very nice :)


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...

Pierre - you must be mad tearing round a racetrack like that with a stock swingarm fitted. :smt003

Hmmm slighly worrying that you all posted after I mentioned my arse

I also have a spare 04 swingarm and 01 rsv frame all ready for when I cartwheel it into a concrete wall :smt016 The standard falco arm is disposable

Just for a bit of info, Michael on the camera bike is a 1995ish steel framed ex-race cbr600 and he did a couple of races in the 80's so thats our excuse for him kicking our arses all the time :smt003
Spock on the blue R6 took his 1987 fz750 over and it ran like shit from the time it turned a wheel so he hired the 07 r6 for £110 a day, half the price of hiring over here.
Twiggy on the white r6 hasnt actually ridden it since last year at cartagena (hasnt changed tyres either) , prefers his aprilia rs125 :smt119 Oh and his pitlane coversation with Steve Plater ended with 'well youre a wanker an'all then mate' . He's a fiesty little tinker

Wow, some pictures there I dont have copys off anymore, thought they'd gone forever :smt003 Kinda glad i stopped posting while inebriated aswell :smt002

Found another copy of the 1st dissapeared one I think

Image

This has now changed into this :
Image

Didnt get round to refitting the bellypan as the rad and oil coolers are different on the '05 engine and didnt easily fit

Had to change the swingarm as the exhaust didnt go round the falco one (not cos of peer pressure, hah)

Didnt cut the battery box cos the height increased nicely (dunno what i did wrong there)

Had to make a hugger cos it looked crap without one and I'm too tight to buy another

Had to get new link pipes made to get the new diameter pipes to sleeve onto the falco can's

The water tank is tie-wrapped on cos I got sick of making little brackets and by god its easier

Havent done anything with airbox yet, just standard RSV one that is so tight a fit under the tank you dont have to fit bolts to hold it down :smt004

Apart from that it fitted straight in guv.

That should do me for another year :smt003

Hey Pierre, where did you get the tie-down converters to fit over the bars? I've been looking for something like that when transporting bikes in the van...
