Mille Swingarm

Hi All,
Looking at doing the Mille swingarm conversion (the early swingarm).
I currently have a Maxton rear shock with the standard falco linkages. Do I need anything else or is it a straight swap?
Is there anything else I should be aware of?
Thanks,
Dale

Continue with standard Falco linkages if that's what the shock was designed for.
Read the manual and make sure you have the shimano freewheel tool to undo the special retainer (much cheaper than the special tool)

I've also seen someone one ebay selling the tool (not the official aprilia one), not sure how these compare to the shimano ones.

I don't think this is the right one?

Nor do I
Do a search - I've posted up about the right one many times

That's the wrong one
I got mine from yank evil bay for about 10 quid
Pm me your address and will loan you mine
You do need to split / replace your chain
Beg / borrow an abba stand with the foot rest adapters

Thanks for the offer but I don't know when i'll be able to do it, but thanks anyway ;)
I'll keep looking...
edit: found it - the Park Tool FR-6 seems to be the right one. i'll confirm when it arrives :D
