I believe... from memory.. the only pukka underseats (like the fut fut) when Renegade was going thru it's RSV era were on the SV650.

The RSV/Falco 'underseats' were squidged up high against the sides (like yours Alad) this was because of the problems with the swingarm clearance and rider footpeg clearances... and some other stuff that I cant remember... they deffo didnt get underneath. too much shit in the way.

Im sure Trevva! ran underseats for a short while.. as in the Aprilia Vtwin version of underseat... 'renegade high hilevels' like Alad's

It must be about time to graft the arse end of a Fut onto a Falco..

You could have pukka underseats then...

Theyre the hi-hilevels.. on Rod's bike in the US

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handle bars to the saddle.

Now if you want to do something really different with the exhausts, then Pierre should be your inspiration ......

.... one can in the bellypan the other exiting from the seat unit ..... where's he gone - this discussion needs him!

.... and unfortunately, the pics of it seem to have disappeared.

i do still have my ulta stubby as well.... it almost reaches the right foot peg....


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...

Had a day of tinkering, a bit slower than I expected though. Managed to get the new sidestand fitted and the bike leans nicely now:) Fitted some replacement Showas, but I am not sure if there is oil in them! They rebound better than the old ones, so I may have to get someone to look at them.

Got new discs on order, pads and a chain drive turning up next week. Test fitted my new wheels, going from black to gold has changed the whole look of the bike at the front!

Once next weekends session is done then I will get the photos smashed onto here:)
