Using some more aprilia RS125 parts I was able
to set up the gear change linkage.

Heavy Corrosion
Here is the second batch of images before the clothes are stripped.
There is a lot of corrosion to all the metals and some general observations below.
1.] the chain and sprockets need to be replaced, I was going to clean the chain in Kerosene but its too far gone.
2.] the rear shock is leaking and heavily corroded.
3.] the l/h gearchange and footpeg hanger seems to have been bent.
4.] the brake discs dont seem to be too bad, although the brake surfaces are rusted they are not
heavily worn
5.] the brake hoses seem good but we would be looking at changing them for braided lines.
6.] almost every nut and bolt while originally being galvanized or coated in some way have been attacked by rust to the plan is to replace them all with stainless steel.
