Presenting my '00 Falco with 28000 km (17 k miles) on it, bought this May.



We've already been to the beach together - if you squint real hard I bet you can see Britain in the distance!



Falco status: Imported to Denmark from Poland. Seems to have suffered a RH side slide in it's past, slight scuff marks on case, and a few dings on rear cowl. The mirror rattles slightly in it's housing - fix? Have added the charging wire mod, now getting >14V on battery. Side stand I believe is stock, but angle doesn't seem too bad to me.
Plan to: Sevice/clean clutch slave, replace brake fluid, fork oil, side stand with VFR or Blackbird item.
Hope to find used upgrade shock - this one is advertised as '05 RSVR, is seller right? (means no good).

WTB pillion seat...

Hello again ... I've just welcomed you in the bar

The shock you mention is probably not the one to go for. In the past everyone has said they don't work on the Falco but I have seen more recent suggestions that it might.

That said, I'd stick on the safe side and get one from a Gen1 Mille or Tuono with the linkages from the same bike.


I guess you have had to pay Denmark's incredibly high tax on the bike

Well either you have a full and incredibly neat garage or your bike has invited friends round for tea
Welcome and what the old fella (drider) said about the shock he's right you know

You are Tony Blair and I claim my £10!

Play fair - he's not been on here long enough yet to be insulting him like that

Hello and welcome

As badger pubes said - probably best to leave it alone

(are there badgers in Denmark?)

Have a look around here for pointers and there is a list on af1 of what fits and what is needed

I suspect German eBay may be a good place to start....

Thanks everyone..

The Blair comment I've actually heard once before! :) but the £10 reference I don't get..

The full and incredibly neat garage is sadly not mine, but belongs to the guy I bought the Falco from. He had traded several pallets of bike equipment and spare parts for nine bikes. Most of them '70-'80ies items that he went about restoring before selling off. Including two XJ Turbos! Talk about a mad idea..

No usable shocks on ebay.de atm.

Yes badgers in Denmark. And high tax on motor vehicles. That said, I'm actually quite pleased with the valuation I got on this one - compared to what my money could have gotten me, it's a small bargain.

Tony Blair !? Steady on old chap that's a bit strong ;)

Hello again

Welcome.
