Hey kiwi ( no I'm not talking to myself

)
I had a look at the Aprilia Yorkshire site and I reckon you only need
parts : AP0012449-master cylinder rod
and AP0012448-RH ball joint m6
a grand total of £12.23 plus post I guess to get your rear brake working again.
That's if you can live with the bits I straightened.
See the drawings HERE. parts 8 & 9

...cool, thanks Gio. All the controls are intact so I'd only need the handlebar - please PM me and we can do a deal or something.

Am having much less luck finding the r.hand hanger/rear brake master cylinder combo I need. The couple of Falco's breaking on ebay have already sold those bits and my partfinder search thingy, which usually inundates me with offers from breakers, hasn't given me a single peep. Anyone know anyone who's put on fancy schmancy rearsets who might be convinced to part with their OEM part? Anyone know if other Aprilia model rearsets would be a straight swap - Tuono's, older RSV's etc?

Ah confusion time for me and you by clip on I meant foot peg and ancillaries but minus the slave cylinder. I've not had a chance to look today the weather is freezing here, but I will by Monday or so.

If I have them they're yours don't want ought for them as the bikes my sons now, and he's got enough spares if he bins it, plus I want to clear the bits out ready for my road tank when I find it.

Well you could take up Gio's generous offer of straight bits and fit your master cylinder to it with the parts I mentioned and you'd be back in business

F.K and Gio you guys rock!

Keep me posted about the bits Gio and I'll follow F.K's link to the OEM other bits and see if I can sort a repair.Thanks again!

Okay had a look and the only bit I've got is a bent clip on, which imo is useless, the right side handlebar is also bent, this is cos of my tumble last year. so I'm sorry I'd not want to send stuff that might be ok (the footpeg bit) only for you to find it breaks when the kink is taken out.

no worries Gio - I really appreciated the thought. Apart from the brake bits I only really need the bolt that holds the footpeg to the heel plate/frame. If that's still ok on the bits you've got it might be worth me asking for it. In the mean time, F.K's repair of the footpeg is pretty sound until a cheap replacement comes along, and I'll see if the linkage and rod he directed me to at yorkshire aprilia will do the trick for the brake repair. Someone's selling a straightened handlebar on ebay which I may check out. Seeing the plastic surgeons tomorrow - heart in mouth, hand on wallet

Well if you send me a pm with your address I'll send what I've got if its bolts as well.

The peg itself is okay as is the retaining pin and springs etc, also the threaded bit can be removed if needed.
