Streetfighter. And Hi

#1 Post by tommy » Mon May 26, 2008 4:43 pm

Howdy all! :smt006 I've turned to the dark side, after years of riding jap bikes, I went and bought myself a falco!
Quick question, anyone know where i can find the factory streetfighter fairing for it? I've searched high and low on the net and can't find anything, and not keen on tuono fairing.

Also, I'm guessing im possibly the youngest falco owner now (22 this wednesday)

hmmmm 22 ?

and you like to fettle..... ooo lovely

Please give us your bank card details so we can help you spend - we are VERY good at it

don't get us started on the colour thing - you will start the normal torrent of flames....
Before you start looking at rene bits, please make sure you have sorted the side stand out....

and finally, enjoy :)


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...

Side stand was first thing i did, bought US spec one from AF1 racing. Works a treat, vast improvment. Next will be the shock, and then stick baffles back in cans, neighbours aren't quite giving me cheery waves at 7am as I leave for work :smt005
But if anyone has any ideas on how i should start fiddling, feel free to point me in right direction

Well if you don't want loud then don't fit Rene cans or airbox, cos it makes it sound like Concorde on afterburner. :smt003

I like induction noise, so will be removing airbox soon, as not to bad when warming up the bike. Never been fan of loud exhausts though, means everyone can hear when I stall or find a false neutral. (Still getting used to v-twin ya see, always had 4 cyls) haha

You must have single handedly dropped the average age of this forum by about a week. We seem to be a bunch of crumbly old gits. Not me of course :smt003 .

Welcome and good luck with the spanners, try to come up woth something innovative so I can copy it :smt002
