So just how easy is it?
To fit a MIlle shock to a Falco?
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

depends on which one - linkages etc
BUT
if you have an abba stand, or have a friend with one, less than two hours start to finish
you will need a torque spanner....
(ie, very easy - just take your time)

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...
From memory, the hardest part was was working out which way to turn them to get them out of and then back into the swingarm.
If you have a hugger, take that off first.

OK, twas not mille shock, was Ohlins did it about 4-5 weeks ago.
Once you have the back in the air to take the weight off the rear wheel, is a piece of cake.
Undo bolts, slide old blue out, slide in new shock, do up bolts thats it.
OK I don't have a hugger in the way, found it easiest to pull the old shock out from below.
Best of luck.
