Quick question....

Before anyone says, I did use the search function so I know its a different part number but the question still exists...

I have a yellow spring sachs rsv shock, can I use the 2001 to 2003 ohlins triangle and bone with it?

That's it, simple as that. Seems quite hard to locate the linkages....

The 2001-2003 RSV Mille triangles and dogbone are the ones to use with the yellow spring Sachs. The 'Ohlins' bit in the original question is a red herring, as the linkages are Aprilia items, not Ohlins.

I've totally redone this post as it didn't make sense...

So I can buy the triangle etc from an ohlins fitted rsvr and use them for my falco and yellow springs sachs provided the year is still 2001 to 2003?

Perfect, your opinion backed up with a google search means I can use they linkages. I was just a little worried with being different part numbers.

Cheers.

Different part numbers as they are very different parts. One set of triangles are made from 4mm thick steel, the other from 6mm thick ally.
However, do not fear, you can use either set as from a suspension leverage point of view, they are identical.

Thanks very much gents. Always a worry putting up a shocky question... I'm sure the information is out there having been asked already but I couldn't find it.
