Mate that looks absolutely phenomenal ! Take note Aprillia, that's how you sexy up a bike. If it looked like that from the factory, there'd be a waiting list. Well done mate 👏🏼
Love your graphics kit. I paid extra for a fancy paint job on my Tuareg, but if your kit had been available (or if I'd known about it) I would have bought a black one and tricked it out like yours!!
The bike is looking great! FYI, I put Akrapovic headers with a Delkevic X - Oval 343 Titanium silencer, soo much lighter, more power, torque and the sound is excellent!
looks amazing. Go full system and tune, I need to see the results. Thinking of trading my much loved S1000XR in and getting one of these so I can join all my mates who are now on ADV,s. They are all on KTM,s, Husky's, BMW's, Yammies, Honda,s etc. But I really like the look of this bike. From all the reviews it seems like a very good package.
Looks great. By cutting off the back of the fender, are you still able to keep the radiator from getting clogged with mud? I have the Hepco & Becker crash bars on my Tuareg but would really prefer the Outback Motortek ones, and would also like to run a high fender kit, but am worried about compatibility.
@@Vicko026 How did you modify the original fender? Did you just cut it in half? And did you then just use the high fender kit from Camel-ADV and cut the back end off the Acerbis kit? Thanks again!
@@cuatropines9176 Yes we just trimmed the front of the original lower guard. Custom mount for the Acerbis SM high fender. You can just buy the Camel high fender kit if you dont have access to machining for the mount.
@@Vicko026 I rewatched the video after I sent the second message and all of those questions were answered plain as day, so thank you for patiently answering them again.
I don’t do a lot of really rough stuff, so I have a GSA. One of the advantages has been that it’s the bike that I’ve spent the least on.. it’s pretty much complete out of the dealer, which has been a really good thing.
I'm happy with my full system but not the tuner. I have the Up-Map but do not like the decel popping. If I find the room to mount I will go with the Dyna or see if someone like DNK has a reflash and tuner available. I did the Dyna on my Africa Twin and was very happy with being able to do my own tunes.
Hello!, High fender is amazing, so, quick question, where did you bought?, it is from some website?, and… how cut the original fender?, special tools?, thanks in advance
@@niko_ehds Its attached using an adapoter plate much like the ones available on existing kits (if you Google Tuareg high fender kit you'll see a couple come up)
Your high fender looks fantastic! But you still have the original fender …. That means your high fender in the front is just cosmetic?!? Or does the high fender have a use?
Mostly cosmetic yes. The low fender is cut in half so any mud I do find will be less likely to clog, but it'll see more dust and sand than mud hopefully.
Wayne the bike looks the part now, the high fender is great but the flash of red is spoiling the fender , side view makes the fender look like it’s shorter and tilting up. Maybe I’m sod too, Definitely put the header on and pairvalve block off plates. More power less heat and sound grouse, win win. Are you contactable with email?
@@Vicko026 Thanks for getting back to me, I was down your way at Ang/heath scouting out tracks for a ride I’m putting together on the long weekend. I did Cecil shinney eye Denham elderdyce powerline and Alcoa border tracks, butt I’m trying to get some more tracks so I can make some sort of loop to take the fellas on. Nothing nasty as there will be a couple of bigger adv,s . I’m getting a Dakar podium 660 shortly they tick all the boxes for me, your videos proved a lot to me as I like power sliding and getting air like yourself , the bikes balance looks great and stable. Anyway enough babbling, if you have any tracks you could suggest I’m heading down there next Wednesday to pre run some of it. If you have the time much appreciated mate, cheers Paul.
Hey Paul - sure thing. Depending on the skill level of the group I'd include going straight over Gum flats at the bottom of Cecil and doing Allardyce all the way to the fork, to then go right and do Alcoa Boundary and Peregrine. From there you could link to Denhams via Bald Hills and No2. That section in and around Shiney eye down to Alcoa Boundary is nice and easy going - there is a section with some challenginn hill climbs at the very Eastern end of Ridge View Track right next to the tip depending on how brave you are :) Otherwise you can take Old coach road down the back of Aireys. Make your way to Iron Bark Spur and Gentle Annie will be a nice easy run on big bikes. Heaps of interesting tracks around the plantation area, Paddy's Swamp etc Hard to go wrong.
@@Vicko026 Thanks Wayne, that will help heaps, I'm heading down next Wednesday and will check out some of the tracks before our crew ride, thanks again keep the Tuareg videos coming👍
Aprilia probably has a plan for a high fender, I bought the 2024 model and the bottom of the triple already has 4 screw halls in it, just need the screws and fender is on. So for the 2024 job much more simple, just screw the fender on, no need for bracket.
Mate epic build .. fender looks the shit, (I’ll take a mounting bracket if your mate punches out a few! ) Go the tune ,good to see what you can get out of it? Interested to hear if that right side is cooler with out the cat?
@@ChrisSauer-oe5ve I've done that several times... At the dealer, on the phone and online support... They professionally turn me away, i.e. I'm too stupid to fill up the motorcycle myself, according to Aprilia. They just don't want to install a new tank because that's the problem.
If you haven't done it, then you should definitely do both front and rear suspension. The OEM setups are most of the times poor. In my opinion that's actually the first thing to do on a bike, not the last.
No, I have not, so just assuming based on experience with other adventure motorcycles. Just saying, rather upgrade shock absorbers than spend money on cosmetic items like decals or exhaust.
Yeh , I can't decide, they kind of look out of place on an ADV bike, kind of like a pretend enduro. The Tenere extreme also has it and I much prefer the look of the original low fender. I guess it comes down to personal choice.
High fender with the modified stock fender looks great
It looks and sounds terrific!The decals,fender even the pipe look great, wouldn't change a thing.
Nice job that front fender looks awesome 👌

It looks better than the stock version. Well done. it sounds pretty good.
Your bike is.. and looks!! Simply awesome mate!
Cheers mate!
best looking Aprilia!
Full titanium head pipes, No Kat, with PROPER tune on Dyno 🥳🙌
Velocity stacks, UNI foam filter AU, engine block off plate, charcoal canister remove.
Looks awesome 👍
The wrap looks great.

Very nice graphics. That fender mod transformed the looks no. Would not surprise me to see this as a factory kit soon.
Would be smart on Aprilia to offer option or kit! 💯

The rear of the original front guard is still in place, so that keeps the rad from getting sprayed.

well done
85 bhp on knobby tyres is enough in my view. Awesome job !
95 bhp and light would be awesome from this bike 🥳🎉
@@ChrisSauer-oe5ve come on, do you really think you need more than 85bhp off road?
Love what you have done - top job! What's the make of those mirrors again I can't make it out on the sound track - sorry!
Cheers mate - Rottweiler Performance quick flip mirrors (arrow complete kit)
@@Vicko026 Thank you!
Love the graphics. Are you thinking of selling? Would like to see a yellow version too 😅
Looks good, sounds nice. When will we see the full system? 😊
😂 Yeah I'm already trying to find the right option lol
Awesome!!
We had 4 of our Tuono's at Philip Island Aprilia Owners Ride Day it was the best day ever.
Bike looks great! Is that the stock windscreen?
Cheers Tim - yep stock screen
Hi. Can you post the link of the Quadlock mount?
Yes please
Full system. Go for it
Outstanding!! But wasnt the oil pan/bottom 1/3 of case on the T660 redesigned from the RS and that was part of the de-tune? Please keep us updated.
You know the answer, full system bud!
I think you're right!
@@Vicko026 damn yes I am 🤣
No Kat, proper tune 🥳
Hi mate, looks awesome!
Do you have any solution to protect the swing-arm?
Cheers!
More detailed specs and links if you have them please for the high front fender and mounting spacer
I'm happy with my full system but not the tuner. I have the Up-Map but do not like the decel popping.

I did the Dyna on my Africa Twin and was very happy with being able to do my own tunes.
Interesting. I quite like popping on decel LOL but I'm keen to hear more thoughts on the Up-Maps
I agree with you, No popping lol
I want proper tune & bike to run like a beast 🥳🙌💪
Loved the series, the bike looks amazing. 10 months down the track now, where has it ended up?
Did you get a decat and tune or?
Hello!,
High fender is amazing, so, quick question, where did you bought?, it is from some website?, and… how cut the original fender?, special tools?, thanks in advance
Which brand is fender?
Acebis supermotard fender. Buy them from online do a google search for those three words. And cut it with something that cuts plastic :)
Thanks for information, one more thing, do you know how to fix or attach the fender in this place in the motorbike?, thanks in Advance@@Vicko026

Grazie Andrea, sono d'accordo!
VERY GOOD.....👌👌👌👌
Can you share the tech specs for the high fender, DYI like?
Please!!!
Looks really great ! Do you have any reference for the high fender ?
I have the full SC Project system on mine - seems to be a little more spritely but most of all no hot right leg anymore
Is it much louder without the cat
@@mikebaines4111 No it is not offensive at all not much louder than standard just a much better note - biggest advantage is how much cooler it runs
- Sorry for the late reply - No not at all. But a massive difference in heat transfer from the OEM one
Full System
Can i ask where you got the black fairings and beak from? I really like that change. The one with your webpage and the one under the front light TY
The fairing is just vinyl wrapped and the front fender is an Acerbis Supermotard one that we mounted up with a custom bracket.
Bike is awesome! Where
Did you get the rim decal or protection?
Signpro in Melbourne did the stickers for me
Full system. I have the RS 660 which is a potent little bike and thats my final upgrade to it in 2025.
Hi going to do a high fender on my bike what hardware did he use to fix it ? Ps would you sell me a sticker set ? Thanks
I thought you were going to say you wanted to buy a RS660! I have a tricked out Tuareg and want a Tuono 600 in addition so bad I can't see straight.
There's a video coming soon on the RS660 that may not help your decision making process then - LOL

Nice !
Go the full system, I can never stop at just a slip on
Exactly 👍
Hey!! It's posible to buy the front high fender for the Tuareg?
What’s on the wheel rims? Is it just rim tape or a protection?
sorry, but I can't understand the type of fender you used, can you write it Downey please!
Acebis supermotard fender
@@Vicko026 thanks!!!👍🏻
Pipe and tune , 😊
Does ur buddy fab the plate for the fender?
SOrry mate - he's pretty flatout on other things. You can get commercial high fender kits though :)
Need to post, so people know you have kits 🙌
How did you cut the original fender to get smooth lines, i would be very much interested in the process of how to do it. And with what tools.
Probably a dermal, then hand finished with sandpaper.
Not hard to do.
Fender looks how it should have come from factory. Hate low fender look on pretty much everything.
I just bought the front fender and I see that there is nowhere to screw it, what did you use to screw it in?
What about the tank volume? Mine only fits 15.5L after the tank has run dry.
Go to Aprilia and tell them 🤦♂️
@@ChrisSauer-oe5ve I've done that several times... At the dealer, on the phone and online support... They professionally turn me away, i.e. I'm too stupid to fill up the motorcycle myself, according to Aprilia. They just don't want to install a new tank because that's the problem.
If your friend will make me a bracket like yours, I will buy it.
If we get a bit of demand he might consider it. Its a lovely looking thing
Mehhh, I think if you hit the mud that rear fender section is going to pack up..
A kangaroo !!
🤣🤣
If you haven't done it, then you should definitely do both front and rear suspension. The OEM setups are most of the times poor.
In my opinion that's actually the first thing to do on a bike, not the last.
Have you ridden one?? The suspension is epic for a stock bike!
No, I have not, so just assuming based on experience with other adventure motorcycles.
Just saying, rather upgrade shock absorbers than spend money on cosmetic items like decals or exhaust.
@@jaroslavmandik2554Never assume, this is one of the best suspensions on the market to date, & rocks on street & dirt.
Hands down 💪🙌
The exhaust is WAY TOO HIGH. This is about "cool look" but not practical at all ; no place for any bag there.
My saddle bags fit on just fine, so...
It would be nice to a little lower 🙌
Aside from cosmetics… the high front “fender” is worthless…plus it looks like sh*t….
