Accessories for the Aprilia RST 1000 Futura

The Aprilia RST 1000 Futura is a sports tourer made for time on the road, from a day of bends to a longer journey. That mix of riding makes it worth thinking about what matters most on your own journeys before choosing parts. A trip with luggage or a pillion puts different demands on your attention than a short ride for pleasure, even if you take the same roads. The accessories listed here focus on two practical areas for this bike: braking and filter maintenance. Both deserve thought when you want to keep enjoying the miles rather than treating every ride as an isolated outing.

What riders usually fit to the Aprilia RST 1000 Futura

With this bike, the relevant choices are closely tied to how often you travel and the sorts of roads you cover:

• Brakes: braking matters on a flowing road with repeated bends as well as on the approach to a junction after a long stretch of motorway. It is also something to consider when your Futura carries a passenger or luggage. The brake parts available for this model let you give that aspect of riding proper attention, whether most of your miles are spent on weekend routes or on longer trips that combine several kinds of road.
• Filters: touring miles add up, and maintenance is easier to plan when you think about it before the next journey. Filters are relevant if you use the Futura for regular road trips, but they also belong on the list when occasional long rides are mixed with shorter outings. They are a practical choice for looking after the bike between trips, without assuming that every owner rides the same distance or follows the same routine.

Your usual routes are a useful starting point for deciding whether braking or the next round of maintenance needs your attention first.
