Have you thought of fitting a Falco swingarm? I have a spare - with a matching shock too.

We need someone to try the RSV4 onto a Falco.

Cheap enough to buy and try..

If it had longer i'd message and ask for dimensions
If it fits a Falco it'd fit an RSV and vice versa.. or a Fut..

I am almost certain the shock mounts are on the oposite side and the collector on the other, that in mind i don't think it will be straight forward to change :smt017

But you'd have to do some drastic re-routing of the exhaust

On the fut it'd need a whole new system, yeah but the Mille (and the Falco) should get away with it. Dunno about the shock though. I shall have to take a tape measure and visit an Aprilia dealership...

That may be a reason to do an underslung exhaust mod :smt001

I have already looked at a v4 to see if it was possible, The shock is on the right looking at the back of the bike and the down pipe is on the left.
On a falco and mille these are oposite.... Shock mount is totally different...But anything is possible
