new toy :-)

Yes, I bought it from ebay.
To be honest, when i went to collect the bike..i was really disappointed. All the fasteners were rusty, the bike was really dirty, one mirror was missing...it looked a mess.
Once i got it cleaned up, im lovin it. Got ducati monster clutch/brake clamps to mount the mirrors on the renthals..very tidy.

compared to the tl v twin, this engine looks a wee bit more complicated...dry sump and all that

Just repacked the cans (feckin nightmare), and got some baffles to quieten it down a wee bit (are they always this noisy...sets car alarm off on way past)

Got the belly pan off at the moment.

Has anyone got the fairing lowers (black/grey plastic) I could buy ?

Thanks for those pics.

Screen clearance was obviously an issue hence the cut down fairing/screen.
Doesn't look too bad though.

ha ha welcome to the noisy world of Falco owneership ... my kids christened my Falco the "beast" soon after I got it when it reduced a 2 year old stand near by to tears when I started her. I also ended up getting accusing looks from a car driver in a petrol station. I was sitting behind his car at the pump while he paid when the vibrations from the Falco set off his car alarm, he came out and gave his rear dumper a good looking at much to the amusement of a crowd of Dutch bikers who were parked up. They gave me a cheer as I left!

I like the bars. I know that sinking feeling with ebay purchases, mostly been lucky but have had a couple of bikes roll of the van and I've thought S*it However, you soon turn your mind to sorting it out and can begin to enjoy I'm also new to the Falco and have had mine for 3-4 weeks. Good luck.....and dont let them coerse you into parting with cash, you can do that all by yourself. Great support and info on here
