I have a virtually new, only covered 600 dry miles blue shock, and I can't think of anything good to say about it. If it was square it might make a useful door stop, but being sort of round it just sort of rolls away to the most inconvenient spot on the floor...

Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Still ..... one day when Falcos become collectable classics and everybody wants one in factory-delivered condition, bikes with these parts fitted will be almost unobtainable ..... at which point, we'll be sitting on a gold-mine .... along with our stocks of original exhausts and indicators.

This does beg the question - why do people collect them? Is it penance for past wrongdoings?

In my case I've got my original one ..... the others have come as part of job-lots of more useful spares - there was never an intention to collect the things.

I have a lightly used Sachs shox from an RSVR - thats just been replaced by an Ohlins.

Bought New & still in the box from DK motorcycles, I was going to wait until I've had a suspension setup session done with the Ohlins but if its needed.....

Can post photos tomorrow.

Cheers - Frank
