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)

You mean fairing like this?

Hens teeth. Not worth it, unless you can find it second hand. And you can't. :smt009

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
