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...

After 3 near misses in as many days and the fact that i was not happy with the look i got rid of the shite that was covering the headlight. I was hoping for a tinted effect, not full blown black.

looking good Paddy and as for the near misses after the ones I have had l;ately I thing a man with a red flag leading an elephant painted in hi vis stripes whilst accompanied by dancing leaopards singing waltzing matilda would still make little difference... a homicidal feckwit moron is still a .....

Very nice, and is that a hyperpro unit under the seat? If it is what difference has it made to rideability?

i think if you look on the bay of evil, you can find a source of headlight covers for about 30 quid that are removable

I would also suggest that an HID kit cuts through even my discete dark tint cover.....
