Oh dear, I have just begun the decimation of the credit card

Where will it end? And I have only ridden the bloody thing for about 20 miles so far due to weather and work commitments.

RSV Ohlins shock just bought on ebay. Just hope it fits. From a 99/00 model apparently.

Never mind, it is Christmas after all.

Cheers

Nice - I don't think you'll regret it

The first step on the slippery slope.
Happy Christmas Pete, you won't regret it.
Might even get some nice weather to go out and play, was really nice in South Yorkshire today.

I know the feeling, I have stuck on or altered more thing than I've ridden it.
However I managed to do 200 odd miles over the weekend.

Cheers Guys

Why are these bikes so addictive and underated?

I am changing things before I have found fault with the original part.

Power of this forum, me thinks.

Merry Christmas to you all.

Cheers

I must be the voice of (in)sanity, then.

All I've done to mine is add the rear hugger and change the rear shock to a yellow-spring Mille unit.

That's because it's much more domestically friendly to spend someone else's money than our own

BTW, your new shock will bolt straight in.

I started with the rear hugger,
Then the belly pan,
Then the rear shock, older Mille White spring in my case
Then the Beowulf titanium cans and K&N kit.
Then the changed gearing.
Then the side stand swap (eBay item for me).
Then the exclusive smoked rear lens and red LED bulbs.
Plus assorted smaller items like uprated headlight bulbs, but seem to be finally slowing down now.

I think all the improvements have been worthwhile, but still loved the bike when I first got on it!

Merry Christmas Pete.

Hmm... interesting to reflect on what order we all did our mods - given that most have done similar things - as I guess it might show our priorities. Then again, maybe I've just got too much time on my hands at work at the mo

Anyway, for the record:

Rene Cans
15T front sprocket
White Spring shock
Dip Beam mod
HiD headlight
Mille swing arm
Hugger
DB Screen
FP Chip
Evo airbox
Nooj Leds
Mini indicators
Ohlins rear shock
Belly pan
MPS Clutch slave
Smoked rear lens
OZ wheels

Hmm.. better not let SWMBO see this list - she still thinks the bike is standard

it's got the standard engine...

Is this anything like Mrs. Viking saying the same thing?

I doubt it very much ..... if Mrs Viking is anything like Mrs D-Rider, she would not be encouraging you to spend any time or money making your falco any better or more personalised than the day you first brought it home.

Now you try and convince your Missus that she should still be wearing the same pair of shoes that she had on when you first met and see how far you get

Dave ..... great idea but for the small problem that I can't really remember the order in which I changed things .... but it goes something like this .... just not necessarily in this order :

• Meta Alarm
  Skidmarx bellypan (removed when 2:1 exhaust fitted but now fitted again)
  15t front sprocket
  Fenda Extenda
  Scottoiler
  RSVR Ohlins shock & linkage
  Gixer sidestand
  Carbon hugger (for Falco swinger removed now Mille swinger fitted ... ah that reminds me - I need to contact the person with first dibs on it)
  QD seat fixings
  Nooj LED tail light
  Greg D smoked rear lens
  Double bubble screen
  Mount & power supply for navigation system
  MPS clutch slave
  HID headlight (dip beam)
  Headlight wiring mod
  Heated grips
  PCIII
  K&N filter
  DENSO Iridium plugs
  RSV swingarm (with hugger/chainguard etc)
  RSV oil tank (now removed to fit RSVR oil tank)
  RSV 2:1 exhaust

  RSV oil cooler

Obtained and waiting to be fitted:

• Ohlins forks
  Oz wheels
  Led indicators
  Tail tidy ... got the ally ... just got to make it now.
  Mille Bellypan & Tombaa-style sidepanels .... which will take some work ... but I've got the bits I need.

Not included luggage etc and I expect I've forgotten something or other.

My mrs thinks mine's standard too
