and that rare aftermarket red tail light


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...

Has no one spotted that the tax disc has been updated ? :smt009

..... and those grippy stickers on the tank where your legs go? :smt009

............ and I can't be certain from the pictures but that looks suspiciously like a late-model rider's seat .....

*deep breath*
The seat is OE.
the 90* valves don't count as they point the wrong way ie. towards the ground when the bike's on it's stand, so are exempt due to installation stupidity.
The heel guards are ally, not carbon.
Tail light is stock (and you know it, don't be silly).
Tyres were changed from OE on the grounds of safety, not bling.
Stickers on the tank aren't a mod, they're just a sad styling mistake.
Oil and plugs (hopefully!) have been changed, but remain as OE spec.
Tax disks weren't factory fit items :smt019

No one spotted the Shocktube and ram mount though :smt004
