Welcome to the site Wookie, nice to have you with us. :smt006 :smt006
You don't want an RSV unit.
There are a few made specially for the Falco.
Mine is a Skidmarx unit, although I actually bought it via RSVRNET.
They actually market a slightly different unit now.
They both fit very well and replace the small plastic wings around the bottom of the rads and oil cooler.
Had mine some time but paid around £100, and then needed to paint.
Here is a picture of mine with the Skidmarx unit fitted -

Also have a look in the Gallery Section in the Riders Site Falcos for other peoples bikes.
Personally I think the bike looks much better with the belly pan, but it will always be a personal thing and some don't like em.
Good luck with it!

Hi Wookie and wilkommen.

Great choice of bike. You won't regret it.

Save yourself £130 and leave her naked below - that's how she is supposed to look....

.......and you will need that money for all the other things like proper cans.

Are you Owen's mate? If so, I thought you already had a Falco?

And my marks for these efforts....

Bronze one - 5/10
Silver one - 3/10
Orange one - 8/10
Pierre's one - ? hard to say with the side bits missing.

and of course....

Standard Falco - 10/10

No way! :smt001

The bronze one looks like it came from the factory like that.. 10/10. Nothing wrong with the belly-pan-less Falco, but it looks more complete with a belly pan imho

It may well look like it came out of the factory like that but that don't make it right :smt009

By the way I should point out I would be happy with any of the bikes above.

I am just having a poke to see who bites :smt003

not just because i have one, but i do prefer the skidmarx one - looks more integrated I think


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...

Any reason you photographed this one reflected in a window?
