I have crashed my Falco (due to mechanical issue) and before making an insurance claim i am trying to replace the aftermarket bits with bust/wornout standard parts. So that I can buy another Falco and fit the aftermarket bits on.

Have got most of the parts, but am missing the rear shock as I have a custom valved Fox shock with Ohlins spring fitted at the moment. So would like a standand shock can be totally shot as long as it looks ok.

Also a standard left hand exhaust can would be good, it can also be dented and scratched.

Can anyone help????

Thanks

Gavin

Sorry to hear about your off; What was the problem that caused it?
I have an OE blue shock lying around somewhere.
If I can find it later I'll let you know...

something got stuck on the steering, causing it to stay with about 5 degrees of steering, just as I got into a roundabout at about 30mph. Causing the bike to lean over till it was sliding on it side. Either the throttle cable or brakelines got stuck on some thing as it is all very tight there with the Gilles adjustable clippons. But the bike hit the kerb bending the forks and making the top head race bearing housing not round (its stretched the frame).

So it will be a write off, but I bought it with the after market bits on as need to get them off before making a claim. Then I can buy another Falco and fit them, as there a great bike.
