    Skidmarx do a taller screen - you can get it from them or Wemoto. There's always Aprilia Yorkshire for OEM goodies (https://www.apriliayorkshire.co.uk/c...rd%202004-2007), or with the Euro being worth the square root of fuck all, you could try Wendel (http://www.wendelmotorraeder.de/shop...3avg6abeib9moh). Bodywork protectors - do you mean the crash bars or crash bungs? Bars you can get OEM, eBay if you're really lucky or Hepco and Becker do some. Crash bungs - can't help there I'm afraid

    Welcome to the forum - you really a Saffa?
    A US firm called T-Rex does crash-bungs - actually axle sliders; I have some and am glad I do, as crashing on dirt can get unpredictible, but on the tar you'd be unlucky to damage the forks.
    Fitting the factory crash-bars at home is part of the initiation rites to Caponord ownership and also forms part of the test for Mensa membership...

    The appropriate number of cylinders for any motorcycle is two.

    My local (If you can call 60kms away local) Aprilia dealer is "da man". I can get most stuff from him.

    The part of the pleasure of owning a Capo is finding that rare or odd little part from the most unlikely of places.
    eg: Top box came from Greece. was designed for a Pegaso, but with a different rack, fits like a glove. (It's a wee bit smaller than the OEM Caponord model, but what the hey!)

    Anyone want a H&B Pegaso luggage rack????
    Ride it like its stolen

    Adam, you should be talking to Peter at ScreensForBikes (somewhere north of the city - Fawkner maybe?) He does a fantastic product for 200 - any colour, any size.
