Better late than never as they say...

Sabestian,
Nice to see you got it sorted and it's lookin good.
See you changed your mind about the Tuono conversion and went for the Falco Fighter bits. Looked to be too many (expensive) complications with the Tuono conversion when I looked.
Fighter kit looked easier and cheaper but there aint nothin' cheap with a damaged Aprilia.

Tuono conversion is not that expensive actually. 300-400 quid in parts if you are careful. It's roughly the same I've spent on this Fighter but ONLY because I was lucky to get the front fairing cheap. I already had most bits needed for Falcuono but decided to go for more 'elite' option.

Did it all go straightforward?

Yep. Easy peasy.

Mine's back on road with a few bits still to be sorted, like still need a new Beowulf titanium can.

There are always 'a few bits still to be sorted'
I need bronze paint for the fairing, radiator covers, and couple of touch-ups here and there.

Will have cost me a grand plus by time I've done and yours had more damage than mine.

Actually mine had far less damage I expected. Front fairing and a subframe were smashed, the rest was surprisingly fine! Radiator leaking (now replaced), rear subframe marginally bent (straightened now) and... that's it! Scratches all over the place - that'll be an excuse for a new paint next year...Did I mention that I used Suzuki Burmgman's handlebars

The best bit is the improvement in comfort and fun-factor! I was not happy with position on a stock Falco, went for Convertibars, not enough, than crashed and here I am

Falcoholic, I bought this baby with them fitted, so no clue. But I have to agree with you. They match Falco's lines perfectly.

It looks good and nice to have something different. Can't really tell without seeing it in the flesh, but think I might be tempted to keep the fairing in polished alloy.

P.S.
Did you notice how I didn't mention the Suzuki Burgman's handlebars.
Then again if they do the job, what the hell, nobody is goin to know if you don't keep tellin them.

New(ish) photos of my unfinished project.





Need to figure out the bellypan, do a bit of spraying (a lot actually), find black Mille mudguard (CF if in a good mood ), fit the painted-black-Mille-swingarm, etc. And do a rene-style airbox mutilation, get PC3 custom mapped... Busy summer... Need a new card

Danowat, I don't know how you feel about putting your bike on a stand when its on gravel, but I wouldn't.

[danowat]

Meh, it's fine, no worries about the gravel
