I might know some answers;

1. You can buy db killers off the shelf so to speak. You'll need to adapt your exhausts to fit them ie drill small hole in end and rivet or small bolt so you can rmove them if you like. You'll need to measure the internal diameter etc but should be readily available on ebay.

2. If you PM Greg-D, he's in the process of getting some adaptors made up to fit GSXR mirrors with built in LED's. They're a lot more available and you can get pattern parts which are a lot cheaper. Might be worth a look?

5. Decals - try www.the-image-works.co.uk can do anything you like. Excellent prices too.

I presume you are on about these indicators

The answer is DON'T

Thay are too big and they snap easy with the slightest knock. The rubber is poorly made. You can fix them but you need to 'shim' them with two thin strips of rubber and some decent glue in order to mate the two broken bits together.

- those little spring-clips (finger pinch type) that hold brake pipes to the master cylinders? - called the local Aprilia dealers and (almost unbelievably) none of them have any in stock, not even in the workshops. Is there anywhere online that these can be ordered from?
Have you tried a Ducati dealer? - a good number of their bikes have the same braking systems .... and they tend to be cheaper too ....
TwinNut wrote: - some small 'Aprilia' and 'Aprilia Racing' stickers that are often fitted on the end of the front mudguard available anywhere?
Ebay can be your friend .... try something like "Aprilia decals" .... there will probably be a load of junk to wade through but you should find something.

Tah.

Late as usual :smt002

Ebay has the brake line clips, although they arent an exact copy and are more expensive than aprilia (!) but you dont have to get off your arse to get them

edit:balls, link wont work . Search for "fuel line clips" in this shop :- http://stores.shop.ebay.co.uk/Motorcycl ... QQ_armrsZ1 £2.85 for 4 delivered
