F9's Falco

#1 Post by Falco9 » Sat Jan 13, 2007 7:05 pm

Here's my Falco, after 5 yrs of ownership most of the well known and discussed mods and extras have been done or fitted, but I still seem to find something else to do or alter every year, so far the list reads as:-

Re-valved forks (by reactive suspension, best mod done!)
Mille steering damper
Blue wheels (Ford Focus Blue)
D/Bubble screen (currently blue but I also have a black one)
Middle panels, bellypan and rear light surround painted to match original silver. (Honda Goldwing colour!!)
All alloy parts mirror polished
Radiator & oil cooler guards
Pifkee BellyPan
Pifkee Crash Bungs
MPL pre-load adjusters
Renegade airkit
SL Carbon chip
Barnett clutch
Wavey rear disc (1 off custom made)
16-43 Gearing (Renthal & Talon sprockets)
Ohlins AP840 rear shock
EBC Double H pads
HEL Brake hoses (Red)
Mille braided clutch hose
Mille swinging arm conversion
Mille oil tank / oil cooler
Mille Exhaust system with Titanium LeoVince Can (removable baffle)
Mikeo's smoked rear lens with Nooj's LED rear light conversion fitted

As some of you will already be thinking, yes I know I spend far too much time cleaning polishing and generally messing about when I know I should be riding her, but eh, "to each his own". It makes me happy and that's all that matters.

Very cool!

Wavy disc is a nice touch! Any particular reason for it, apart from individuality?

Now all it needs is someone to ride it :smt002 :smt005

(Seeing as you said you spend to much time moding it)

Rear disc was done by a local engineer who had started making wavey discs, he use my original rear disc as template for the Milles & Falco's but didn't carry on with them. although this one took a bit of "engineering" to fit,I wanted it because with the Single can runnning so much higher than the original Falco cans the std disc looked boring and I thought it was as good a reason to add more bling

As Gio says it needs riding more often
