lol - cheap and aprilia..... not words that often go together

and i think Keith / Oldgit found a good alternative source

glad you find the forum useful

we haven't started on the piss taking yet....


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...

Ht leads by Magnecor, do a set specific for the Falco, think they were a touch long, so trimed mine, they were great, from memory they were only about £35 for the set, from a place in Essex if I remember, will try and find the details.

Yep that's the ones, just been down the shed to check the original box, same code 2733 so for sure there the ones.

P.S. you know if you had got a red one, it would have been faster dont you !

Hi, another convert, and you wont be disappointed, it's a great bike :smt003 . I'd recomend an optimate hooked up when it's idle and like me you'll discover that there's an almost infinate amount of mods/upgrades covering all areas of the machine, take the time to trawl through the tech section as these guys are a mine of info,it is a very helpfull, friendly forum and not short of banter either.

Oh, and you all missed the fact that silver is in fact the quickest, what you thought was reflection of light was indeed a silver falco flashing by! :smt041
OOPS....There goes another pillion!!

I already have the optimate hooked up. Uts tge first thing I do when I gets me a new bike.

I'm yet to have a good ride on it. Then let the mods begin in winter.
