(big sigh).......The bike was 'technically' sold to my mate (I use the term loosely) and he's been using it after putting a dp down and in-lieu of the final payment (after Christmas bonus). He's now scared-himself shitless over Christmas on a wet ride and now doesn't want it and says he's going back to a smaller bike. To add insult he cracked r/h mirror getting it into his shed. No biggy though as I've stood firm on negotiating a discount taking it back meaning I'll end up with a bit more wedge to put into a Tuono (yeeehhaaa)... :smt003 :smt003 :smt003 ....but I do do need a mirror before I stick her on ebay....any help appreciated fellas.

hi mate

forgive the obvious saying but.....

why not falcouno the bike?

oh - bits arrived fine - thanks mate - you have a pm :)


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...

I bought a single mirror from him for £15 last year. They are 'new' but i noticed they dont have the Aprilia logo on like the original.

Do they look identical to the original?

AAAaaarrgghhhhh.....!!!! FFS, I've rung everywhere I know and no one that I can find has got an original replacement r/h mirror in stock. Surely this has got to be one of the most called for non-consumable parts they make and it fits shed loads of bikes aswell.....anybody know ANYWHERE that I can get one of these mirrors from, it's preventing me from putting the bike ebay. I don't want a pattern one, I'd like an original and preferably a second-hand (and thus weathered) one from a breakers or anywhere to be honest.......can anyone point me in the right direction???

Try this link. RS motorcycles and Cheshire motorcycle salvage don't have one.
If your that concerned why not just buy a brand new matching pair for £35!
