Newbie on a Blue One...

Ah-ha... I have a radial master, Motopike levers and 4-pad calipers waiting to go on mine... Did you find that clearance between the radial master (well, the lever actually) and the fairing/dash was a little too adjacent for comfort? I did, and am wondering how to deal with it...

I did .... and the only solution I've found is to adjust the angle of the lever up higher than I would like. TBH I'm used to it now.
The only other option would be a custom fairing sub-frame.

I'm not sure if my clearance is a little worse as my Brembo racing master cylinder is a bit different to the one pictured here. Also, the span adjusters on my brembo levers make the problem worse ... and you can't fit different levers to that master cylinder ....

Those Termognonis are gorgeous. Lovely bike even if it is in the slightly slower colour.

Are they actually Termis?
I don't believe that Termignoni ever made any for the Falco but that could be some intended for another bike.

I have a set of carbon shotguns that had Termi stickers on them when I bought them (I realised the probably weren't genuine Termis when I bought them). I was delighted to find that they were actually a fairly unique set of MHP cans - so actually better quality.
I removed the stickers, prep'd the surfaces and had them re-lacquered.
Never fitted them to the bike TBH but they will probably be appearing soon on another forum members' Falco.

Yeah same here,stickered up when I bought 'em so not sure but never seen any others to compare them too.
You're right about the lever though,bit tight on lock but not that bothered by it.
I also have a replacement top yolk with a high bar setup for more comfortable European touring and that was why the screen was trimmed to again accomodate the levers.This also required extending the switch electrics too as well as longer clutch hose.
Don't do too much road riding now though (trackday convert) and after a trip to IOM in June it will probably be fully converted for track use only.

howdoo feller now I am not a fan of blue oz wheels but they actually do go well on there always remind me of a floating bruise when they are on the undercoat coloured ones

and they must be bad for me to spot them with my Daltonism as Pete refers to it

(yes pete I know you didn't mean the ex james bond

)

Millsy - there's summat wrong with your tyres mate - that front ones got all rough bits at the edges. Better get some nice smooth new ones as soon as possible.

Mind you, the attention to detail is excellent - the blue on the tyres matches the wheels very well...

Purty! Have a 'blue' mouldering in the shed. If black n bronze isn't faster (or more electrically reliable) it certainly ... Well, is black and bronze
