Just called up skidmarx and they're going to send me samples of grey tint (10%), dark grey tint (40%) and complete black. I'll make a decision what I want (I imagine it'll be 40%) and then order soon after :)

I assume this is what they now call 40% is you can see through it.

Funny you should ask that... I'm also interested in getting one and will probably order one tomorrow from...

...wait for it... :smt020

skidmarx.co.uk

They only do them in gloss black (called them up today and said its a proper finish and can be polished up) and they are called "lower fairings" on their website :smt017

They're £130 + £7.50 delivery

It's the Skidmarx one, mentioned on a different post yesterday.

Just noticed a red Falco like mine on eBay with what appears to be a black skidmarx belly pan... got to be honest, I don't like the look of it on the bike so will probably, for now, leave her the way she is :smt003

Will still be ordering a db screen though, in the 40% tint :)

Just curious - are are there any stability issues with a DB screen on the Falco? My Fut had an extended screen fitted when I bought it; I felt it was inducing a bit of instability above about 85 - 90 (and it was hideously ugly); that disappeared when I fitted a standard screen.

Not even on the fast ones


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...
