You have mail

And seems like old times!
Welcome back


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...

.... so if you're after a standard Falco airbox lid .... do you actually have an Evo airkit on there rather than a Rene airkit ?


BTW don't get a Mille airbox top - the airbox bottom is the same but the tops are different (same volume but taller - you won't get the tank down properly)

I'll agree with you there. The SL's sound great!

I'm tempted by the Rene airbox kit, too. I can offer you a stock airbox lid as a trade, if you're interested...
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

Welcome back Simon. Just for info, the red steering damper is the standard Mille one.
Will you be wanting the swing arm castle nut tool again then? :smt003
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.
