i’m finally done! the mille has gone from it’s original form to something i think is better than an r.
so this is what changed:
| part | original | new |
| fork | showa | ohlins |
| shock | sachs | ohlins |
| wheels | brembo cast | oz forged |
| front fender | plastic | carbon fibre |
| rear hugger | plastic | carbon fibre |
| instrument cover | plastic | carbon fibre |
| rear light cluster | plastic | carbon fibre |
| under seat panels | plastic | carbon fibre |
| foot pegs | standard pegs | aprilia racing adjustable |
| heel guards | alu | carbon fibre |
| fairing side panel inserts | plastic | carbon fibre |
this is of course on top of the titanium akras and the airbox modifications: old style air boot, edwards ram air ducts. i love the gleam of the gold ohlins legs.
so this is it. i love this bike, after all these years (14 now). nothing more i could want.
unless of course there is a nice overbore kit for sale … 1060 ccm instead of 998 would be nice. maybe 57mm throttle bodies?
