Yes
But why?
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...

Depends on the Ohlins - if it's a Falco one, you should already have the linkage. If it's a Mille one, then yes you'll have to source a Falco linkage

either way you need to give me the ohlins :)
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

iirc reggie has a later ohlins for his falco off a mille - the one that needed the correct linkages from the mille....
(I was not taking the piss... just remembered - especially as he indicated that to fit the ohlins he had changed the other bits... so i am guessing they are lost in a garage somewhere....)

Well I can swap a standard linkage for the ohlins - no problem :)

Just be a little less self-persuasive and enjoy the Falco
.... and if you do sell it, you can still stick around
