Can we fit the a/m swingarm to our falco? Just curious, I know the running gear has to be fitted as well. Guess, the shock connection points are critical, if they need rewelding, that would be a job for NASA

Hi all,

My warranty is the clear/smoked tail lights around the corner!!
In my experience, almost anything can be made to fit into / onto anything else. Whether it's a successful marriage is another question...
The first step would be to get out a measuring tape / rule and find the dimensions of the 1098 'arm and compare with the Falco frame. Only then can you start looking at shock absorber mounting points, etc.
Maybe do some work with PhotoShop beforehand, just to get an idea of what it would look like.

It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Just Wondering...
Hi all,
In reply to anzac, seen a gold powder-coated one on fleebay, and thought about a single-sided setup. Seen one on a mille online ages ago, looked quite smart and different of course
Will go up too M+S on the hill (Local Bike area) and take my tape measure with me....
Have a man that can do the exhaust mod and he can weld ally as well

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...
