Never mind, I'm sure at some point I might change the bike a bit and if any bit gets changed then I'll let everyone on here know 1st

Surely not?

Anyway whats wrong with changing stuff, its not as if I'd take the bike apart and start again, its lovely like it is, but we all want to personalise them a bit.

I'm sorry that looks plain ugly like that, even the blue blotches with words on are naff

Only kidding M8, Once she's yours, she's yours, you can do whatever you want. I'm actually looking forward to what you might do. I liked the Blackbird a lot, so what this space eh?

Ah I thought you'd say that, just a small question and we can talk about it next week, I rather fancy twin 'xausts and if you look at pics of my old 'bird close up to the rear panel, does the present setup lend itself to that?

As to why I like twins, well it makes the bike look mean from behind (poxy cage drivers) and the higher they are the more noise they make (nearer the lugholes)

OMG Rich, what have you done ..... you've got to slap a preservation order on the key features of the things that make your falco what it is .... or just go and find an 'ordinary' Falco for Gio to put his stamp on.

Good lad, good lad...........you know it makes sense!

Twice the noise, twice the looks

(I can't get away with the single exhaust on the falco as if you can't tell!

)...........and please don't put high levels on!!

..... well I would do if I didn't already have one waiting to fit!

I guess it will now be up to me to carry the mantle of what Rich started but with a bit more of a Bronze flavour .... still, I guess the concept was due an upgrade ....

There again, if Gio is scrapping the single pipe, I'll get my claim in for the Mille oil cooler - not got one of those yet.

No, that's not true Gio.

Now firstly, I presume you're talking exhausts here ................

My reasons for the single exhaust mod.

* I'd seen a picture of Rich's bike and liked it so much that I wanted to do the single-pipe conversion.

* I wanted an aftermarket exhaust and concluded it would be cheaper to buy ONE can plus some second-hand Mille bits than Two cans. I may or may not have been right.

* I like a challenge ..... this is more of a challenge than I hoped as when I started out on this scheme - I hadn't realised that the skidmarx bellypan would complicate matters so much.

* Compared to the standard exhausts, I should save some serious weight .... all without me having to diet

Before this I had my heart set on a set of hi-mount Renegades but they were a bit unobtainably expensive. So it's not that I don't like twin exhausts - I've just decided to go the single pipe route - it's that bit different and with you defiling Rich's bike, will be that bit more unique.

That's my excuse - if it's not enough, I'll get a note from my mum.

I agree it looks lovely with the single, but I prefer twin exhausts, always have done and its not just the noise (ref Bigun). As for changing anything else well I think I might fit a set of heated grips and that'd be it, don't want to change anything else as it looks so good
