for some more bling

if it goes right, I am going to be doing another mod that may well be copied by other falco pilots....

Obviously this is currently work in progress, but I thought I would post up and see if any one can guess what my evil fettling mind is up to this time

(It really is amazing how bored I get travelling home from wisbechistan in rush hour traffic..... needless too say I have made some phone calls and will hopefully source the crafts person on monday evening)

so - what am I up to this time?

You're going to change that bent up old swingarm for one of the trick new straight ones ???

Ditch those heavy wheels and go for the full hovercraft conversion ?

Fit an FS1E engine (and pedals) ?

Build an Aquabike to cross the Channel ?

In a fit of insanity, paint it yellow ?

Drum brakes and hand gearchange ?

Kickstart option ?

Add a centre-stand ?

Dustbin Fairing?

Oh no - I think I've got it .... you've been speaking to Biker Gran and are going to "Trike" it !

Come on Pete, don't keep us in suspenders!

Turbo conversion?
Take out the Rotax unit and fit an HRD Vinnie to make it look more classic?
Could follow this by a second project, putting the Falco engine into a Vinnie, the best Vinnies were also BLACK.

Well, if that's a clue, it'a a nitrous conversion!

You're going to lend it to Gio to remodel for you?

No it's just a legacy from that bang on the head last year!

Then again that could just be a good guess.

Turbo + supercharger + nitrous oxide

And no brakes!

You're going to put a harley engine in it, cover it in leather, chrome and tassles, start wearing a dress and have people call you Glenda.

I believe he's been doing the last bit for a while now.

lots of good ideas :)

but, time to put you out of your misery

i have been looking at high exhausts and that got me thinking - i like the idea and look, but they are not practical for carrying a pillion and luggage

SO

I got creative and realised that I have a perfectly good set of blue flame end cans

and I worked out how I can suspend them safely

so, on monday I am off to meet a chap who, hopefully, will be making me some pipes to go from the existing down pipes, up to mount the exhausts under the seat/saddle

I think that this will cost around 50 quid all in

so, when going touring etc I can use the cans as normal, for normal blatting around, I put the high pipes on

I really am surprised no one else has done this... but, I reckoned it worth a punt
