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...

Nice .... but please don't expect the same level of improvement you got with the ohlins rear shock.

Caliper bolts are needed for the forks, the Ohlins have recessed mounting holes so use an Allen bolt rather than the flanged hex bolt for the Showas

Oh, you may also find that with the RSVR clip ons the brake MC will hit the fairing bracket, preventing you from using the steering lock
