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...

Looks nice that.

Ever thought about getting the wheels powdercoated? Gloss black would look class on there. :smt004

As they say in German porno movies.... Soopa soopa! :smt003

But tell me please... what blister indicators are those? And are the integrated rear indicators clear when they flash?

It looks absolutely drop dead gorgeous to me Pete, but then again I may be slightly biased as it is in the colour.
BLACK ............. :smt004 Take a Ride on the Dark Side :smt004
Surprise, surprise it looks a lot like mine other than the swingarm :smt002
Same screen and similar cans and Greg's smoked rear lens - never looked better on any other colour Falco.
I've had different stickers on and off and now just have the Aprilia Racing stickers on the belly pan.
Have also still got all the standard Aprilia decals including the blue which I also like.
You must be running out of Bling ideas by now though, anything else on the agenda?

actually yes, I have a couple of ideas that I want to play with.... and they are pure bling :)

I guess the final thing will be the engine performance - I know what I am aiming for, and I hope I am close to it

Sorry Pete - couldn't resist.
It does look good though and I have seen it in the flesh.

sorry styliz

blisters are the motrax replacemants for the later models of fireblade

the rear indicators are "ok" but not bright enough - I am planning something however
