Doesn't look like the one I got from a 2000-2003 Mille

Mine's got a knurled knob at the bottom not the screw and a Horizontal reservoir at the top.

Are you sure it's from a Mille?

I'd say late 80's...

Didnt the RSV Mille shock also have ride height adjustment?

Pretty certain that's not a Mille shock - doesn't look like any Falco shock I've seen either.
The ride is the reason ........ the destination is just the excuse.

Sorry about that :smt009
Dont know if its gonna use the same linkage as the current one or not.
I thought it was a Mille one as yellow and gold.
Or is it worth swapping

It's not a Mille one of any description - no reservoir on it.

It could possibly be a "blue springer" Falco shock but with a yellow spring - although the body is black on them.

My opinion is it is of no interest whatsoever. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
