Can I use '11 Buddy 50 chassis, speedometer in 07 Buddy 125?

My buddy was stolen, stripped, then recovered 2 weeks after I bought it used

I found an ad for most of the missing parts (different color, but oh well, i'll take a Franken-buddy if it gets me back in the saddle), but they are for a 2011 Buddy 50cc instead of my 2007 Buddy 125cc.

Which parts are exclusive to the 125 vs 50, and which are interchangeable?

Please help, I miss riding so much, I've taken to wearing a helmet in the car! Just kidding, they stole that too

I can't say definitively, but most of the front half of the Buddy should be interchangeable between 125 and 50. Certainly all of the body panels would be, and I know the speedo on the 50 goes a lot higher than a 50cc engine is capable of, so I assume it's the same one the 125 uses.

front brakes are different between the buddy 50 and 125/150/170
Also the front forks.

as for the plastics i would like to say they are the same.. the spedo is different because it has the Oil light on it not sure if it will work on a 125. " you do not use/ want the light might just be a extra pin on the spedo.
