Anyone fitted a standard hugger from an RSV? I know the swingers are different, but was just wondering, one available on our NZ auction site :)

BTW, I am just lovin the Falco, possibly the best bike owned so far! ? I do miss the availability of all the bling in the UK tho, but I just love our weather and roads lol. oops, sorry guys.
Arse! Its raining

As far as I know its almost impossible to fit the hugger from the RSV as there is no where for the hugger to mount to on the Falco swinging arm, plus I don't think it would work in that position
Good excuse to fit the Mille swinging arm though I reckon

Wont fit, no way, not even with a Nooj special tool

Some of the best custom work comes through the desire to beat the seemingly impossible, but I reckon you'd have your work cut out with that one though

I've fitted one - it was quite simple once I'd fitted the correct adapter .............................

D-Rider! you bugger, you had me goin for a second or 2 there!
Ah well, suppose I'll have to fork out for an NWS thingy wotsit instead, too many bits to get! too little money and now its raining here!
I couldn't find the Falco belly pan on the Skidmarx site, anyone know where to get them?

call skidmarx - i think you will find they have them in stock but are not necessarily in their catalogue

I have an NWS hugger on mine, not sure if they will ship to you but possibly worth a try, as they do say contact them for a quote for overseas shipping.

Think I may have to get one, in the fastest colour of course

all this new folk realising that black is the fastest colour brings a speck of sentiment to my eye....
i reckon howard must be welling up as he has had his black one for a lot longer than me

When I had the old Falco swingarm I had an NWS hugger in carbon fibre. It was a nice bit of kit.
Sold it on when I changed the swingarm though.

That answers my question then, was looking on their website and it said NEW hugger for 04> and just wanted to double check it was 'upto 04' not post 04...(remind you of a recent post DR??)

That does mean pre-04 ... but so many people don't understand how to use inequalities that I'd always try to check what they mean
