Well, long story short: crashed Falco (lightly), finished (nearly) Fighter project, no garage or shed for storage, wife moaning ("what's this lump of metal doing in our bath!?"), moving to Eastern Europe shortly, me in need of cash for PC3 custom map and a paint job.

Summing up: busy weekend!

Rising funds, gentlemen! If you want to give me an offer on anything, let me know.

Recommendations for today: Convertibars! And a tank bag.

Follow the white rabbit:

hmmmm

the tuono exhaust - will that fit an early, 1999-2003 mille?

does it include the connecter pipe to the downpipes/collector box?

and please pm me with what you are looking for it..... i have no idea what such standard items make as i assume that most people put on an aftermarket pipe straight away.....

(And yes, I think it would end up considerably shorter than it is now - probably just the aprilia racing part would survive my surgery....)

Buell footpegs (modified already)

One more tasty bit of kit! Buell footpegs, modified to fit.

Don't want to put them on eGay, 'cos they won't be appreciated.

If you remove bobbins, you won't scratch them on the road, you will on the track if you drag your knees.

If you're clever, the stock springs will work as well, so it's just a matter of putting them on, really. And adjusting your levers to suit.

As new condition (have been on the bike for approx 50 miles), I replaced them with adjustable items (at least twice as expensive), just to find that the best position is exactly the same as Buell's... But the new ones look trickier, so they stay.

They cost me 30 quid delivered + a lot of filing. I ask for 25 + postage and trust me, you wouldn't like to do the filing bit yourself, unless you are into black latex and handcuffs.

ON HOLD FOR TWEAKER! Thank you.

This is a really good mod if you need more leg room. And you're getting a lot more of it. No more numb limbs or hurting knee for me, thank you very much.

Edit: first to pm gets them.

Here is the difference:

Sorry Paul but I DO want them - although I'd agree that your legs are definitely longer than mine, mine are much older :smt009

Pretty cheap mirrors, too.

And the winner is *drummmmm* Falco swinger at 22 :smt019

I had one eye on the mirrors but as it is the left one I need and yours was scratched I held back.

Bizarre how these right hand mirrors get damaged. You would expect it to be the lefts. No idea how mine was done - previous owner and all that.

Another few things found here and there:

Very nice high quality Hein Gericke jacket:

Awesome stock oil tank:

Very good condition rear plastic (Flamingo Rosso):

And...a fantastic trike in Britten colours. All here: http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/diatrybauk

Edit: There will also be a PC3 available (bought here from the Forum member last year, can't remember who it was?). Full working order, some scratches on face from the way it was mounted (got it that way). I paid for it 175 and would like to get a similar quote back. It worked well even without a custom map, just tweaked a few standard ones. Pretty rewarding process :smt004
