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?

Are we guessing the year of the shock or carpet?

Pass me a hammer, a spanner and a cuppa

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
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.
