Long time Lurker
Ok, I've been watching for some time and have finally decided to surface and buy a round.
Iv'e had a Red Falco since early 2000. The first one I wrote off in 2001 aquaplaning in the dark. To be fair I did a bit of repairable damage to one side sliding on bungs but the recovery company managed to do so much damage transporting it, it was a total write off!
I picked up a 2000 stock demonstrator with a couple of hundred miles on the clocks (possibly one of the earliest ones in the country) as a replacement, though the engine has never felt as smooth as the original one.
Aprilia rack
Gilles bars and rearsets
White early RSV shock
Remus & Original cans
Hel lines
Matris steering damper
15t sprocket
CRG short levers
oil jet replaced
Some rusty bolts and fading as it sits outside year round
Have a Yellow Ohlins with linkage which I tried for a few miles but felt the difference was negligible on the road so put the white one back on!

I see you have been lurking for some time. Welcome
I see you have already been busy with modifying.... Only thing to ask is.................... Side stand?

Some people would have you believe that lurking is not a very nice occupation, but we'll let you off now you have finally come out.
Couldn't do anything else really for somebody who seems to have owned a Falco for 12 or 13 years, I can only possibly think of two others with that sort of long term ownership!
You seem to have done lots of the right mods already, but have you still got the original side stand?
Welcome to the site at last!

Most of the mods we done years ago, the shock, sprocket were done as soon as I got it, the brake lines and the clutch jet in the last year. Yes, still on the original perch of a stand, it's been knocked off it once about six years ago!Ok, I've been watching for some time and have finally decided to surface and buy a round.
