Are they still trading? I tried emailing them but the emails bounced back as undeliverable.

website has a phone number that works for them


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

That's their old website - maybe they changed their email address too.
(they moved to their new website some time ago - though the old one still seems to be there as a pointer to the new one)

This is their current website: http://www.ultimateparts.net/

This is their email address: sales@ultimateparts.net

(They are actually based in Nottinghamshire)

You don't know if the old Falco panniers and rack are still available, or am I being overly optimistic?

not new

best place i have found for sourcing them is by asking on assorted forums, and looking on german evilbay - http://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_nkw=apri ... ep%C3%A4ck has a set - along with a tail roll

(use google translate!)

Speedaway list them as 7-10 days £287.50 inc vat and delivery. Haven't tried to order any though. I saw three sets for sale last year on fleabay and forums, 90 to 140 quid.

Af1 also list them
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

Thanks all. If you see a decent set of racks and panniers come up give me a shout?

Winding Roads do a decent looking FAMSA tank bag for the Falco. That's on the chiristmas list.
