    Hi guys,

    Been riding the Falco for a year now and love it. Meanwhile I've been collecting some stuff which I want to put on this season. At least I hope to put on, it still needs a lot of work as you can see.

    I've collected most on the info about mounting all of it, but can't find any mounting instructions for the Falco streetfighter kit.

    Can anyone send me or help me with the mounting instructions for the kit?

    One last (stupid) question..... Does anyone know where the bodypart in the red circle fits on the bike??????

    I thought from your first pic that it may go around the dash, but from these pics, there is no way. I have no idea.

    I would try contacting AF1 and see if they know.

    In the mean time do these pics help any:

    http://apriliafalco.hadeler.net/inde...image_full/37/ (click "next image" for more)

    Thought it may be the Hugger too, but again it doesn't look right in the pics.

    If you did not buy this as a 'complete' and 'new' kit, but instead collected it in bits or purchased from a reseller, is it not possible that the piece in question might be for another brand bike and somehow found it's way into this collection of bits?

    i agree too! but is there a chance someone has used it as a alternative bellypan for the falco rather than the fighterkit one, if you offer it up to the bike would it fit?

    I bought the kit from a reseller. Didn't think of the possibility that it doesn't belong to the kit. Sounds plausible, but the reseller is a aprilia fan as well and knew the kit. The piece is also aluminium and had exactly the same chrome shade / color so I thought it was part of it. There's still some doubt. Probably not gonna use it anyway but i'm quite curious what it is. The rest will be painted black / bronze btw.

    I don't think its used as an alternative belypan. Its way to clean for that, but I'll try and see if its fits this weekend.

    I wonder why the Fighter kits stopped coming with the thermostat cover. It cleaned up the view of the plumbing in a nice way.

    They would be easy to recreate with a few bends of some thick sheet aluminum.

    Nope.... Don't have a clue. It doesn't fit anywhere to the bike. I'll going to see the aprilia dealer in a couple of weeks. Maybe they know.

    Another issue: does anybody have the mounting instructions for the streetfigther kit? It would help a lot fitting all the pieces (especially the front frame, wires and dash)

    I like the shelf under the headlight for putting rocks on. Good mod, that!
