Futura top yoke on a falco

#1 Post by Sixty7 » Sat Feb 28, 2015 12:01 am

I was wondering if the falco gurus would know the answer to this querky question......

Does the futura top yoke and also would the bars fit..??? a falco set up, so would end up with say a ducati st set up....

Not sure whether the yoke is compatible but I doubt the bars would clear the fairing.

The Futura is a very capable bike - if you want that riding position and sports/touring capability why not look for a good Fut Fut?

Because I don't like the futura, the thing is if I fit a top yoke then I still have to trim the fairing.....just thought these might fit and still keep the bike looking factory which I like....... :smt001

consider existing bars over triple


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...

Doesn't bode well for Sixty7, does it? Doesn't like Futuras, wants to chop his fairing.

Pass the matches, Andy, I've got the petrol.

Calm down ladies, let's have no stern pointing of one's briar pipe at the upstart.
Could lead to the deliberate spilling of cocoa and Horlicks,could lead to slippers becoming ruined !

Burt when you are riding it you are not looking at it. A very capable bike with styling of its time...

Yeah, but, let's be honest.

Were debating how little we can get away with now that fuel prices seem to be rapidly increasing once again.
