Are they the same as the Mille ones?

I need both of them, and there's none on fleabay

Brake is, gear bit isnt as milles is straight to shaft with no linkages like a falcos*

*waits to be corrected

That was my understanding too.

A quick visit to the Aprilia Yorkshire parts site will probably confirm, Gio.

The Mille gear lever fitts but gives you GP pattern (1st gear up, uphifting-down) which is brilliant BTW.
As to brake lever I think the brake assembly is completely different and it wouldn't fit at all...

If I was keeping the bike I'd go for the one up 5 down, I much prefer it.

Thanks for the help guys I'll take a deco round the 'prilia parts sites

Gio, you probably know you can get them here, but not cheap.

This is where I had to get my rear brake lever from last December, never found one on Ebay or at various breakers.

Good luck.

Don't want to play a vulture here but... Has any of your original gummy parts of levers survived? I mean the part of the lever that is in fact a screw dressed up in a rubber and that screws into an actual lever. Christ it must have a name

Do you mean the hydraulic bits?

Jeeeezzzz....

No, I mean the part number 11 + the screw/pivot it goes on top of:

No then, mines sheared off to a tiny stump (part 11)

The screwed pin bit is part of the lever and only comes with it, the lever cost me £49.41 (inc VAT) from local Aprilia dealer, rubber does not come with it, that's another £1.50. If you buy a new one soak it in v/hot water first or you'll never get it on. Be about as easy to got one off an existing lever I reckon.
Good luck
Howard.

Thanks anyway, Gio.

HowardQ, that's the point. My lever itself is untouched, so I can't see the point in getting a new one. I've got a screw put in with some rubber over it at the moment. Fully functional but hurts my eyes ever time I see it.

If anyone has this bit laying around - let me know please. I need specifically the pivot (I've got the rubber).

BTW both sides (gear and brake lever thingies are the same).
