Hmmm, could be tempted assuming it will fit a Falco, what sort of price are you after?

It will fit a Falco also RSV 1000 and Tuono according to the sheet

Would like £120 packaging and postage is included in the price cheers bob

Looks like it fits between the bottom of the headstock and the top of the bottom yoke, is that right (just making sure I know what to do with it)?

broadly speaking yes mate :)

as you look at the front of the bike, then the bottom left side of the triple yoke you will see a thread going down - that is where the bar mounts to. The central part is just above the clip for retaining the front brake line

http://apriliayorkshire.co.uk/catalogue ... e=Steering has a decent diagram.

You can get at this area with small hands and removing the cover that covers the bottom of the triple yoke - you will need an extension socket though!

All told I reckon if you have all the parts, about 30 minutes should see it fitted

As far as i am aware the body fits on the bottom of the fairing bracket (the big chunckey piece) and the rod fits to the bottom yoke

but i will check tonight

on the above diagram, look for the left hand side #12 bolts - they screw into the bottom right triple yoke - if you look closely at the diagram, immediatly above those is an extruded section that is threaded to take bolt #13 after it has passed through #23 and #14.
The central part is secured to the headstock

Some people just have too try and squeeze that little bit extra out of you when they know there onto a good thing anyway!

Squeezy-squeezy

PM me your payment details then and I'll get a cheque off to you. Can do PayPal if you'd rather, but they'd want a cut as well remember.

You do realize that i wasnt agreeing to the £100 pounds offer dont you and that the price is still £120 Just thought i would clear this up before we went any further ( but cheque is fine )

Nooj · #14 Post by **Nooj** » Thu May 22, 2008 10:48 am

Yep, £120 it is

I fitted mine according to that diagram and it trashed the mounting bracket for the instrument cluster.

Happy days.

So I removed it and now I have a very flighty Falco but I just love it.
