Hi Jim,

When I did mine 8) I used all fittings from the rsv, but the original pivot bolt still fits.

You need aditional spacers (or bigger ones made up)
and you will also need to change the linkage triangles to stop the shocker rubbing.
I forget who :oops: sent me the template for the triangles at the mo, but I bet he reads this and gets in touch lol :lol:
Live life to the full ( throttle that is )

Be a little wary when shopping for a Mille swinger as there was apparently a batch of faulty or damaged ones around.
I don't know how much of a problem this could be but there is info over on the Aprilia Falco sites as they like to swap to Mille swingers too.

Sorry I can't help with any technical stuff.
