Tuono sachs shock

#1 Post by blenks » Mon Aug 24, 2009 6:17 pm

Can anyone tell me if a Sachs shock from an 06 Tuono will fit the Falco? Will it need different links or will the Falco one do the job? Finally will it make any difference to the standard Falco one. :smt017

A quote from the "other" site
"2004-up RSV and 2006-up Tuono model shocks are NOT compatible with the Falco"

Has been done but in conjunction with the new shape RSV/Tuono swinger swap (and that's not the easiest of swaps)

You wouldn't want one to be honest. Very basic, just about does the job and no better, The RSVR sachs shock is a lot better bet if you do decide to go down that route

You would need all the linkages and dogbone though.
