I believe it's just a clone of a Renegade

Sorry should have explained more, came across it on RSVZone, some guy called 'Hooked' in Kent is making them based on the Renegade box, just wondered if any one from here had tried one, there seems to be a lot of satisfied customers and Griff seems to have bought a few too

Have had one before , well made and an awesome induction noise ........like said they're a copy of the Renegade one and look good in Carbon , no seal around the tank like an evo one but it's a 50 / 50 as to who likes what .........i prefer the Evo because i like to think that seal is good ........even though it's not ......and think the "RAM" air works better , mind you that's crap anyway so anyone of them would do .......

Did any of that make sense ????? :smt017

Hooked does have a good name on RSV and does do a good job making these......

Just heard back from Craig AKA 'Hooked' and he says they need tweaking to fit and has sold a couple of Falco owners but didn't say what needed doing

they are a fairly straight forward fit - only thing with them is what to do with the breather pipe

I put one of those bling car air filter type things on with a jubilee clip and laid it under the filter


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...

one may have been fitted by myself to another persons bike a while ago....

(I helped a chap out. IIRC he had done most of the prep work - all i did was work out how to route the breather .)

As Aladin says easy enough to fit and no mods needed just the breather pipe to sort out and that's not a hard one to do .... there is of course the noise as well ........OH YES the noise !!! I changed it cause i'm a tweaker ...albeit a crap one ......so swapped it in for something else .......Gotta keep trying !!!

Go for it you'll love it and they're very well made .....Black carbon ....

What's the point of, e.g., carbon, when it can only be seen with the tank up/off? I mean, if you're spending dosh on bling, surely you want it to be seen.
