STL, what you gonna do with it though mate, good to see you back out of the doldrums and posting again:thumbup
 
**** badger you've put some work into that. A stunning RSV that flies, you lucky fooker :hail

Are they the standard cans then mate or have you modded them too?

All i have done to mine is fit a full akra titanium system which improved the acceleration and more importantly the sound.

Here's mine

Just gonna ride it hard like it should be and admire the work.
 
STL, you are more than welcome to ride the thing if we catch up:thumbup

Crofty, you are pretty handy with a camera mate, those are nice arty pics:thumbup

The system on my bike is a full system made by a company that developed it on Factory race bikes, a company called Smaltmoto from Brno in Czech Rep, the cans themselves are TI the rest is SS, the headers are ceramic coated inside and they are 60mm all the way from the exhaust ports, i like the cans coz they don't have any decals on them plus the TI finish is subtle, it was what i was looking for in the bike to keep it sort of low key and stealth like, i ain't a big lover of loads of decals TBH.

They low down grunt/shove is amazing with this system, one whiff of throttle low down and it lurches forwards with amazing urgency, it makes exiting corners a laugh :doug

If ya wanna have a looky here is the Smaltmoto peoples website

Badger - I'm a bit of a geek when it comes to taking photos of my bikes. I think i have more photos of them then i do of my wife :devious

I hate stickers/decals too but because the akras have the aprilia name on them i decided that was fine. My old man loves to put his ******* "Putoline" stickers on and stuff and it does my nut in :rant

Lets hope i don't pull up alongside you at some traffic lights and you make mine look a 50cc twist and go :nana
 
Badger,

Clean looking bike....at times I wonder if Aprilia made a good choice by discontinuing the v-twin rsv factory line up. I am looking at getting an 07-08 factory in the next year or two....how many miles have you put on her?

Nix2speed
 
A stunning bike indeed mate, and bet those personal extras ya done in the suspension department make the bike a dream for handling. Ya gotta be bloody happy with those Dyno charts ol mate...very impressive :thumbup
 
Crofty, don't think it would make yours look like a twist and go mate:biggrin

Nix2, i think about 8k, i also have a futura as well for trips:thumbup

Aus, aye, i just luv:inlove the way the bike goes and the way it produces its grunt is addictive :biggrin
