Remembering James Bond films where he cruises in a convertible wearing sleek leather driving gloves, I wanted a pair for my own car a few years ago. I held off due to the price and the fact that they’re not strictly necessary.

The CNC-machined, black-anodized aluminum handlebar end weights (part number 2S002339) are a perfect fit for E5+ RSV4 and Tuono V4 models. Each one weighs 59g compared to the stock 61g, with a precision-crafted circular grooves and protective plastic cap.

Kawasaki H2 SX SE comes factory-equipped with a built-in cigarette lighter socket, which isn’t very practical. I used a cigarette lighter USB adapter for a while, but that solution wasn’t ideal, mainly because it offered no protection against rain. So, I decided to install a built-in USB charger to replace the stock lighter socket.

Installing the Chigee AIO-6 Max smart riding display on a 2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100 brings a customizable tech upgrade to this hypernaked beast, complementing its stock 5-inch TFT dash. I paired it with Chigee’s Quick-Release Module for seamless swaps to my Kawasaki H2 SX SE and possibly more bikes later. The Anti-Theft Lock for Quick Release secures the display while mounted on the bike, preventing unauthorized removal.

Mixed experiences with the Garmin zūmo XT2 on my Kawasaki H2 SX SE left me seeking better options, while smartphone apps like Calimoto and Google Maps delivered much better results. Quad Lock mounts kept my phone viable as a backup, but for enhanced visibility and security on long rides, a dedicated smart display became essential. Extensive research led straight to the Chigee AIO-6 Max, perfectly suited for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on motorcycles.

Choosing the perfect tail tidy for the Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100 turned out to be more challenging than expected. With this being a new model, there weren’t many real-world photos or reviews online to help guide the decision. After narrowing down the options to three notable contenders — Top Block Racing , LighTech , and Evotech Performance — the final choice went to the British-made Evotech-Performance kit.

While searching for a license plate holder for the 2025 Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100, I spent some time on the Evotech-Performance website , fully expecting to find well-engineered solutions. What I didn’t expect was to be distracted by their pillion seat cover assembly designed specifically for the latest Tuono. Given Aprilia’s decision to emphasize the rear with pronounced aerodynamic fins, the tail section can look visually busy, so I was genuinely curious how a cleaner aftermarket solution would change the bike’s overall balance.

In the previous article of this series, I mentioned that I would write a follow-up once my boots were delivered. However, since the riding season had already started by that time, it was naturally more important to be out on the road than to write blog articles. The delivery was delayed by about ten days, but to be fair, no exact delivery date had been promised, only an approximate timeframe. While the boots were being made, I was already traveling on my Triumph Rocket 3 Storm R, using a different set of gear, so the wait wasn’t an issue.

When browsing through the official accessories catalog for my Aprilia Tuono V4 Factory 1100, I noticed the carbon front brake air ducts (part number 2S001379). However, considering their high price, I initially decided there were far more important accessories to get first, for example, an SC Project exhaust, a more discreet license plate holder, or better-looking mirrors, so I postponed the purchase. But then, I happened to find the same ducts second-hand, in like-new condition, and decided to buy them earlier than planned. The rest of the accessories are scheduled for purchase and installation during the winter, which you’ll also be able to follow here on the blog.

I enjoy dynamic riding the most, especially on winding roads, which makes a GPS device an essential part of my setup even on a naked bike. My final choice was the Chigee AIO-6, a device that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. However, since it relies on a smartphone connection, and smartphone batteries rarely last a full day of riding, it was necessary to ensure a constant power supply during trips. Fortunately, most Aprilia motorcycles, including the Tuono series, offer a factory USB socket (part number 2S001789) as a convenient solution.
