Had A Little Lie Down...Need A Few Bits As A Result

#1 Post by NickyT » Sun Apr 05, 2015 12:20 pm

Hi. Yesterday I deemed it necessary to have a little lie down while mid-lap at Rockingham. Luckily my R&G bung did its job, but I still need a few bits and EBay hasn't got everything I'm looking for. Has anyone here got any of the following please:

Genuine Brembo front brake lever
RHS front indicator
RHS R&G crash bung

My bodywork was scuffed lightly but will do for now while I polish out many of the marks and look for an immaculate set/consider something like ChipsAway. But has anyone got any bronze bodywork in VGC?

Also after a pair of race cans. Any flavour considered but the posher the better. Only one of my GPRs is damaged but I don't think they make that model any more.

Thanks very much

I have a few OEM indicators knocking around that had the wires cut and repaired when I decided that the cheap mini indicators fitted by the PO were shite, they worked fine but I replaced them with an untouched set I found cheap on eBay. I may also have an OEM brake lever somewhere. I can check what I have in the garage tomorrow.

Triumph 675 oval style Indicators are an option, they fit with minimal modification.

What is it with all these Falcos going down at the moment - that's at least 4 in the past fortnight.
Be careful out there folks and stop this trend before my insurance renewal comes round and they've reclassified the risks of Falco ownership up a few notches!

Might have an indicator somewhere.

What bodywork?
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Most critically a tailpiece (bronze) but needs to be immaculate or it would be better to get the 2" scrape in mine resprayed.

I think most of the rest will polish out.

The (Skidmarx) belly pan is also scraped. It's in black gel coat; need to decide the best thing to do. Buy a new one and sell that one? Get that one repaired?

Cheers

I had my skidmarx belly pan repaired with minimal fuss.

It cost me fifty quid including painting, the colour was panther black metallic that he had in stock and not a falco colour though.
Tolerance will be our undoing.
