Sunday I finally got around to putting the falco back together after sitting in the garage for nearly 2 years since buying it as a replacement for my smashed Mille but rebuilt that instead and now broken for parts and sent around the world to help others keep there's going ha ha
So just need a front tyre for the M.O.T and I'll be back on the road Connected a battery and she burst into life ...sounded good with the renegades...yes it's Rob's old bike the side panels need a bit of white as in the original paint idea below from motomac.it website (http://www.motomac.it/Aprilia%202/Futura_RS.htm), the bike had been low-sided and lost the original painted side-panels so its either going to be some white vinyl or a decal to break it up the low side also forced the high bar conversion before I bought it ... |

Nice one Mark
Looks great with the high bars and Rene's. I like the black side fairings though, not sure they need to be white.... |

Hi Mark, very nice job mate. When the turbo going on it? Or is that another project, I am sure you got some plans in that direction, I may be wrong 😂

That's better Mark, the gold did look out of place. I disagree with Diablo though, I think the white as per the original theme would look much better.
Looking good though |

Very under rated bike and the rear mc is in the right place as well.

Also forgot to say I swapped out the hugger for one with a little bit of colour thing is the highlevel pipes block it out!! hugger decals can be obtained from gary woods aka RSV_Ecosse on here ... nice little addition for not a lot of dosh fit both plastic and carbon huggers |

Might be interested in the Rene's for another little project, if your getting rid Mark.....
Or the chap Adamantis wanting Hi mount Gianelli's the other day. Looks so much better without the Puig grips and gold levers! Is that one of Gary's hugger decals? |

I seem to have been doing this a lot recently, not absorbing info etc The shock testing's not going too well.... I went to Santa Pod nearly a month ago and been barely able to walk on my crutches since. I got quite down for a bit I still have you down as dibbed though, if you want Mark |

With the bars and high level pipes, I think it looks better than a tuono. Good job there.
