OK OK hands up it's a complete f@@k up and when i get back i will be changing it myself , only reason i didn't is because i don't have the best way to support the bike in my garage and i'm not that well set up for that sort of thing ..........Am trying to get the misses to go to the garage and send me some photos of the other triangles and dog bone so i can get the all clear from you boys before i make the same mistake !!!
Had an email back from Gabro with a list saying about the problems with fueling i'm having between 3-5 thou on the bike since fitting these new throttle bodies and a chip i had off him ........problem is now when it's start to get real tech that's when i should stop and let people like you lot who know what they're doing take over , i love to give it a go but what normally happens is it costs me twice as much cause i'll probably f@@k it up at some point ...
So expect more from me when i get back .............unless anyone is holidaying in Cornwall mid August and wants to add some Falco time inbetween the family time !!!
Aladin .....why the boss ......company is ISS ......IF THAT HELPS..

ok
can you tell me where the nearest trading standards office is please.....
(even better than where is your boss!)
can i also hmbly suggest, while you cannot spend any money on the bike while you are away, buy an abba stand - that makes this kind of job a piece of piss
oh - and as well as the right bobbins for te falco, get the set of bobbin threads that go into the footrest mounts - cost around 15 quid iirc, but allow you to a take the swing arm out, and b get the bike that little bit higher which may help you sort the bottom of the shock out - more clearance is good

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...

OK - I've scaled some measurements from that dogbone picture against pictures of the Falco dogbone and mille dogbone.
The ratio of length to the thickness at the ends very strongly suggests that the one you posted up is indeed the mille dogbone.
[basically I'm convinced that's what it is but I'm not going to say that without any shadow of doubt based only on scaling from pictures]
