I have Beowulf Warriors on mine, but in stainless, kind of tri-oval but rounded corners.
Think they go well with the shape of the Falco frame.
I'm sure they do them in carbon now, and they sound very good, 100db with the baffles out,
measured at Cadwell on a track day.
But as the others say, try and get to the Barge at Newark on the 16th.

Ah indeed - things like this put it all in perspective.
Best wishes to all of you.





If you don't make it that weekend then I'm sure there will be another opportunity ................ ah, there is! .... the very next weekend is the Club Aprilia annual bash .... and we're going!

Assuming things have settled down for you by then, you are most welcome there.
Some come for just the Saturday and others make a weekend of it.


.... but if that doesn't work out for you, I expect there will be other opportunities.

Not me .... a bit of extra sound is good but I see no point in p#ss#ng off the neighbours or making things easy for plod.

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...

actually, the renes, while going through town etyc are ok - a pleasant rumble - yes people notice it but that is because it sounds lovely, not because it is obscene

at full chat they are a tad loud.....
(I believe that comment maybe trademark Vulcan Bomber....)
