as mentioned on the 'Other' forum - it's looking superb Andy! What's the knob in the middle of the top yolk for? Looks like an old fashioned choke contol
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

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...

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

I seem to recall something about carbon fibre wheels.
No, really...

Yes a few nick nacks due to go on .... not an exhaustive list but including:
- Those CF wheels (waiting for a set of tyres but will probably wait till the better weather now - no point in squaring them off over winter and the OZs will do fine for the next few months)
4-pad callipers
Radial clutch and brake levers with braided hoses
A choice of 2 sets of shotgun cans (will sell the ones I don't want)
Probably stick on the Evo or Rene air kit until I make my own
Still got the revised fairing stuff to do (Tombaa style but with my own twist)
Revising my navigation mount and power supply
Still not installed my rear-view camera
Must get that tail tidy done too
Oh - I dunno - I'll have to go and have a look at what I've got lying around waiting

The only thing wrong with that bike is the crappy luggage frame, why o why can't manufacturers make something that doesn't look ugly.

LOL - the rack is not on there at present but TBH practicality matters more than looks

It's going to be the only bike that I know of with a pair of CF wheels and a Givi rack...

a cynic would suggest that the weight loss on wheels should be shared by the owner :)
