While I sort out some brackets for the rear of the belly pan, I've stuck the little plastic thingy on the bottom of the fairing panels. And I quite like it..

One thing though.. Where is the horn mounted on your steed? Where it's positioned on mine is preventing me from getting the piece that covers the exhaust pipe on..

Will take some snaps tomorrow if the weathers any good.

It's mounted behind the plastic thing that covers the front exhaust header.
Sounds like that's where yours is .........

Yeh.. it's goin to need moving slightly.. Where it is at the moment, when I put the panel on it pushes on the horn preventing it from working.. Will investigate another time.. Not overly fussed about it not being there at the mo..

You could do with finding someone nearby who has a Falco to have a look at how it's fitted .......

Dunno where the horn is but the button seems to be where the indicator button should be. Says something about Italian drivers.

That's interesting. 2004 onwards Falcos had a black frame and alloy swingarm. You've reversed that scheme (and swapped the standard swingarm for an inferior Mille one, but we won't talk about that)

I'll have to take the blame for that!

Still a damn fine looking bike (if I say so myself)

Yerp.. Tis Mr 9's handy work for the most part. Exhaust was added by Gio. I've got a few things in mind, but the 'normal' mods have been done.

I was thinking of stelthing the lot.. Satin black all over.. A little like the RSV-R's paint scheme.. Although keeping any kind of sattin/matt surface clean is a PITA..

.... but if you really want stealth, you can't spell it in a way that people will recognise it or it's just not stealthy enough ..........

You will note that I wasn't attempting stealth with the above comment.
