Hey! I have just placed a deposit on a 2008 RSV1000r and I'm looking at upgrading the levers. I have had a browse at some other threads on this, ASV's seem to come out on top? Can you guys recommend a seller in UK that is reasonable on price? Also the size, I love the look of the short levers...

I've decided to bite the bullet and refit OEM pipes to my 2008 T. I'm doing it because I can't be having the hassle of noise tests at track days. Also, I need to get the power commander remapped and I've been told that I'll get better performance out of it with OEM pipes on rather than my...

Checked the other day and my front sproclet is a 17. So I`v decided to throw a 16 on. I know some people have suggested 15, but that will gear it for 163 and make 2nd just abit slower topped out than I like. I think for now 16 will work well and i`ll play around with it abit more next season...

I just bought a pair of R&G sliders for my 07rsv. They look like very nice quality pieces. What I dont like is that I realized I an going to have to cut a somewhat oval shape hole. I was thinking it was going to be a perfect circle and with a drill and a circle/hole bit would have made a perfect...

Hi everyone, I'm on the verge of buying a 2005 RSV 1000R. I know that these Aprilias have one or two minor issues, i.e. starter solenoid, battery, etc, I have no real problem with any of them, in fact I think that little "foibles" like these give a bike some character. What I would like help...
