Thanks to Falconihlist I have a swingarm coming my way this week. I am planning on powdercoating it black to match the frame of my 05 Olympic Bronze Falco frame. I already have Ohlins shock fitted so I am assuming that this is fine with it's linkage.

I would like some feedback on what else I need. Falconihlist has also included new bearings and dust covers. I know I will need a Mille hugger. But, do I also need:

a new sprocket cover
a chain guard?
longer chain or a 15t sprocket?

I have also noticed that D-Rider may have a pdf copy of instructions to swap the swingarm over. It would be useful if I could get hold of this.

Any advice would be welcom

Cheers

The only extra parts you should need is the chain guard and possibly the chain guide.

Check on Ultimate Parts website, they have all the parts diagrams for every Aprilia and all the part numbers so you can cross reference what's different.

An abba stand with the footplate kit is very helpful

Torque spanner

A friend to help line things up

I also like to have some grease about.... As well as some loctite :)

i have a spare chain guide, the swingarm came with one after i'd ordered it off ebay!! Just looking to recoupe what i paid for it, about a tenner inc post

there's a rubber chain guard around the front sprocket area
a 'shark fin' chain protector under and near rear sprocket
top chain guard
cable router/guide
hugger

ebay was good source for me, search Tuono and Millie options, buy some of these new won't break the bank either

sprocket cover and chain will be fine, rear cable will just reach apparently

Thanks guys.

Think there is a chain guide with the swing arm. I've been having a look on ebay at all the lovely carbon fibre bits available. You could really go to town with this stuff!

I'm also looking for a belly pan. I had seen a carbon fibre thread on the AF1 forum but that seemed to have died off. Does anyone else know who provides them? Have see the skidmarx but would like cf if possible.

Well done, fury. I forgot about the cable guide. Shark fin is optional though, not really needed for the road.

pdf not needed as I went to the trouble of posting it all up in the Technical Section:
