Hyperpro Rear Shocker

#1 Post by GregD-UK » Wed Oct 14, 2009 10:15 am

Hi all,

Fitted a mille hyperpro rear shocker to my falco, have a mille "Banana" swingarm on. Should I use my falco dog + bone OR use a rsv mille dog + bone :smt017

Not sure which to use.....
My warranty is the clear/smoked tail lights around the corner!!

Which Aprilia was the Hyperpro designed for?
.... That's the linkage you need to use.

But as discussed, the shock lengths etc of the two Hyperpro are the same aren't they? So use the falco triangles?? :smt017

Same(ish) spring rates?
Same stroke?

Hi all,

Yes Bigun and D-Rider, the shock is off a mille 98> But, the length of the shock is the same :smt001 The mille dog + bone seem quite long, as is the triangles :smt017 Will they increase/decrease the ride height?

I am going to a guy in newcastle maybe friday to setup the suspension, I may take the mille linkage, just incase he suggests that they should be fitted :smt017

Thought someone on here might of put a hyperpro on their beasty :smt002

98 Mille should have the same linkages as the Falco

Think the change was during 2000 (but that's just from memory)

I've heard very good things about Hyperpro shocks; at least as good quality as Ohlins, so I've heard. And I concur with Andy - use the Falco dogbone/linkages...
