If you’ve fitted gen 2 heads or will they sit all funny / on the wonk? First day off since jan8 after a month long event starting up at Thurso , loved that 760 mile trip from Portsmouth ( in one go ) … Late , but happy new year to all 😊

Some fine tuning with a mallet perhaps on the rear header, but other than that the belly pan would need a trim. I’m not an expert but it should go straight on otherwise. Would need a lambda plug too. ------------- Aprilia RSVR Factory 2007 V2 1060cc Big Bore Aprilia RSVR Factory 2004 Race Bike Kawasaki ZX10R 2007 Race Bike Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2020 www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apworkshops.co.uk |

Redrat is very clued up on this as is spoonz. Or give Griff a call in the shop perhaps for a faster response ------------- Aprilia RSVR Factory 2007 V2 1060cc Big Bore Aprilia RSVR Factory 2004 Race Bike Kawasaki ZX10R 2007 Race Bike Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 Factory 2020 www.apriliaperformance.co.uk www.apworkshops.co.uk |

gen 2 system so you have fitted the gen2 heads at last? front downpipe will hit oil cooler a gen 2 engine is offset in the frame by 5mm so the chain side pipe will sit out further rear down pipe may need a dent to squeeze through the swing arm the collector needs the gen1 bellypan curting i’m sure on the clutch side -------------  |

No redrat, zero free time to get on with it so I’ve just been glancing online and stockpiling bits in the hope I can get back on with it Last year was so busy with back to back events plus one month my back crapped out on me again ( annular tear ) so spent a month off work and nursing a weak back since . It’s killed my enthusiasm for everything
