@@HotSizzleTV_ I’d go Monster. Overall quality is better.

The old fairing kit the previously owner put on has 750 badges on it. Apparently, he didn't know the kit would have those badges. Its a 600 though.

It won't accept my card, tried 3 different cards

It’s from R&G. It comes with integrated turn signals. I love it!

Thw whole install was tedious. There was a lot of fitup then remove for trimming or adjustment, then re-fitting. It took a while but everything fit well with the exception of the rear tail lights.

If you went Auctmarts you'll probably be fine. They're just a little cheaper quality. I have been having some issues with their paint though. The green is showing some weird orange underneath, and all the black has permanent water spots now (the black was not clear coated).

At that time I had just gotten the initial service done at 600 miles. The chicken strips show I was being very "cautious" aka a wuss. Things are different now.

Thank you! Good luck with your kit!

Time travel huh

@@PissMissile-RR meant to type 15 that’s mahhh bad.

@@Crimsanee all good, I was joking

Good idea. I'll give it a shot!!

The process of fitting everything up properly does take forever. I ended up doing everything over the course of 3 days. It took about 10 hours total. If I have to do it again, I bet I could cut that time in half. One month in, and the fairings are holding up well. My bike is driven to work everyday, and the winter weather and ran hasn't messed up the fairing as all. Thanks for watching!

I got my fairings in November 2023, and I ride mostly on clear and nice days. My fairings still looks new after a few months and I don't have a shelter to put it in, I just use 2 bike covers. Now the belly pan on mines has warped from the exhaust even though they sent me thermal heat shielding. I bought and added extra thermal tape. So for anybody wanting these fairings, keep in mind to buy and add ceramic fiber and extra thermal tape or just extra heat shielding like the video. Thanks Scott for the awesome video! It's very helpful and informative for people looking to get new fairings.

I'm right there with you! Mine are holding up well so far!

Much appreciated!

Thanks! The Aprilia is my favorite. I got the GXSR mostly for the track but I'm keeping it street legal because it's a lot of fun to ride.

It was difficult and did take a long time. I had to be very careful. They have that rough Zinc coating on them as well as thread locker which really makes removing them a pain. They sell little covers that go over where the pegs attached before. It makes for a really clean look in the back.

No problem man! The Auctmart fairings are way better looking, but the Monster are better quality. Its such a tough choice. Good luck in your search!

Fitting them up is a pain for sure. I've seen videos about Auctmarts and Monster on their own, but never where they were directly compared. Sorry your experience with Monster!

Thanks for the feedback. I like the way mine turned out, just wish they would start with higher quality plastics. We'll see how they hold up at the track this year. Good luck with your kit!

The exahust is a little too loud for me, but it does sound awesome. The Gabro maps are supposedly a little better than the race map, but it sounds like you have your bike pretty dialed in with the Akra and race map.

I believe they are the clear Eazi-Grip tank grips. With the clear you end up seeing any air bubbles that get trapped but you can still see the Aprilia logo on the tank, which is what I was going for. The grips work well though.

Not yet. I just got a RaceBox Mini to track stuff like that. I'm mostly trying to get lap times at the track, but I can check 100-200 times as well. Unfortunately winter is here, so it will have to wait a few months.

Pros - Super fast, excellent handling, no issues with the bike so far. Cons - Parts availability, cost of bike/parts. Best Upgrades - SC Projects exhaust, Gabro ECU maps. Thanks for watching.

Mine gets hot but never over 225 F. I've heard everyone say that their Aprilia's run hot. Gabro maps have the electric fan turn on 5 degrees cooler so that is supposed to help.

You roll with OEM or something like DNA or K&N?

I had the original air box with a paper filter. However, sand got there. This can be sealed with silicone. I decided to buy a gabbro air box to increase the power next year. After driving about 1000 km using gabbro air and a sprint filter, it turned out that this filter allowed dust to pass through. I had dust all over the filter housing. I bought a bottom filter, installed it a week ago and it seems to be ok. I had a K&N filter but on a KTM motorcycle and I think the bottom filter is better made. If you want photos, give me your e-mail address and I will send you.

Thank you random internet person. Your opinion definitely matters to me.

Why not?? Better feel better sound it is worth it not everybody has to go to a track you clown Karen 😂😂 go back to your cave or whatever

Really well. Highly recommend it. I've done a few track days and couldn't be happier.

It does get very hot, but has not overheated. It's an Aprilia problem in general. From what I've heard, they are made to ride/race, not to commute or sit in traffic. That being said, an ECU map with better fueling and removal of the charcoal canister and servo motor can free up some space behind the radiator and allow for better airflow. It has kept my temps down to the low 200's (degrees F), but I usually turn the bike off if I'm in traffic.

@@scottoutdooradventures2779 That sums up my conclusion....the new radiator actually is an improvement.

I turn my 2023 factory (no mods) off in traffic as well! Not in traffic much but no problem to shut er down!@@scottoutdooradventures2779

The UpMap is amazing! On/off throttle is much smoother now and power delivery is more linear. The SC exhaust has a bracket that mounts to the rearset. I got lazy and didn't film every step.

I'm taking it to the track in two days. I'm so excited!

Aprilia gives 4 year warranty?

@@Sanisani9 2+2, yes...

@corneliuvaleanu5845 That's cool, I got a 1-year factory warranty because it's the R model. Other models get 2 years and then extended warranty 2 years, so I have in total 3 years.

It was! Only thing I would do different is get a different exhaust. Love shorties but I wish I had gotten an exhaust with a baffle.

@@scottoutdooradventures2779 Is it too loud? Also goodbye to warranty with Upmap.

@@MotorcycleThrottle to be honest it is a little too loud. And as far as the warranty, it is what it is.

Met a guy with a shorty from another brand (?). Sounded awsome but was way too loud! I am thinking about an Arkra - By the way how much was the airbox (is this from Gabro as well, or does he sell them?) @@scottoutdooradventures2779

@@MotorcycleThrottle The UpMap or the exhaust does not effect the warranty.

Why do you care?

Try to stop me from doing it and see what happens

Thanks Dad!

Thanks man. The last push to the summit was about a 70 degree angle or so. Little bit of a pucker factor involved.

@@scottoutdooradventures2779 Wow, talk about a stair-stepper ...I knew it was steep bc if it looks ever so slightly steep in the video, its incredibly steep IRL. GoPro is an amazing camera but the fisheye kills a lot of the intensity. That summit looked beyond incredible. well done sir.

Road is gone. It’s just a trail now. Beautiful post apocalyptic look up there now with road signs overgrown and such. ❤
