Hi All,
 
 After buying a V4 tuono my gen1 RSVR has been sitting idle and forgotten about in the corner of my garage. The V4 riding position is so much easier on my body. What parts do I need to convert the Mille to a Tuono?
 
Thanks.

I also have a V4T after owning a Gen 1 Mille for almost 14 years.
A Tuono conversion of the Gen 1 is relatively easy. In its simplest form you just put on a riser kit and longer lines and cut down the faring. To do it properly you need Riser Bars/cables.new nose faring/strengthened front sub frame, Plastics to cover the coils/various small bits and pieces to hang the indicators off. Very do-able but, at the end of the day you will be faced with a choice of riding the v twin or the V4.
The V4 will win out every time.

After buying my Tuono my poor immaculate 52 plate 955i speed triple didn’t get out much at all so sadly sold it , “ Its a hard choice “ but I think made the correct choice???

Thanks For the reply Sabre. Problem is I’m putting too many miles on the v4 and I’m concerned about its resale value as people seem to have an aversion to bikes with tens of thousands of miles. It’s also nice to have a change now and again. I would want to do it properly and don’t want to start hacking the fairings. How much should I budget for the conversion?

Bars and Risers are easy to find. The plastics, however are like rocking horse sh*te. This is where you will struggle. I think you can get aftermarket parts (carbon) but they are pricey.

I had my front subframe welded with a support brace as per the original Tuono. As there is no supporting bodywork as per the RSV the nose faring needs additional support on the subframe. Without this bracing you run the risk of it snapping, which has happened.


If it where me doing it again, I would sell it and buy a gen 1 Tuono.

Also, the early headlights does not fit the Gen 1 Tuono nose faring. Ask me how I know.AngryLOLLOLLOL
