Hi Viffer,
Sorry I missed your arrival for so long.
Good to see the credit card is getting a work out already.
Wonder if Aprilia do one?

Dunno about "next" but if they're not done already, the first 2 mods
before these others are sidestand and rear shock.
OK .... follow ons .... 15t front sprocket and scottoiler would be pretty high up my list.

followed by airbox, pc3 and possibly replacement chip.....
then indicators, hid dip beam, bars, mpl clutch master cylinder
but most important of all - ride it, and enjoy it
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Nope she do be stayin' black.
I'll get her into my workshop next week and look at the sidestand and see if a mounting mod can be done, it does balance a little precariously.

though I do admire your resources, I think most here would agree that no mod is worth while on the standard aprilia uk stand
decide on either USA or alternative stand
then decide on which one - gixxer or firestorm
firestorm one is easiest, less hassle to fit
gixxer is solid but requires some work
yank stand is straightforward bar cutting the spare hole off (And you have to wait a couple of weeks if ordered from the states!)

No idea if the SP1 or 2 ones fit - I think people have used the Firestorm
.... but I've gone for the GSXR solution

I think that all the sidestands are the same on the firestorm, irrespective on the series....
