That one in the link should fit okay

Here's a pic of one fitted, I had to check too as you got me thinking. And I started to think oh no I've waited this long on a cover that might not fit lol

Wait a minute, reading further down that page the guy who fitted it said he had to shave a little off to make it fit, if that is the case it might be an issue doing that to a carbon cover, although even further down the page someone else says any tuono/rsv cover will fit. Maybe best hang on until someone else here clarifys.

This predictive text on the iPad can land you in bother, I had a quick look over what I had written the first time and it wasn't what I had written lol it had replaced someone with moron etc lol good job I didn't just hit submit lol

Still no cover. :smt012 my axe is sharp and my patience is gone. I would head down in my long ship but its too cold just now so I'll send an email instead........again. Has anyone else encountered long waiting times from prilia Yorkshire, I'm fairly sure when ordered a new Brembo brake lever from them last time it took an age too.
Lesson learned, still, beats our local motorcycle dealer. Took them 5 months to get the gloves I ordered through them.

Ordered a new head gasket for an outboard for my long ship from somewhere outside London on Monday and it was here today.

Moan over, I guess it'll be here eventually :smt069

The rsv and tuono mark ones are a straight fit - the CF ones I have no idea about as they are to afaik an aprilia part

Hey guys, does anyone know if aprilia Yorkshire is still actually trading as there's no reply to emails and there's nobody answering the phone. Makes you wonder. I hope not :smt001

Thanks wayno :smt001 I'll look into that. If they have maybe its a different number. I think the cover has maybe got lost in the post. maybe it could be an excuse to get a carbon one instead lol

Same number, still no answer. No reply to emails. Both emails, very polite. it's not like I'm being a pest in them. Very strange. Tempted to order another from somewhere else but £20 out of pocket, could have gone half way to a carbon one. :smt017

I wondered if i should keep this to myself, kinda embarrasing. bit of an oopsy on my part :smt053 turns out i didnt order the cover from ultimate parts it was ordered from genuine aprillia, got a hold of them today, turns out the cover was only dispatched from Italy today. So still got a bit of a wait. So my apollogies to ultimate parts, infact the fellow there was very helpfull.

Feel free to :smt064 at me :smt012 :smt001

Welcome to some serious piss takes

May not be today, or even this week....



















Actually it will be but!

Just out of interest, to help keep the piss takes focused

You haven't lost a hat as well have you?
