weird one
couple of years ago I stripped out the rear shock from a 2002 rsvr
I did not need the linkages - the shock was going into another mille, but being a professional vulture, put them away into my stores
(I do not have any falco linkages in the place that are spare - the ones off my falco are long gone, and hanna's went on a falco that was having its goodies stripped out)
here is the wierd part - chap wanted the linkages for the new shock he had acquired - so off they went
turns out they are falco linkages / dogbone......
I can only guess that the original mille owner had fitted them in error... or a botched repair or... well I do not know what
obviously I have refunded the cash etc and look forward to getting them back - I will place them with the 4 blue spring shocks I have!

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...

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

Lol
I did not have anything to compare it with and had no inclination to measure it etc...
( I do wonder if it was an early model that had been registered late - I do recall it was an ohlins !)
