Cheers for the info and comments, I have seen the large aprilia decal on a few bellypans I almost thought that was a standard.

I have seen the lions head decals on e-bay.

insert gratuitous comment re size of pan required for that belly.....


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...

So is the bellypan on mine an aftermarket one sprayed up to match or did\do Aprilia actually make one for the bike.

If it is an aftermarket one I would like to know who sprayed it.

Aprilia never made a bellypan for the Falco. Yours looks like a Skidmarx one (that's what many of us fit).

As for who sprayed it .... well you can start your process of elimination - it wasn't me.

Maybe ask the previous owner? :smt002

Cheers D :smt001

I am glad it has one as I (cue angry replies) dont like the falco without a bellypan, it's the big ugly pipe running under the bike spoils the look for me.

... but can you clarify whether you were the one who sprayed it - Tonyunn has a lot of the world's population to cross off his list of suspects and if you don't say, you're not helping.
