couple of nice looking bikes there

and yes mine looks tatty still - but i know have a cunning plan for a respray....

on the mods front - exhaust is done and fitted, ohlins is fitted but needs some more work. I have fitted the scottoiler to the front sprocket as well. I want to tidy up the renegade airfilter touch as well
I have had a few bits and pieces off and on again as i am trying to work on some new indicator ideas....

i have acquired a couple of new bits and pieces that mean the main lights may get to be played with soon....

I still have some work to do involving sheet metal....


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...

The bike already had the SL cans and chip fitted and the wheels were painted by the same bloke who did the cut down fairing I got from D-Rider

I did get the standard exhausts as well so overall it was a bit of a steal really

Glad you like it, I'm really pleased

Does it cause any more turbulence?
To be honest Howard I don't know. My insurance is up for renewal on the 12th and I can then switch it to a multi bike policy. The MOT is booked for 15th and I'll buy the tax the following day. Then (finally) I can get out for a run on her. So far a couple of quick trips up the street just to check the gearbox & clutch worked OK have been as far as shes gone. It suddenly dawned on me that after doing all this work I didn't know if they actually were OK (doh!) However I'm please to say all seems well so far.

I've spent 50% of my life riding motorcycles, the rest I've wasted!
