Hi all,

Can we fit the a/m swingarm to our falco? Just curious, I know the running gear has to be fitted as well. Guess, the shock connection points are critical, if they need rewelding, that would be a job for NASA

In my experience, almost anything can be made to fit into / onto anything else. Whether it's a successful marriage is another question...

The first step would be to get out a measuring tape / rule and find the dimensions of the 1098 'arm and compare with the Falco frame. Only then can you start looking at shock absorber mounting points, etc.

Maybe do some work with PhotoShop beforehand, just to get an idea of what it would look like.

I think a custom down pipe maybe required. Not looked at the 1098 swingarm so not sure which side the shock fits.

Why

Hi all,

In reply to anzac, seen a gold powder-coated one on fleebay, and thought about a single-sided setup. Seen one on a mille online ages ago, looked quite smart and different of course

Will go up too M+S on the hill (Local Bike area) and take my tape measure with me....

Have a man that can do the exhaust mod and he can weld ally as well

The speedo pick up might be another issue you need to consider, but it would look pretty sweet

it should be made illegal to fit ducati parts to Aprilias..

Hi all,

Yes, speedo might be a problem. Kwackerz, some duc parts are cheaper for our bikes sometimes But, I kinda understand your statement....

Picking my painted plastics up today Went with a good colour methinks, subtle is the word. Are you guys down south/midlands meeting up next month?
