Long time no login :) Been busy with house stuff, business stuff, women stuff so havent had much time for bike stuff at all

Anyway, decided to book a trackday multi-package to try and get back into it and while checking on falco updates saw your post on af1 about 04 engine into falco and someone wanting info?
Dont think this will help - I changed whole loom including ecu which came with my engine. Wouldnt start as it didnt come with clocks as it was a front ender writeoff so had to buy them seperate from ebay. Been in a couple of years running fine.

Been looking for a race airbox, think they were 'hooked' but think i'm gonna end up sticking 2 k&n's direct onto throttlebodys? Been using standard '04 airbox but its just got a hole in the bottom as the scoops dont line up

Also - schlossers bike looks mint, like the under-engine exhausts :)

Good to hear from you :smt003

Think the thing on AF1 was a while back so hopefully whoever wanted to know is sorted by now.

I think Griff (aprilia performance) might stock Hooked airkits .... and if he doesn't any longer, can probably point you in the right direction.

Any idea whether Greg has sent his frame off to the gold-platers yet ? :smt002

Crikey - not sure how he would have got hold of them - Evoluzione have stopped making them

Ah OK - that makes some sense then

evoluzzione went bankrupt after a messy divorce....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...
