back_marker..heres some pics. The more i lokk at it the more I like it, makes the front end look lighter and more agressive. I think its practically new as there is not a mark on it. Is yours in good condition? Let me know what you think.

Nice lookin' bike, Pete... And that is quality carbon fibre. Give it another week or so and you'll be keeping the CF one and withdrawing the offer...

nod

as i suspected - another one has been assimilated into the falcoborgmassive

mind you, I can relax a little as I appear to have found a brand new carbon fibre bellypan for around 300 quid :)


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...

300 notes :smt119 feck thats a sixth of what i paid for my bike. Step away from the dremel/hacksaw (I'm trying to sound sophisticated...cant remember the last time I used a dremel/hacksaw...angle grinder with diamond tipped blade is my weapon of choice, every time)
Good luck mate and lets see some pics...or is it top secret :smt003

Hmmmmm. Jury is most definitely out at the mo. I think that looks good on your bike as it is now, however I also have a blue bellypan and am seriously thinking about having the mid panels painted to match as well so I think I may have to stick with maximum blueness.

Aside from which I am off camping on Salisbury plain for a few weeks and have left it until the last minute to pack the essentials let alone doing anything else.

I think I may have to politely decline, apologies if I got your hopes up for no reason. :smt009

Pete, tell me more about this mystery other bellypan - I want an easy solution but I don't like the look of the Pifkee one (sorry Peter - I do appreciate your efforts in making it - just a personal preference here)
