...... and will there be a fairy on the top
Just watched the vid - using the headlight reflector with those indicators is excellent - unless you have main beam on and they are washed out - but if there is anyone to signal to in front, you won't have main beam on.

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...

Only saw it in Griff's workshop and was dark when i got it home in the van (you know how he likes to talk?), the lighting has to be just so...and still waiting on the correct rear sprocket and switchgear to be fitted, you know how fussy people are about detail? won't be down in 'Inckley now for another couple of weeks!!
...surely there's someone out there with pics of Wintered fettling?

RSV 04 on, but you'll need adapter plates too!

mirrors are off an >2004 rsv using bill's adapter plates off af1.....
and yes - the exhausts do work - i have used renegade high mounts from a mille on mine
the job to fit them is straight forward - you need a full mille set of headers and collector box, as well as the actual cans
(Oh - make sure you get one of the later mid sections - just incase you go for the modded mid pipe in the future.)
you will also need an rsv oil tank - you can make that fit onto the standard falco oil cooler with a replacement length of oil pipe, or you can fit a mille cooler.
you will need to dremel out 3/8 inch off your skidmarx belly pan on the left side - very easy job - and it is obvious where it needs a trim!
alternatively, you could look around for a set of falco high mount canns - they do exist
finally, if you look over in the coventry area, there may be a chap over that way with a spare set of interesting exhausts - look for 55 year old male, answers to the name of badger....
