Having spent some time phoning around breakers for Falco parts the answer i get is

`dont get many Falcos mate but i have Mille parts on the shelf are they the same?`

unfortunately i have no idea so can we start some sort of reference list?

I am aware that the Mille swinging arm is a straight swop for the Falco unit. Does this mean that the rear wheel is a straight swop? would the Mille front wheel fit also? Would this include the `R` wheels ? Will the Falco shock or the mille shock need to be fitted after this conversion?

Apparently it is well documented that the Mille shock (with a little modification) will fit the Falco.

This sort of information will go along way to iether upgrading the falco (argumentitive comment) or indeed making that DIY repair considerably cheaper.

I would suspect the Falco shock. Check this site to make sure.

Engine, Forks, Wheels, Guages, Triple Clamps, Computer, Airbox, Throttle Bodies, handlebars levers, switchgear, rear linkage, and Brakes.

You can even install a Mille shock on the Falco: just be careful about clearance on the filling valve located on the reservoir - You may have to file it down a little. A Mille swinger bolts on as well.

If you're going to get the swinger, get the Mille shock as well. It's much better than the OEM Falco one.
