Hello,

I've owned a falco for over a year now and have been loking occasionally at this forum for hints and tips. I've also caught the bug for tasteful mods and I'm looking for a CF belly pan. I'm sure that I saw a meber talking about running a mould for this but can't seem to find it. Anyone have a link?

I've got an 05 in Bronze/Black. I must say I'm well chuffed with her. Had a run to Nurburgring last summer and planning same this year with a stop in Amsterdam. She has Ohlins rear shock and CF Quill cans.

I've since bought Aprilia luggage, new side stand, baglux tank cover (from forum member and tail tidy.

I think that the CF belly pans look the biz. But are a quite rare so was keen to find one.

Cheers

Thanks D rider. Finally found it on AF forum see link below. There's also one on ebay from Estonia. Although it's not CF it does look pretty good

Thanks fellas,

Nurburgring was a great trip. I enjoyed the riding in the Eifel region better than riding the ring itself. The ring is a good experince but a bit scary considering you have cars and bikes and anthing else that is roadworth racing round the same track at the same time! Planning a similar run this year in June with a stop off in Amsterdam and a few nights in the Eifel region. Found a great motorcycling map that covers some great roads. Not got any photos to post but aren't sure how you post them on here.

Welcome to the forum.
I think it was you thanks. I dropped on a nice baglux delta bag to go with the tank cover from ebay. Looking forward to getting the Falco all kitted up for teh tour. Also go the Aprilia panniers. Used a tail pack last year and was a pain getting it on and off, I'm a bit paranoid about the paint being rubbed off.

Welcome dazzler - I've not ridden the Ring but did visit there on bike tour a couple of years ago. It looked scary , loads of cars, 4x4, even tour buses circulating and many didn't seem to have much track etiquette......or skill !!!
I agree there are some amazing roads winding through the hills and forests in that region. Apart from the Alpine passes it was the best part of our trip.
