You can get these off an rs125 as well. Our 125 has been sold now but i kept the tank prop and the holding clip, which fits perfectly in the machined hole on our subframes (left side under seat hump)

Bugger just missed the last one.
Then again just bought a gear lever and linkage, whilst browsing.
Botched mine with a thin washer to help take up the free play to get it through the MOT a couple of weeks ago.
Actually the botch worked very well, the change is so much nicer now, should never have let it get that bad.
So thanks anyway Andy!!

Is the prop really necessary on a Falco? On the Fut, the tank stays up by virtue of the friction in the mount/pivot at the rear of the tank. If worried about vibration shaking it down, put a block of wood underneath (picked that up form Griff).

The Falco tank won't stay up without something to support it.

Thats wierd mine doesn't without the prop it would just fall down, and the prop doesn't work very well once the airbox is out so i now tie it up the the roof of my garage :)

When in use, you stick one end into one of the holes in the bracket that secures the front of the tank and the other goes in the hole in the top yoke fixing.
When not in use, it goes under the passenger seat - original ones came with fixing clips mine just slots in to a gap in there.

Same here ..... you need to remove it when propping the tank .....
though you've probably figured that for yourself
