I had a minor spill on my 2003 RSVR a while back. Now I have been putting of repairing it due to the cost of Aprilia spares.... The nose cone alone is around £500!! Even a full set of decals from Aprilia is £170!! Now I have seen a used nose cone on ebay form a 2001 RSVR, now as far as I'm aware the only cosmetic differences between the 01 an 03 model is the tail unit and the paint finish, could someone confirm this for me, would the nose cone fit on my 03 RSVR?

My plan is to buy the used nose cone from ebay for sub £200 and get it sprayed to the same glossy finish that you get on the 03 model, I was thinking this should be cheaper then buying the unit from Aprilia for £500!  

On another note, I love my RSV but will not be getting another Aprilia due to the high cost of spares.... I could have bought a whole set of fairings for my Ninja for the cost of one panel on the Aprilia!

Thanks

James

Nose cone is the same as you so rightly say.
Il rombo di un gemello, un cursore sfregamento su asfalto, un estati calde giorno - io sono in cielo?
