Were they the same as the Falco?
Can anybody confirm?
If so the answer is YES.

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...

Most of the bikes on here have the standard Falco black bar ends,

Can probably do a close up if you need it.

I just need to find some older Mille pictures and compare them.

8102787 and 8102787 are the part numbers... so must be the same

Yes I would agree, all the early RSV images I can find on the net are black and look identical to the Falco as I expected.

Cheers Guys,

I take it they are solid steel ?, my clipons are hollow although standard :smt014 so I have just ordered the internals from Mark @ Time Machine but they come without bar ends. So just trying ti get an idea of what else I need.

I have now fitted the R&G bar ends - nice bits of kit, though they are silver - I am happy with them though :)

No, autumnal gold, to go with the greying bits
It flies sideways through time
It's an electric line
To your zodiac sign
I've got a Black and Silver Machine!
