Thought i'd post this up as I cant recall seeing any on any of the Aprilias on the Site

Mate just bought one for his 748 and it doesnt look too bad to be honest. Good quality by the look of my Mate's too.

Cheaper here:

got one of them.

just stuck it over the original and blacked out the edges where the new one doesn't cover it.

Lovely

They are illegal you know, another thing plod can hit you for.

I think they're really sad myself, put a proper flag on the bike.

I can already see Nooj converting his tail section to incorporate a 40ft flagpole ........ "Hoist the Jolly Roger - we're going riding"

No theyre not. The bike shows a red reflector to the rear, as required by law.
