looking to purchase a new slave cylinder and was looking to see if any1 with a black faco has a picture with the new cylinder showing. thinking of a gold 1 to go along with the calipers. colours are black red gold silver.

the one of ebay from mpl tuning i'm interested in buying.

Here you go Scotty. I'm assuming your looking at the german ones off ebay? Nicely engineered piece of kit that also makes the clutch action lighter. I used a Tuono clutch cover rather than make holes in the Falco one. HTH.

thought about the gold but i was looking at the pic and i'm going for a silver 1 to match the frame.

went to order a sprocket cover from aprilia yorkshire... no probs but a £5 part total cost 31 i don't think so!!!!

see how much from jez mcwilliams shop here.

NOW IF EVERY1 JUST NOT BID ON THE CYLINDER I WOULD BE OKAY.....

tried bidding loads of times and didn't realise that many aprilias out there!!

How the hell did they get from £5 to £31? The cover weighs 2/10 of bugger all so postage can't be much. VAT only adds 95p so where's the rest come from?
If you get truly stuck, PM me and I'll nip over and get one for cash and post it myself.

I've been watching them for about a year now ... always hoping that "this will be the week that everyone that wants one already has one" - or that they've all gone away for the week and can't log on to ebay .... and every week somebody else decides that one would look nice on their bike and the price goes up and up.

How many Aprilias can there be out there?!

twinnut,

cheers for that little pic, spot on.

tweaker,

i filled in the online ordering and when i put in my address they put it down for ups delivery at 20+ quid!!!!

rang jeremy's shop here and ordered it through them. not worried on time as i still need to get the sprag clutch.

woodb,

didn't realise they cost that (thought dearer), i bidded on 1 so it runs out sat night. will check it then and if lose then i'll buy direct.

So do you think there may be some phantom bidders out there D-Rider can't say I am all that worried 36k now and the old cylinder is still holding up well and another in the falco parts store

Not sure about the phantom bidders - the selling price does vary and as long as there are a couple of genuine bidders, they'll push the price up to whatever they are willing to pay ... just that I'm a bit of a skinflint and won't go as far as the other bidders! (and as a committed sniper, once the price has gone above my limit I'm not going to bid)

I guess it would mainly be a "bling" purchase - so not really that important - but the reduction in lever pressure could be welcome.
