Seems like Andy missed out again on the ultimate PERFORMANCE upgrade.

I think you've landed what was one of the best Falcos around. Enjoy!

I thought it might!
Think Dave was the only one that did like it.
He had this silly idea that he needed something to break up all the BLACK, knew it wouldn't catch on.
Then again the mid panel decal has grown on me a bit.

Glad you got back OK in that great weather.

Cheers! Certainly will do :)

Anyone know the best way to remove the red stickers from the fairings without damaging the paintwork?

Normally warming it with a hair dryer will soften the adhesive enough to peel it off nicely, then maybe some tar remover or such like to remove any residue that may be left :)

Wd40

That will remove any residue


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...

Sam has a Chainsaw if you wanted to go for the 'thrown in the litter on paddock hill bend' look. The ultimate Thunderbike fashion statement for the 2012 season.

haven't been on the site for a while and just noticed this thread. Mon, I miss that bike!! :smt007 Sorry that Dave didn't get much use out of it though.

Just for the record, the air box is an Evo unit and the chip is a Factory Pro 1412 (?) It has 2 maps so just connecting the snipped ECU wire will switch maps.

Discs are Braking Wave.

Enjoy Musclebiker (and you MUST try the Rene's without the baffles :smt077 )
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.
