weird one

couple of years ago I stripped out the rear shock from a 2002 rsvr

I did not need the linkages - the shock was going into another mille, but being a professional vulture, put them away into my stores

(I do not have any falco linkages in the place that are spare - the ones off my falco are long gone, and hanna's went on a falco that was having its goodies stripped out)

here is the wierd part - chap wanted the linkages for the new shock he had acquired - so off they went

turns out they are falco linkages / dogbone......

I can only guess that the original mille owner had fitted them in error... or a botched repair or... well I do not know what

obviously I have refunded the cash etc and look forward to getting them back - I will place them with the 4 blue spring shocks I have!

.... and having them in your possession you failed to notice that they were actually Falco parts ......

Lol

I did not have anything to compare it with and had no inclination to measure it etc...

( I do wonder if it was an early model that had been registered late - I do recall it was an ohlins !)
