I am hopefully going to pick up the yellow shock and linkages this weekend and the breaker may have one their prices seem ok and they say they add new bits daily as opposed to all at once the short version is do you want me to ask them for you ?

The geometry of the Falco and Mille is virtually identical. Suspension wise, what works on one works on the other.
Therefore it matters not which swingarm you have on there - you need the same shock/linkage combination.

TBH there is very little difference between the Mille and the Falco - same geometry, engine the same as the very first Milles. Just a few subtle differences plus the Falco looks so much better and is a better road bike than the Mille (but I'm not biassed at all)

I suppose that's why you are slowly turning yours into a Mille then Andy!

Swingarm, oil tank, single sided exhaust etc.

Otherwise I totally agree with the comment.

Actually, Howard, the parts I've added are really Mille-R parts - and they are worth adding.

BTW I will soon be able to revert back to the Falco oil tank and cooler thanks to GregD's exhaust mod.
