3rd day of ownership, just got it jacked up and cleaned fully, so here she is, virginal and clean! Bloody sun disappeared and ruined my pics though...

very nice, and possibly the most standard black one here??


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 guess we'd better start making a list for him.

He'll obviously need some idea before he meets with the bank manager.

Nice !

I like the wheels in gold.

Here are 2 very cheap improvements you can do right away....

1 - peel off tha warning sticker from the screen.

2 - get some solvol on those downpipes.

Yeah, not had chance for a 'proper' clean yet, as in polishing etc.
I'd not even noticed the warning sticker yet! :smt018
I was getting excited about doing the cans and a tail tidy, but had a think and decided to source a shock first. Just ordered an 03 RSV shock, triangles and dog bone.
Like the stealth-ish stock can volume, but the airbox don't half drown them out! :smt007
Cheers for the comments, it's definitely a credit to it's former owners.
A good dowsing in GT85 or similar is on the cards too.

Why ?

Is that for rust protection? I wouldn't bother until the winter as WD or GT just attract dirt. May I suggest ACF50 for this job once the roads get mucky.

Looks great - how did you source your 03 shock and linkages so quickly.

Were the bricks the resulting product of the tom-tit stop ?
