      #41216 - 10/04/2009 22:09

Finally it's th start of a new season! What mods have you done over the winter. Myself, I spent the winter fitting a new chain, Rossocromo hugger and chain guard, and a few other bits and bobs.

I've fitted a DNA air filter (this morning), a -1 front sprocket to complement the +2 I already have on the back, a Hyperpro progressive spring on the rear shock. All in the last week.

Here ya go...

Looking good there! I might have had one of those if the Aprilia dealer here had been more willing to sell me a bike.

Why thank you.
Still bloody pissing down here so I haven't had it out after the filter yet but I have it on good authority that it makes a noticeable difference to the power.
It's a bit silly fast with all the sprockets but probably not by all the 1000/4 standards.

i think you will find throttle response quicker with the new filter.

Did loads over the winter.
Clip ons
Quick action throttle
WP rear shock
Showa fork internals
Power commander re-mapped
Full service
How do I stop spending? I suppose if I told the wife how much it all cost she would put a sto to it!
