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?

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 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.

Well the Rsv got its first ride out ( minus the seat cowl ) very happy with all the work done but plenty more to do next winter. I could write a list of things done but just a quick pic for now. Loving the new gearing though, that's the best mod.[IMG][/IMG]

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?

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.
