my rox and its good for the first few days but you soon want more, go the evoooooooo

i'v already got all the engine parts, it was you that told me to get the polini sport dec arc: Its an everyday runner so i want reliability more than power. Not to bothered about top end but just want a bit of low down punch. The evo exhaust came on the bike so may aswel use it. Although I do have a doppler S3R aswel.

yer i tol;d you to get it because i didnt realise you were going all out with the res tmate

the panels look really good mate...
i'm definately keeping an eye...might give me some idea's for mine!

ahh right lol, im not to fussed. I'm sending the frame and engine off to a shop to have a new crank fitted and to have the polini kit fitted and set up soon.

In the meantime i'll be working on my panels.

I might be able to get hold of some TVR flip paint for it. unk:

As you might know, I'm a fan of flip paint, was on my old runner, got some spare down the shed. Not cheap though! I'm not sure if the paint I had is being made anymore, but TVR flip paint I believe has less colours in?
