That doesn't sound good, Pete.
I presume you're returning it to a more original condition then?
Unless you need to turn it all into cash then I guess options are:
- Flog the goodies & keep the bike
Flog the bike and keep the goodies until you can get another one

Bloody hell Alad!
Hope you get a decent price for it as it is one of the more fettled firebreathing Falcos on the Site.. UK.. Europe...
The development work thats gone into it is probably worth as much as the bike..

That sounds a bit drastic Pete, obviously something major, so I respect your decision and hope you can sort things quickly.
Do you still have time to put it back to standard and sell the modded bits off, as that would obviously be the best way?
Good luck either way, and if there is anything we can help with, let us know and we'll do our best.

Dealers huh !
I'd have probably even gone to £850 for it myself ... and that's with my own knowledge of it's history, poorly executed modifications and the fact that it's one of those awful, slow black(ish) ones.

I've been wondoring about that for a while, but assumed you'd done it under the influence of beer.

Try it with a couple of pickled onions first to get a feel for it, bet you can't do it without wincing and cringing.
