Control_67's red fire falco

[control_67]

With everyone sharing their mods I thought I'd pitch in with mine. My bike Is a 2001 red fire falco that I bought in 2011, a week later it was knocked over and the paintwork scratches made it a Cat D write off. With the bike back and the settlement clear it was modding time. I added Chinese Pazzo copy levers, Fuel Titanium oval cans, EVO airbox kit, Gabro EPROM, R&G bar ends, bungs and bobbins, RSVR Ohlins shock, Scottoiler V-system, a bubseywoo side stand and Pyramid dark smoke doube bubble screen.

I took it all round Ireland and to last years Cookstown 100 in this guise, when I was there the clutch slave failed, luckily I managed to bleed it enough to hof out to get me home but this prompted an Oberon clutch slave cylinder and Carbon RSVR sprocket cover.

Around the same time I added an RSVR Ohlins front end, yokes and carbon mudguard, projection components exhaust hangers and more recently a sharkfin also from projection. I also ditched the tacky mini indicators and rewired the OEM ones.



Overall I'm going for an OEM aprilia look, nothing has been added that wasn't a functional improvement on what was already there, either for performance, ease of servicing or an uprated replacement. I like it.

Future plans for the bird include a set of Oz wheels, a carbon bellypan and a little work on tidying the paint here and there. Oh, and fitting the clutch jet that's been sat in my toolbox for the past year.

Nice - you are well on the way to making it "standard".

The ohlins compliment the Fire Red very nicely.

Very, very nice.

I went the Ohlins front too but they were always intended for a different project, i was stunned recently when i removed them to find one had almost completely lost its damping

Everyone does the Ozz wheels - lol - go BST Carbon!!!

.... and keep a set of OZs with touring tyres for long hauls and winter duties.
