Both look great to me and as it's YOUR bike,do it how you would like it.
The RH looks tops!
A pair of white and yellow guards and side covers and an extra fuel tank and you will have the best of both worlds.
Putting it back to stock would take bugger all work.

and from a resale point of view won't original always win out over replica.

I see your point but in this case the modified bike pops. I mean stock is not always good in VMX where the special bikes generally command the special dollars..... Wheelsmith Maicos, Mugen Hondas, Foxy CRs, CCMs Rickmans, there are a few like real RHs where you can't improve on what the factory gave you, but for the rest modified with the 'right' bits is good.

Wouldn't it be a RA replica seeing as it's a 125?

    Yeah youre probably right ! but as the first post referred to it as a RH lookalike i think everyone followed suit ,i personally dont remember any RA 's  before Gaston's  RA  running around ( maybe europe ?), definatly not in aus ?? , just souped up TM's one of which i also ran  - pre rm  :)
