Hi all,

Fitted a mille hyperpro rear shocker to my falco, have a mille "Banana" swingarm on. Should I use my falco dog + bone OR use a rsv mille dog + bone

Not sure which to use.....

Have you tried a mobile dog & bone?


Sorry, got me coat and I'm out the door.

Which Aprilia was the Hyperpro designed for?
.... That's the linkage you need to use.

But as discussed, the shock lengths etc of the two Hyperpro are the same aren't they? So use the falco triangles??

Same(ish) spring rates?
Same stroke?

Hi all,

Yes Bigun and D-Rider, the shock is off a mille 98> But, the length of the shock is the same The mille dog + bone seem quite long, as is the triangles Will they increase/decrease the ride height?

I am going to a guy in newcastle maybe friday to setup the suspension, I may take the mille linkage, just incase he suggests that they should be fitted

Thought someone on here might of put a hyperpro on their beasty

98 Mille should have the same linkages as the Falco

Think the change was during 2000 (but that's just from memory)

I've heard very good things about Hyperpro shocks; at least as good quality as Ohlins, so I've heard. And I concur with Andy - use the Falco dogbone/linkages...

Hi all,

Guess the general feeling is use my falco dog + bone I'll let you know how things go when my suspension is done

Thanks all....

And flog me your Mille one when you're done!
