i doubt it very much.....


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...

Not a case of what is being done .... more a case of where it is going to be done ..........

ah - retiring home so to speak?

I fear that a lot of companies are still going to get hosed in the UK. Hanna's mother has just come back from spain where she has an apartment. She told me that half the restaurants are boarded up and many of the ex pats who were living/working there are returning home as there is no work...

think I may have scored a linkage off an RSV.

I'll post up a pic when I get it.

This Falco thing could get expensive.

OK, this is the one. From a 04 Tuono, apparently. No bushings, the seller said to use the ones from the Falco. What say the learned, looks right?

Yes they are the ones for Gen 1 Mille and Tuono shocks that don't use the same linkages as the Falco.
