All the gen 1's

Early cheap red non adjustable red Sachs and slightly later ohlins

Make sure you get the mounting bits...


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...

Ta, what mounting bits?

I'm sure the new rear shock I'm searching for will help calm it down. But would still like one.

The connections from the damper to the frame - look at ultimate parts for the drawing

Definatly try and get the mounting bits, I got the damper on its own and I've still not got around to fitting it. Just for a couple of shouldered shims and bolts basically it comes to around £30 before postage etc, quite expensive for what it is. I really must get around to ordering them.
