Seconded... got me a bit worried at first as they reused the original bags with the short stem part numbers on. But all's well that ends well...

The ones they sent me are even in the right bags with the right part numbers ..... now all that remains is to fit them and see whether they actually improve the rearward view !

Thats good news then!
Maybe ARS should have a 'safe' ebay seller list, something akin to : Aprilia Service and Tuning Centres (recommended by members)
as found in the Aprilia Technical area.

They appear to show consistent good service when dealing with problems and with a growing list of items sourced from ebay it may help people identify the good sellers in the future.

I've been hoping to find these relisted on ebay. Would one of you kind gentlemen care to quote the Aprilia part number please? Thanks in anticipation.

For goodness sake, mea culpa! Apologies to DRider and thanks to Aladinsane. Reminds me of my school days. I was always being told, "Read the question twice before writing anything!"

Fitted them today. No time for a ride, unfortunately - so can't confirm what difference they make.

I did start the bike up to get it up the slope into the garage ... not certain but I think there may be a bit of vibration in the mirrors that I never noticed with the shorter ones. I guess the longer ones would make any vibration more noticeable.
I'll have to report when I get a chance to ride it.

Good possibility they could shake a bit, but the wind effect might help to stabilise them. May need to do up the sprung mounting nut really tight or replace the spring with something solid if it persists.

Looking forward to the pics and report.
