Fitted this gen 2 sprocket cover.....a little different which I like (also a tiny bit of fettling to get it just right) will be getting a slave upgrade during the winter....also the top yoke kit turned up......should make riding the Falco a lot more enjoyable....ignore the old bolts they will be replaced as I go.....

Well today I fitted my new top yoke (ABM) as the other one wasn't quite to my liking......new Renthals and matching bar ends to fit, I've just ordered new billet reservoirs from the land of the rising sun......still have to fit the braided brake lines which will done the mora and I have to trim the screen a little bit more...other than that it's nearly there......

Why haven't you got any rings showing on the front forks/yokes? Does it even turn into corners?

Probably can't 'cause then the fork tops would foul the bars. That's why the bars need to be so wide; so you can provide "adequate" counter steer.

That and the top yoke isn't a stepped down one like the stock item.......I've checked all the photos I can find and they are all like this...the bars I have fitted don't obstruct the fork adjusters and I could probably get a ring if I needed it.......but I'm thinking I won't

3 rings is standard on the standard yoke, I've moved to 5.

First day out on the Falco, nice bike to ride.....good power, brakes, handling.....the biggest thing though is how bloody light the thing is....so the more I ride it the quicker I get use to it.....but all in all very happy...

Yes handle bar conversion worth it's weight in gold as far as I'm concerned....
