after a bit of a mad dash to Homebase, a Mcdonalds breakfast followed by an outstanding troop, I've finally finished the cans.

took it out for a spin, and it has a rather Ducati Monster sound at idle without the tambourine clutch dink :smt003 sounds awesome on the road without being too noisy.

Looks good


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...

thankfully they provided the mountings to strap the cans, otherwise I would have been dropping you a pm to work it out. Have to say I am happy with the overall effect, and for the sake of an hours work, definitely worth the investment :smt003

Yeah - looking great - and the fighter pillion pegs work well with them too.

I'm still thinking about whether to actually fit the pillion pegs, as I don't carry pillion.

I'm not normally a big fan of high-level pipes, but yours look ace. Good work, fella. Bet they sound good too.

And big up for the herbaceousness of the borders. I did like the shot of the Falco framed in greenery...

They look really good!

(Cant really tell from the pics sam.. I reckon theyre pretty level though :smt002 :smt002 )

Out of interest does the lefthand side link pipe clear the swingarm when the suspension is compressed? Looks a bit close thats all and its a common problem when trying to get the link to come in when lining the can up
