All..
The falco came with a straight bar conversion, but this fouled on the fairing so that has been cut to suit. Id like to fit an original screen so I need some clip ons to fit 53mm forks.

Plenty of options on ebay from £25-£250 But I'd rather not buy so cheap that they come loose (or worse) while in use. Any recommendations?

Renthal would be my first and only choice, really:

https://www.renthal.com/road/clipons

They do 53mm clip ons for £179 per pair.

I thought they were pricey, but then I looked at the Aprilia parts prices. Left ones, expensive but not too bad. Right one? REALLY expensive, and both out of stock. Not to mention all the other accessory parts you'd need to buy. I don't think I need to give you my advice on this, which is to buy the Renthal ones!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

A google shows many 90's Ducatis have 53mm forks. So a used set of those might fit the bill? Quite a few 749/999 ones on ebay. Also 916, 998 etc

Yep, same (Showa) forks I believe.

Why would the RHS one be almost twice the price of the LHS? Laughing
