Was on a run today with a few boys, going pretty much flat out up a straight road trying to keep with a zx10, came to a dip in the road to c zx10 in a blaze of sparks and shortly later myself doing a travis pastrana impression, anyways bottomed out the falco, when i checked it after the downpipes under bike are dented and cracked, i could weld the pipes, but would prefer to replace them since there dented, now would rsv downpipes or exhaust system fit the falco?? could've been worse zx10 cracked the sump and was trailored home!!!
Also they say the falco has a de tuned rsv/tuono lump, what exactly have they changed? ecu? Cheers for any help!!!

you would need to also change the oil tank, oil cooler - though that can be worked round

also, your falco exhausts will not fit

finally if you have a belly pan fitted you will have to adapt or modify it ....

Falco is 2 in 2 system, RSV or Tuono is 2 in 1.

Changing oiltank to RSV/tuono one is a must, oil cooler is an option (it is best to change the cooler as well though).

Mille/Mille-R will fit but the new style RSVR won't - the flanges that bolt to the cylinder head use a different number of bolts.

You also need a Mille swinger to fit an Mille 2-1 exhaust system

.... Or some mods to the pipework - I think some have gone down that route (though why bother when you can fit the Mille swinger)

Correct, but you can only mod a very early Mille collector. The one you see the most is not very easy to mod.

That makes sense - the join of the pipes is effectively earlier in the old pipes - so a longer joined section to fiddle with.
