Hi everyone,
New to the forum and back on a bike after few years off, I have ridden twins before but not owned so decided to buy a twin for the first time. What great value for money. I will be looking for an aftermarket exhaust and seat cowl soon, anyone selling? any suggestions on mods? steve |

Welcome mate,looks like a cracking bike you've got there.
I'm sure the masses will be along shortly to help you spend money,however in short you need to speak to ED (Forza Racing eprom) and Redratbike (modded collector) then call Griff who owns Aprilia Performance (and this forum) and get the bike set up properly. Oh and probably change the gearing if it hasn't already been done. |

Dang she's purdy, love the gold Ozs and radial front end. Yes they are probably the best value out there.

well its been nearly a week since I got it.
the list to be done is growing: gearing needs to be sorted. clutch cylinder needs upgrading. normal engine mods. spark plugs and valve clearances. quick action throttle. so far done: full suspension service and setup. new carbon Lorraine pads. oil and filter. battery upgrade and optimizer sorted. enjoying ownership and knee down action before winter full strip.

Well its been a busy couple months but managed to get a fair bit done, Gen 2 exhaust fitted and cored which sounds superb although will I be able to use it on long runs we will see. I think it looks so much better and retains aprilia's original touch. Anyway the sub frame is of having a high gloss powder coating and the undetray I have modified to except a tail tidy. Also ordered a few extra goodies plus new decals for fairings. so much to do. This may end up a nut and bolt rebuild.

62.5 mm tubing with wire wool packing for heat displacement as single siders on a twin run so hot. The sound is near to perfect for what I want but to load for track day use. Sounds like a zorstec in many ways.

That's interesting. I was wondering whether the gen 2 pipe was a straight fit. I assume the bend and diameter of the link pipe is spot on then? Or did you need to manipulate them?
Beautiful bike. Same as mine but black. Brilliant isn't it?

Looking sweet as that is chief...i agree with ya on the gen 2 can on it dude, I was gonna look for after market cans for my gen 2 but didnt want to take away from the original look of the bike so cored them an shortened then by 75mm each can...sounded amazing.

Silencer is gen 2 but the link pipe is of a scrap gen 1 that i picked up for a fiver. It did take a little time but most was used up doing the silencer internals. Love the bike, very good mid corner. Still think I need 15t front sprocket and not the 16t I just put on.
