A wee update....

Over the coming winter the bike shall be street fightered. Open to all advice or suggestions.... Excluding anything along the lines of "don't do it".
I have to use the Falco, loads of character and a cracking engine. Great bike and not worth what they should be. I plan on doing it all without damaging any original parts. That way I can resort it back to standard whenever I want.... Although I may be drilling the top yoke.... Undecided... Even the colour is undecided...

Ah OK - I'll let you off then.

The parts for these are far too rare to be destroying or cutting up, it'd be a shame to. Only thing I can think of that may be damaged is the top yoke... Granted, it'll all be painted though... So as far as original colours go... They'll be changed.

Good news though, I have a yellow spring rsv shock here and a linkage is en route. I'll finally see what you all keep talking about....

The Falco parts will not be sold, these will be kept incase I change it back.

A fairing will have to be "Modified" to fit if it is fightered!!!!!!

And may i suggest http://www.motomac.it/Aprilia%202/Futura_RS.htm

Not if you don't use it - plenty of options with headlights and fly screens

Cathcart · #13 Post by **Cathcart** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 11:26 pm

D rider is spot on, the fairing won't be getting used, although it will be paintedat the same time. This way, if iI rebuild then they'll match.
Seen that site before but nothing really jumps out as being quite "me".

Bike will probably have dominator headlights and street fighter bars.

Dunno, our gaffer just bought one of them Porsche things and it's nearly the same colour as my bike. Not as pretty though.

Sure it's not a kit car replica using mild steel sheet rather than ali body panels?
