Clocks mounted using and aluminum bracket.
Indicators mounted in original KTM mounts.
Wiring tie wrapped together and then tie wrapped to the ignition barrel, keeps them out the way.
The 2 fuse boxes are tie wrapped to the forks.
air sensor sits below the fairing.

Not sure how ill mount the top half of the fairing, ive tie wrapped it to the fork legs at the moment...seems solid, so, ill probably leave it like that.

All i need to do now is hook up the indicators, paint the fairing black, and clean up the radiator area...might get some rad covers.

The lights on this fairing are brilliant, i think their actually brighter than the falcos original headlight :-) (cheers tommy)

Judging by the photo, it required a "two-hammer" solution! :smt002

and am certain Nooj will be along soon as no hacksaws have been used.....




strongly suggest you tell him that was what you used for the insulation tape cutting....


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...

Although it seems no brutal toolage was used, there is a good selection of cable ties about the area which is always nice to see. I do like tidy wiring and cables, something I need to sort out on my Falco.

Oh no, duct tape is Sooooo last season, carefully drilled holes and cable tie "stitches" will be the must-have lash-up this spring.

cheers
I have a streetfighter front end fitted. The subframe and the fairing bits.

My bellypan is actually a stock Tuono one (requires Mille/Tuono oil tank that needs exhaust swap...). I like it a lot. As much as I don't like the streetfighter one, actually. :smt003

Finished ... looks almost factory .. apart front the zip tie fest :-)

A Tuono/streetfighter bellypan would be the icing on the cake ... anyone got one for sale ?
