My Falco has a quality carbon fibre mudguard in perfect condition but I tend to like my bikes standard. Anyone have a standard blue one that would like to do a straight swap? I guess, if not, I'll have to buy a new one and sell the carbon one on here or ebay. PM me if interested.
oops...expect this will be moved to classifieds or aprilia items for sale

first dibs on the CF one if you have to sell it!

I believe that the 125 front mud guard also fits btw - unsure as too look though

if no blue ones are available, you may have to get another colour and paint it - few on evil bay i think

Ok, thanks. A new factory colour coded one is £168. What would the carbon fibre one be woth to you?

Sam - he's more than welcome here we like things that are different and a standard Falco would be pretty unique.

Besides, assuming that the previous owner has made some changes, I've a stack of standard parts that I can offload - maybe offering a discount of about 25% off Aprilia's RRP.

• Blue Spring shock
  Aprilia Sidestand
  16t sprocket
  Standard cans
  Swingarm
  Wheels (well not changed over yet but coming soon)
  Red tail light
  Two Falco oil tanks
  Oh a few other things too

..... if only I'd not worn out those standard MEZ3 tyres

new cf front mudguard is about 100 beer vouchers, so probably 60 quid plus postage

BUT

knowing what us falco owners are like, i would honestly say keep it - you may like your bike standard but the bug may strike at any point

i have kept all my original parts, bar the exhausts that i used on project trike last night..... and yes, this is sort of the first time I have revealed another fettling project I am doing :)

but if £60 is acceptable, drop me a pm and see what we can sort out - and would obviously wait for a month or so until you source acquire another one

I'd happily let it go for £60 inc p+p Aladadinsaneuk.
Would prefer a swap for a blue standard one if possible, so if we could sit tight for a while to see if anything turns up.

I'm trawling ebay for blue falco mudguards now so that I can play "swap shop"

What colour blue do you want, I'm off to Halfords now for a £4.99 can of spray for my bronze mudguard so we can swop

p.s. welcome

swop shop...those were the days any blue...just no childrens felt pen jobs
Thanks for the welcome

and all the cheapskates on the forum come out with their rattle cans .... all jealous because I was awake early enough!

and no worries, see if you can source a blue one, and no hurry time wise - I have another project on atm so it can keep

would it be easier for me to find a full compliment of chickens teeth preserved in unicorns tears

I have a blue Falco complete with standard front mud guard and was originally about to jump at your offer, but on further consideration I'm not sure I would like how it looks.

Any chance of some piccies of it fitted and we may be able to do a deal.

Hi mate...i'm not trying to get rid of the mudguard because its no good. It is great quality and fits like a glove, to be honestI saw photos of the bike when before I bought it and never noticed...it looks like it should be there. Ive never been a big fan of CF bits (awaits a miriad of abuse) and have always removed CF tope yoke covers etc. Will go and take some pics now in the garage, if I can fit, the Hornet 600 is still there waiting to be sold
