Thanks Guys, bought it.

The seller also has some Tuono Ohlins forks, Oz wheels and some other stuff for sale....

shopping then? the oz wheels may be a misnomer - if they are off a tuoldo then they will be the aprilia copies - i think and therefore weigh the same as the standard brembo's....

and the forks.... would need the triples as well.... may well just be cheaper to get your existing ones serviced with ohlins cartridges - SO LONG AS you have showa forks that is...

My Falco had that shock on when I bought it. awesome! i love it....My wife seems play with the knob when we're riding, like it's a toy ;)

no comment shannon

and just so as you are aware, the word knob in england has many different meanings......

lets just say you have one, your wife doesn't..... and also if some one is a knob they are useless and so on..... its english!

OK, now I'm getting confused.

The shock is stamped AP8400. It has a spring marked 1093-54/140 L251.

According to Mango's excellent guide this is an early aftermarket Ohlins for an RSV Mille 1998-2000? And therefore is a straight swap onto the Falco, as they used the same dogbone and linkages?

Yes - you have one of the (comparatively rare) Mille Ohlins that bolts straight onto a Falco.

Enjoy...
