Bloody hell, you're a bit far away but I have a ZZR1200 to get rid so I can look around for a Falco. Unfortunately my ZZR is in Spain and has done 70,000 miles, not too appealing to most. Let me tell you though, they are fantastic bikes over distance. Much better all round than the Blackbird IMHO. Hope you get sorted dude.

Could've been ideal if it was anywhere in the UK and had less miles. Obviously I'd have flung cash at you too.
Cheers for the input, been reading a lot and so far, it seems my kind of thing. I'd hate to have what everyone else has. Although that does have more cons thanks pros.

Hiya,
I am interested in the Mille shock and linkages.
How much are you looking for, posted?
Cheers,
Dave.

I'm not 100% sure what to charge for them... Think I paid around £80 for shock and £35 for linkage... Sure it was around there.

You can say what you like, you'll not convince me that a falco needs one (although I know that some disagree)

To be honest, I'm not sure if it saved me yet.... I just felt better that I knew it had it.

Indeed - not knocking anyone that wants one - and hope you get what you want for it.

Methinks that badger-pube San may review this thought after he has moved his bars.....

You have your own inertial damping, HTH.

Not going to happen

.... not even sure if/when I'll be able to ride again TBH. Now heading for 4 weeks since I rode a bike and unless the dizziness of this vertigo gets fed up and goes away, I'm not going to be able to get back on board (maybe it's me that needs a steering damper?)

Dibs on the art cans, depending on cost and P&P.
cheers

You may have first dibs if they don't go with the bike mate. Whenever that'll sell.

For others, here's the eBay listing. At present there's 20 watchers but we'll see if that turns anything up. If any guys from here buys the bike you'll get the cans/chip for free.
