lol

and who else has noticed the left pipe is slightly off centre??


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...

I noticed that as well as I was following you :smt003

For the single can to work on a Falco I think you really need the Mille swingarm (or the Futura one if you fancy having a go at that mod). Doesn't help that the single Aprilia cans all seem to be HEEEE-YOOOOOOOJ, makes them look like a dustbin strapped to the side of the bike.

I prefer under seat cans anyway, great big tubes stuck to the sides of bikes always look like an "oh shit, where are we going to put this bit?!" after thought to me.

Though big Aprilia dustbin cans aren't mandatory .....
