Thank you!! ✌️
Man you make amazing videos on Aprilia mods and maintenance. Nice looking bike!
Thank you I appreciate that! ✌️
Súper tus videos bro, eres el mejor explicando, saludos 🖖
Thank you, I really appreciate that ✌️
Perfect , I love the ultradark version if the new shape & with a Matte Carbon cover to contrast with the Gloss & Satin finishes i'd love to see it , but this! This is awesome , I'd probably get the RR from the new range (Aprilias are temperamental let alone adding electronic suspension) , really feeling this , very nice
Thanks! ✌️
Looks amazing 👍
Thank you!! ✌️
You have the best channel bro
I really appreciate that! ✌️
@@ALFAVITAGA keep it up man!
Man the bike with those covers is sexy af! Love your videos, always the best and so informative!
Thank you I appreciate that! I can’t wait to install the next series of mods ✌️
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥 Nice bike!
Thank you! ✌️
Looks amazing i Matte carbon fiber. The brushed aluminium dosent look as good. Cannot wait for more upgrades!
I agree! More mods coming up ✌️
Man you're bike look nice... :)
Thank you! It’s coming along ✌️
when I installed frame sliders on that bolt with the bracket, the instructions say to put a jack underneath the engine to keep it aligned, worked out for me (in case anyone wants to remove that bolt instead of bending the bracket).
Thanks for commenting this. Thats exactly why I didn’t remove it as I know that to remove any engine bolt mount you almost always need a jack. Good to confirm it. ✌️
@@ALFAVITAGA i'm glad to be able to confirm it. It's funny you say that, because my RSV4 is the only bike where the instructions call for you to jack the bottom of the engine. Even for my Tuono and myriad of other bikes, I never needed to.
@@frankfeng6199 Anything engine related I would always have a jack in hand just in case. Even if the instructions don’t say so. I know a person that removed the bolt on the RS660 and the engine dropped a bit and was misaligned. So better safe than sorry ✌️
@@ALFAVITAGA you're absolutely right, that would have been the safe thing to do lol, my lazy as just likes cutting corners and sometimes it bites me in the ass
@frankfeng6199 We’re all guilty of that 👌
Will the triple clamp and clip ons from your 660 fit the RSV4? That would be very convenient.
The Bonamici clip ons from the RS660 fit. I got an identical set for my RSV4. But the triple clamp wont work because the RSV4 uses an ignition mount on the triple and the RS660 does not. Unless you don’t use the ignition on the RSV4 and you do a race setup. But even then I can’t confirm that the fork distances are equal to the RS660.
@@ALFAVITAGA yeah that makes sense. I forgot about different ignition setup. At least the clip -ons can be swapped over!
@@kforeal6809 Yup!
One of the best estethic mod on Aprilia's bike. I'm just concerned if the heat would not completely melt the double sided tape. And I am able to wrap the carbon cover to have the color i want ?
True! The silver raw frame is not a popular liking. I’m sure the heat will not affect the double sided tape. The 2023 RSV4 Factory has the Aprilia decal on the frame and the heat does not affect it at all. And the adhesive of the double sided tape is much stronger than the decal. You would also be able yo wrap the carbon cover and not have any issues with the heat for the same reasons as above. ✌️
@@ALFAVITAGA that's a valid point. Didn't consider the aprilia sticker on the side. I might start to wrap my side frame then.
@@mahanghorbani523 good alternative to carbon ✌️
I wonder if the frame could have just been wrapped in matte black or carbon wrap too?@@ALFAVITAGA
Will the glue of the double sided tape not lose its strength when riding because of the heat generated by the engine?
My guess is it will be just fine. But if it’s not, I’ll update. ✌️
Perfect, how much did the parts cost in total?
where did you get that sticker for the bellypan? it makes the rr look so much better! aswell as the black letter "A".
if you could provide me the codes or som for it. much apreciated!
It makes a huge difference! These are the part numbers:
2H004187 (RH external wing decal “a” black)
2H004188 (LH external wing decal “a” black)
2H004191 (RH lower fairing decal “aprilia racing”)
2H004192 (LH lower fairing decal “aprilia racing”)
@@ALFAVITAGA I recieved these just today! thanks for the help thus far brother! I was wondering how did you apply the stickers to your fairings? Im not familiar with applying stickers so maybe you have some tips on how you did it?
@@shapelessdreams I wish I did a video showing how to apply the stickers because it’s impossible to explain over a comment. Unfortunately it’s very easy to mess them up. Part of the reason I didn’t make a video was because I wanted to concentrate on actually applying them right instead of trying to show how to do it. And even then I almost messed up the “a”. The only thing I can say over a comment is that you need painters tape and you have to use painters tape to keep the sticker aligned. Then you have to lift half the sticker, remove half the peel, and adhere half the sticker. Then you remove the painters tape and lift the other half of the sticker, remove the other half of the peel and slowly adhere the rest of it down. You will also have to use a heat gun or a hair dryer before you apply it. The “a” are the most difficult. Take all the time you need and good luck mate! ✌️
@@ALFAVITAGA what do you need the heatgun for?
@@shapelessdreams The heat softens the decal and makes it easier to apply, adheres better as the residue warms up and helps eliminate air bubbles.
Great addition to the looks of the bike. I would however never have used that silicon glue. If you (or maybe a next owner of the bike) ever feel like removing the carbon frame covers the glue probably will have stained the frame permanently…. that’s a pity… 🤷♂️
Thanks! If it stains it, there are ways to polish it and buff it out. Plus I only used a small amount. I agree that for the entire frame I wouldn’t use silicon. I prefer double side tape. ✌️
No other way for Carbon… never fits 100%
Do you know if they make these carbon covers for the RS 660
At this time they only make them for the RSV4 ✌️
Well thanks for replying, kinda sux as I think these would look awesome on my RS660, guess I will keep checking any hope they do these in the future, peace ✌🏻
@@robertbryant1845 A few companies make carbon covers for the 660, like RPM Carbon, AMC Carbon, Motocomposites and Maxicarbon, etc. It’s just that the two top manufacturers like Extreme Components and Ilmberger, don’t make them for the 660 yet.
Are the swingarm protectors permanent once fitted ?
No, you can remove them any time you want.
How would you do that wouldn't the carbon snap ?
@@senor-fa-von-dia It will be very tricky. A lot of heat applied to soften the adhesive and slowly pry it out. I am not looking forward to that day lol.
Go with race seat brand eurathane seat no cover buy entire seat bolt on
That would be a good choice for the track. But I went for a more aesthetic look with Luimoto seat cover.
