Were they the same as the Falco?
Can anybody confirm?
If so the answer is YES.

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...

Most of the bikes on here have the standard Falco black bar ends,

Can probably do a close up if you need it.
I just need to find some older Mille pictures and compare them.

or go through the old aprilia yorkshire spares list
8102787 and 8102787 are the part numbers... so must be the same

Yes I would agree, all the early RSV images I can find on the net are black and look identical to the Falco as I expected.

Cheers Guys,
I take it they are solid steel ?, my clipons are hollow although standard

so I have just ordered the internals from Mark @ Time Machine but they come without bar ends. So just trying ti get an idea of what else I need.

I have now fitted the R&G bar ends - nice bits of kit, though they are silver - I am happy with them though :)

proper gold midas, or rust brown to match your bronze?

No, autumnal gold, to go with the greying bits
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
