That's a nice looking falco you have there fella.

I love the scorpion cans, are falco fitment? Or maybe gen2 rsvr made to suit?

It's okay I suppose for a red one

They are proper Scorpion ones for the Falco, I've still got the part no EAP51CEO
I bought them in 2011 at one of the BSB meetings from Bikecanz/Bykebitzuk before they went bust, bloody shame.
They were never listed on the Scorpion website and i just asked the fella on the off chance if they made them and the rest is history.

Extremely tasty - and in the best colour! Where did you get your hugger from, and what section of tyre are you running? I tried an NWS hugger with a 190/55 tyre and they diddn't play nicely together...

Really like the belly pan, as well, plus the fact the hugger and belly pan are colour matched. Where did you get the paint done, if you don't mind me asking?

Hi Mango, I got the hugger and bellypan from Skidmarx at the motorbike show, discount and all that, I then had them sprayed by a local guy and got the paint from R.S. paints. The tyres I'm running are 185/55 17.

Hi Kneescratch yeh sounds great, normally run without the baffles, I live in Canvey by the way.

Absolutely gorgeous bike Gazzo. And most definitely the prettiest colour

Forgot to mention the Skidmarx hugger fitting did leave a little to be desired and I had to dremmel the holes on the hugger to make it fit better.
The bellypan was spot on though.

Cheers gazzo - I was rather hoping there was a make of hugger that caters for the higher profile of the 190/55 without fouling, but it sounds like there isn't. May have to start 'modifying' mine to force it to fit...

RS Paints have been mentioned a few times as giving good colour matches - will definitely get my paint from them in that case.
