I have just aquired an Ohlins from a 2000 RSVR , do I need the dog bone and triangle plates from this model to make ot fit my Falco? Cheers geezers

BTW, It was the one on Ebay recently, I couldn't cope with being bounced around any longer

Yes you do but you have them already ..... as the 2000 model Mille/MilleR used the same dog bone and triangles as the Falco - so you probably don't need to buy any more!

Check the Ultimate Parts website: http://www.ultimateparts.net/ and you'll see the part numbers are the same.

The only caution I'd add is are you sure it came from a 2000 model mille?

I'm with D - that's my set-up with standard Falco dogbones

+1 Mine also came from a 2000 RSVR. Uses same dog bones etc. Should have a 140lb spring I believe

It won't have a 140lb spring - it might have an Ohlins code printed on the spring that has '140' somewhere in it. Actual spring rate is somewhere around 800lb.

Whoops, my bad. You're right. 14 Kgf/mm spring is 800 lb/in. Written as something like 54/140 on the spring (for 14 N/m spring)

Nice one, I knew I'd need the dog and plates to fit it, just not sure if the RSV ones were needed/different.
Well no I'm not certain its off a 2000 model, but I just have to take my chance that they weren't tellin porkies, I'll get it to work, I'm an engineer

Just need some good mini indicators now as the ones I bought "Bike It" same as Oxford mini Spear, were a pile of shite and I sent them back!

Check the spring markings as posted above - that will confirm

That sounds right from what Tommy was saying
