Sorry but I have tried to get on with my RSV Mille but much preferred my old TL1000, don't get me wrong, the RSV is a cracking bike but it just isn't doing it for me anymore.

can't help you with the swap - but I'm curious what you like about the TL? Always had a thing for the TL but haven't ridden one

The TL is wider and more comfortable for me, it's also challenging to ride as it's so unpredictable, I loved my old one and haven't really gelled with this RSV I find I get battered about by the wind no matter what position I'm in, never had that with the TL

I love the RSV but I can't quite jell with it, but I'm prepared to put up with that. I've got some falco bars to try and sort it, I had a vtr firestorm and love it jelled with it could ride the wheels off it. Try a difference screen for more protection ???

I put a small areo foil screen on my bike from HPS, this lifted the airflow away from my head & the bike was transformed from a tiresome ride to a fun ride again for 69 quid? I think.

the TL can be best described as challenging at worst lethal, some people love them, this one on ebay is the nicest I’ve seen but £5250 !!!

Owning a TL is on my "bucket list" ......a reputation blown out of proportion maybe , but blowing my own trumpet for a minute I reckon that if I can thrash a Firestorm around in the top third of an inters group I can tame a TL.

TLs are great bikes, nothing like their reputation , put a good shock on the back and away you go 

a lot of bike for very little money !!!

Do it! I miss my old one and the whole unpredictable handling but my god when it was behaving it was immense!! The rotary rear shocker let's it down though, a few times I was nearly bounced off my seat.

That looks very clean, I have always loved the front of the tlr but not the duck tail. I have seen one with a k4 seat unit on and thought it suited it well.

Funny but I think that tail really works,I prefer it to the Mille fat ar*e version.

I always fancied a late R,one of my mates had one of the last ones ever made and he used to say it was so some much fun he couldn't believe it was legal.

That's a nice bike pal.
JHS racing do load's of stuff to and for them don't they.
If you ever need some front forks i have a set including the yokes and spindle/spacers.
I would swap you £120 for them if you ever need to.
Are them Scorps with or without DB killers ?
They shake your chest when they don't have them in,sound like cannons .
I used to be uncertain , but now i'm not sure anymore

I remember my TLR, when I first bought it I took it to have cans fitted and be remapped on a rolling road, it made 119 bhp, when I came home the Good Mrs Gazza thought there was a helicopter landing in the field opposite the house and came out to look, but no it was a bright yellow TLR, made 105 db.
