Nice looking bike RF, I'm sure some on here will be jealous especially with the roads over there.

And welcome aboard the good ship Ridersite.

PICTURE OF BRAKE LEVER / RADIAL MASTER CYLINDER

Though from the description, I'm guessing that it's actually the quick-action throttle:

..... a bit like this one:

Do I win today's star prize ?

Yes you are right, one comparative pic
Accossato vs OEM

I fitted a quick action throttle to my old CB400F ... it was a big improvement - but the standard throttle on that had to be wound round a long way.

Not sure I'd get on with a quick action throttle on the Falco on Britain's greasy winter roads though ..... probably much more suited to the Spanish climate.

And that "blue steering damper clamp" looks like a fancy top yoke to me.

Pete's probably confused himself as he's assembled his in the wrong order - putting the clip-ons on the top.
Now he can't understand what's what on a properly constructed bike.

Where in hell do you see an "Blue Steering damper clamp"????

I mount my öhlins Stering on the lower triple tree, the standar fitting. Then i mounted a Blue Edwards Upper Clamp, and a pair of Convertibars.
I have a list of the parts i have changed or mounted but it´s in Spanish, perhaps Alandinsane could traslate it for you

i wondered if it was one of those fancy matris steering dampers - thought they had one version that ran across the top like on s 916....

still nice looking bike :)
