No problem boys. Glad you like them. I have a couple of overmakes if anyone else is interested, they'll be trickling onto eBay otherwise.

you going to get rid of those nasty standard indicators as well??


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...

Those nice indicators that another forum member has reverted back to very recently scrapping the tacky aftermarket crap?

Probably not (though I have had some aftermarket ones for 5 or 6 years that I've never fitted)

So Hanna chose you rather than those "better looking alternatives out there" .... can't fault her observation even if her decision making is rather suspect ....

Glad everyoine got them ok. I have 3 left still so if anyone wants one you know the drill.

Having spent a couple of hundred quid at a powdercoaters over the last year making 2 batches of these and getting my pannier frames redone I have decided to set up a small powder coater in the workshop to do small parts (no I probably couldn't manage to do a set of wheels). Once it's up and running I will of course do reasonable rates for all you lot, I'll only have the colours that I will use myself, I'll charge a good rate for these and postage will be at cost, but if anyone needs odd colours I can get these, it's about £20 a batch and the options are vast.

Once I have it running I'll let you know how it looks
