As for weight... the Falco arm is 250g lighter than the RSV arm. The extra 35mm of tube and the insert won't come to that much - I'll weigh it when it comes back. Should still be lighter than the RSV arm that's in there now.
The Falclimber - a stripping yarn...

Been sleeved inside so it doesn't blow through when welding. It's only tacked so far - the final weld is being done by some motorsport engineers. My mate's TIG isn't quite up to it. Don't fancy it coming adrift...

Just a small note to update this thread. After winning the 1300 class in 2011, the Falclimber went on to win the 1300 class in 2012 and take the outright British title too. A Falco with the number 1 plate on it - up against race tuned KTM supermotos, CR500s, big bore tuned TL1060s etc. Not bad for a sports tourer... But we knew that already!
