My falco

#1 Post by rick » Sat Apr 17, 2010 9:32 pm

Here she is :smt007

Bought it from AJFalco and since then I've done the following:

DB Killers in Scorpion Race Cans
Tail tidy
Motrax arrow amber indicators all round
New indicator relay
New exhaust hangers
Brake and clutch reservoir caps
Iridium plugs

It's looking good Rick. :smt004
Has made me think, been wanting to get the brake and clutch reservoir caps replaced for years but never got around to it.
Your's look good, where did you get them from, or were they done by AJ ?

good looking bike for a slow colour....























:)


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 reckon the early red ones look nearly as good as black.
These two colours show the silver frame off best.

Lovely motor there squire. I'm picking up my black one on Friday (at last!!) but I must admit I think that Aprilia Red is absolutely lovely - very subtle & classy.
