Crash bungs and SL Carbon cans too (and the chip for the SLs ?)

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?

The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.
