Still ticking along, the plastic prototype needs a bit of fettling, I tried it on the bike this week, took a load of photos and e-mailed them back.

Working like the proverbial dog, matey! No rest fer the wicked as they say.

Spare time is rapidly becoming rarer than rocking horse poo, but rest assured I still pop in now n again!

Still got the Falco, (duh!), n Im currently experimenting with my latest bling; A PC3 from the US, ( cost me bout £160 brand new!).

So many degrees of adjustment, but Im damned if Im gonna pay £100 or more to have some monkey in overalls sort it for me, (at least not until I completely bollox-up the fueling!

).

A few steps closer...

The Greek from over on AF1 lent them his bike for a bit to get the final fit right and I've made some fine tweaks to the brackets here. I sent the prototype bellypan and the brackets back today, so all being well the next step is to put them into production, GRP in white (not black) gel coat or carbon fibre if you like. I'll let you all know when they're ready to hit the streets.

just wanted to point out to d rider, that i could, if i want too, buy one of these CF belly pans, as the faster coloured falcos, with the silver oil tanks, can fit them.....\

you may proceed Mr Hacksaw

Even more pissed off now.

F-ing ebay.

I'd been stalking THIS

.... yep a carbon mille bellypan, no bids on it, sitting at £30 (though I'm sure I'd have had to pay a bit more), a little damage but not where it matters, due to finish at 8pm on 14th Oct (today).
That would mean me having to bid at 4am on 15th Japan time .... but worth the effort.

Then this morning .... "Bidding has ended" WTF. The explanation being "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale"

This isn't the first time I've had this happen either

Fair enough if it was on a Buy it Now .... but it wasn't.
Surely ebay should have some rule against this ......

OK people, as seen on AF1... here they are, the numbers you've all been waiting for... I give you... THE PRICES!!!!!!!!!

We now have 2 wet layup belly pan fairings ready. Steve is keen to paint one in black as an alternative to carbon. The price of the wet layup fairings is £110.00 (unpainted), or £150.00 finished in black paint.

The pre-preg carbon cost will be £195.00

All prices include the metal brackets but exclude VAT.

VAT for the Euro-types is 17.5%, any non-EU folk won't have to pay this, but will be lumbered with a shipping cost of about three million GB pounds.

Right, I've done my bit. If you have any questions or want to place an order...

John at a-mel is now the dood to get in contact with.

john.bewley@a-mel.co.uk

Mention that you're from one of the Falco forums, you won't get a discount, but he'll know where his sales are coming from and it may entice him into generating some other carbon bits for us :D
