A few months back I saw an old shape RSV on Ebay with a custom front fairing/nosecone.
It was much more pointed and angular, with 2 stacked headlights.
I thought it improved the look of the bike no end, and would probably be much lighter too (ditching heavy orignal headlight)
Anyone seen this...

Guys, I have been looking at my front end and it appears to be out of alignment. This I checked by putting a straight peice of pipe through the front axil making sure it is sitting true. Then a straight edge on the top of the forks using the centre's as reference points. It appears to have about...
2 pronged question realy,
I have a 99/2000 mille and think the arse end looks awfull. Does an 02 rear body fit? From what I can see they are very similar. Has anyone done this or looked at it? I'm hoping that rear seat unit, lights and seat/cowev will fit without toomuch bother...

I just purchased a beautiful 2007 Tuono and it came with some parts I will not be using. The CRG's are in excellent condition. No damage of any kind. There is a left and right. I think they were on the bike for 2 weeks and then boxed up. I will attach pics so you can see. They also come with the...

For sale is the can which also comes with the link pipe, fittings and baffle for MOT time. It's in good condition, probably do with a clean.

What is this? Another RSVzone raffle!!?!
Yes, yes it is. In order to celebrate winter, snowflakes, v-twins, and another day of Italian hotness, we're raffling an EVO airbox kit for one lucky RSVzone member.
Our very own Griff (fusebox) has been kind enough to sponsor this raffle with his...
Hi,
I'm gonna strip the bike down today and have a look at my head bearings.
I have a rear paddock stand and a front headstock stand, but obviously to strip the front end it needs to be supported some other way.
What do you guys use to support the front?
Car jack on the engine block/exhaust...
Well my foray in into V-Twins and Aprilia RSV V-Twins in particular has lasted a whole 2 months.
Having bought what I thought was an RSV-R only to find it was a Frankenstein (which I was okay with eventually) I now find that having let it stand for a week or so it wont start and in the process...
I had a great weekend a few days ago...I spent it doing a back-to-back track day at BeaveRun near Pittsburgh to celebrate my birthday.
It was cold as balls (slept in the car...bad idea), there was hardly anyone there, but I ran some of my best times, and got bumped into the advanced group...
