Hi everyone,

Looking to know how high the standard tuono bar risers are? :smt017 I have bought a set on ebay to mod the falco to a more upright position, but they seem very high :smt017

Regards

high enough that you haver to radically alter a falco fairing for them to fit.....


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...

You'll need to get the hacksaw out and chop some bits of fairing and screen away. Expect to see nothing but knuckles in your mirrors after fitting it :-)

Nooooooooo - please no chopping of good but increasingly scarce Falco plastics (find some old, damaged parts to modify)
