Stuck two of these on a mates RSV.. They seem to be the same quality as the marked Aprilia items, just they don't have Aprilia marked on them. :smt002
Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Got the RS125 mirrors very cheap on ebay, OEM Aprilia were no more than 20 quid new.

Ones below are 30 though

what I would like to know is if the fitting kit would allow me to fit rsv 04 indicator mirrors to the falco ?

or is it just a replacement for the existing one ?

No, that's just for standard. The RSVR indicator mirrors have a different hole pitch.

APRILIA MIRRORS PAIR RS125 2007 on LONG ARM 526085

I got these off E-bay, jenuine Aprilia and they are good, the only thing I would sugest is to use the base of your original mirrors as the base they supply are thicker and you cannot adjust them as well with the slightly thinner base.

I paid £30 all in

Actually found the place I got them from

I have fitted a pair to my green bike, and i am impressed.
Sturdy frames, and its nice to be able to see past my elbows :smt002

As already stated no, the adapter for the RSV mirrors was custom made by a guy in the US on AF1 Forum, he made a batch last year. Look in items for sale on ridersite as Nooj was selling his a few months ago

*Edit- Just had a look and looks like he sold them to a Dutch guy?
