Hi all,
Have a HyperPro rear shock off a 1998-2003 Mille. Which dog + bone set do I use the falco or mille one's?
Not sure which too fit
Any advice men.
My warranty is the clear/smoked tail lights around the corner!!

Mille shock needs the same 'era' Mille dog done and triangles.

Two is the magic number... ;)

You'll need to be a bit more specific, I'm afraid. The 1998-2000 model years (1st Generation) used the same triangles & dogbone as the Falco; the 2001-2003 model years used the Mille 2nd Generation ones. So you need to find which of the two it was made for...
If you know (or can find out) the spring rate that will give a very good indication of whether the shock was configured for 1st or 2nd Gen Mille. Hyperpro shocks are very good kit, by the way. Easily as good as Ohlins.

Yep - treat it like the Aprilia it was designed for. If it was for a Mille then use the appropriate Mille linkages
