Falco Silver Carbo Akrapovic Rear Hugger

#1 Post by old git » Fri Jun 11, 2010 6:11 am

Got this carbon silver one with the bike when I bought it last year.
Been a fiddlin with various bits, but since the bike is the flame red, can't decide if it will go with the colour or not, so not attempted to fit it.

Anyone had/got/seen a red Falco with a carbon silver hugger???
Do we think it would look good or not???
poll please Yes / No.

I had a silver hugger, and yes it did go with my red/black Falco. However...

Ken (Falken) has a flame red Falco with silver frame, and had a black hugger. So, we swapped, he had the silver hugger, I had the black hugger.

Pics of mine with the silver hugger, then black hugger:

Ken's with the silver hugger (hope you don't mind the pics Ken!):

I think it goes well with the silver frame, but make your own mind up.

No probs with the pics.
Think it looks even better with the wheels powder coated.
That pic is about 3 years old, and it's got the clear rear lens, Beowulf Warrior cans and led indicators now.
Plus a few other bits and bobs, ( sorry Bob ).
