Although for Tuono and Mille, Im sure someone would cobble something together for the Falco..
Just when you modded out, summat else pops up.. large range of colour options
Dunno about the camo coloured ones though...

I saw these mentioned on 'the other forum' a while ago. It seems most (if not all) of the hoses are a straight swap on the Falco.
Nice idea, an interesting bit of bling, but perhaps a bit garish for most people.
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.

fuck ugly is the phrase that sprang to mind - sort of thing a vespa owner might do

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...

..... and, being a scooter, far easier to mount for those that may struggle to get their leg up and over a real bike ...
EDIT: Doh - beat me to it Pete

Have to say I've got a pair of these and they are fantastic! I'm taller than Pete with them on

Goth boots?
Didn't go with the Samco hoses in the end, maybe if they came in black... Got some used Tuono ones off ebay instead for a fraction of the price.
