  1. Funnily enough used to know someone who rode whilst smoking cigars, mind it was a bmw gs thing so not fast enough to prematurely burn through a cigar.

  2. If I was riding a Harley I’d be smoking and drinking at the same time :joy:
     
  3. Again, thanks for the heads up. This is getting expensive, and I haven't bought the pipe yet! :D The Hugger, mudguard and Optimate arrived today, as I browse casually for tank protection. :)
     
  4. You might need some nylon washers to act as spacers between the mounting bolt holes and carbon to get the fit absolutely perfect. Enjoy.
     
  5. The RSR carbon that arrived has a few nylon washers for the rear hugger, but nothing for the front mudguard. I guess that means it will fit perfectly. :thinkingface:
     
  6. I did have to space mine out a mil or two.
     
  7. Fitted really well both the hugger and mudguard. Just the sticker on the from mudguard to do

    think I’m going to go for Aprilia Racing over #be a racer. Mainly because it’s says Aprilia racing everywhere else on the bike. The original mudguard comes with #be a racer on it…

  8. How does those covers work? Do they fit over the standard seat? How are they secured?
     
  9. Take it to Griff at AP Performance at Tamworth. What he doesn't know about Aprilias isn't worth knowing.
    He was once a very senior tech at Aprilia UK i believe.

  10. I went over the original seat so to stop the seat sponge getting and staying wet, Its the stapled underneath, I cant take the glory for doing mine as I used the trimmer who does our camper seats to fit it!
     
  11. There has been a development.... watch this space....
     
  12. Am I allowed to stop watching it during the night?

  13. :D For those interested I was just keeping the suspense alive.

    All will be revealed next week hopefully, it was supposed to be yesterday but you just can’t seem to rely on some people nowadays which is such a shame…anyway…

  17. Okaayy,…So you swapped one perfectly good Tuono, for another perfectly good Tuono,….Why??.. I must be a bit slow today cos I’m not sure I’m following this :thinkingface:

    Quite fancied a Tuono for a while now, I’d have been happy with the first one??
