On my bike?
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

Looks as though you have to fit a set of ape-hangers first ..... a Fonda-friendly-Falco .......

funny how much the scent of vulture shite seems to be wafting around this thread now....
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...

Yep, the RSVR mirrors are off, they look nice and work well as indicators, but are all but useless as mirrors now I've put (Fonda) Renthals on as well. All I could see in them was my knuckles and reservoirs. These are only a cheapy set from eBay I'm trying out, if I get on with them I'll sell the RSVR ones on (plus Falco adapters!) and put the proceeds towards some sexy Rizoma mirrors to go where these ones are now. They bolt onto the fairing framework at the sides of the clocks and were a right pain in the ass to get on! However, when sat on the bike they aren't obscured by any thing! I can see behind me on both sides under the bars past my waist (or where my waist would be if I ate less pies).

Crickey - only just noticed - you do seem to have it set up in slow steering mode.

Steering's plenty fast enough with the OZ's on it. Mate's R1 steered like a Fatboy in comparison :-s

Mine's got the OZs on at present - with max ride height at the rear, 4 rings at the front - that's fairly sharp ... but not as much as when the BSTs go on instead of the OZs.
