Have you considered what you will do with the air box yet?

And what chip?

HID head light?

Steering damper?

Oz or tart carbon wheels?

Which exhausts?

Renegade mid pipe mod?

Scary thing is- I could go on......

Hello mate. In the process of doing mine at this very moment. It's a Winter project for me as it won't get ridden now until the weather gets better and work dies down enough to give me more time.

I'm using a CNC top yoke allied to Renthal bars, with a cut down screen and top fairing. I have the brake and clutch lines and throttle cables so all I need to do is get round to fitting them all. But, I'm also going to change the swingarm to a Mille item, and put a Mille single sided exhaust system on. This means a few other things - such as the oil tank - have to be changed to suit too. I've already got a yellow spring shock and linkage fitted and the difference is night and day. I've also got a Honda sidestand (off a Firestorm if memory serves correctly) fitted which has also made a huge difference.

I'm taking pictures of every stage of the conversion and posting them on here so that others can see the difference it makes. And any problems/solutions I come across will be posted too. I suggest you do the same as the more info there is the better.

Good luck with whatever options you decide to use and here's to more happy Falco riders.

Welcome Rob from Rob, have fun trying to balance the books at the end of each month, but remember it's all for a good cause

I did wonder how long it would take before that comment was noted ;)

And this forum lives on piss taking

Hi and welcome .... and although you'll discover I'm not the greatest fan of Falcuono-isation you are still most very welcome

Oy Nursie, less of the "tart" and why the "or" ..... the solution is clearly sporty tyres on the carbon rims and sports/touring tyres on the OZ rims .... works for me ........

And there was me offering a home to your spare set of wheels - they just need to be on a faster colour....

I have just purchased another falco, so book balancing is going to be harder

Joking apart this one is "special" and apart from changing the shock and the side stand it will stay standard, Has my mercury grey will have the mods

Am glad you got it sorted Jay and I look forward to the unveiling

More or less on topic I'm pondering adjustable clip ons over the top yoke. I'm thinking widish, flattish but still quite low might be the way forward.

As I normally suggest - standard bars over the triple crown too start with - then see where to go from there

Burning time?

First they came for the led indicator crowd.
And I did not speak out.
'Cause mine were standard.

Anyhoo, do the bars come out of the clamps on the standard clip-ons?
I seem to be riding about with the heels of my hand on the bar ends.
