I have decided to go with the CNC top yoke conversion, but rest assured I'll be doing the minimum amount of trimming to the fairing....I did spot this photo on the Aprilia forum which very neatly done (and so I will try and follow this)...... :smt001 also at some point would like to replace the fluid pots with these Ducati items

Hiya buddy!

Quite a lot of give on the Falco cables but not sure about them accommodating that degree of raise, I'm guessing Tuono cables would be a good option..

Pretty sure you cant just change those brake pots, needs to be with matched master cylinders.

Someone was selling a pre-fiddled Futura top yoke and bars on eBay not four weeks ago. I'm not sure if they sold or not for the £61 they wanted for them!

Just found some tuono cables at wemoto so will order them, as for the pots I read something on the aprilia forum about them being a match for the falco's M/C they are ducati items either mts or st :smt017 I think they look a lot neater than the oe ones ok lads thanks for the info (I'm probably going to be burned at the stake for even thinking about trimming the plastics lol I'm surprised no one has contacted zero limits to find out if they would be interested in doing some panels in carbon fibre as there's plenty of falco owners who'd like a bit of carbon on their bikes)

Cheers Frank......if I do choose to go down the top yoke conversion then it'll be the CnC guys as they sell the top yoke and risers plus ur choice of Hel coloured brake n clutch lines for just a little more.......although I am tempted by the Apex 3 inch adjustable clip-ons.... :smt001
