Hi peoples,
I want to change the swing arm on Falco for a RSV one.
But I have an ohlins shock on mine, will this fit ok, or will I have to get an RSV shock to fit the arm.
If so Why ? ? ?

Stavvy you probably can do it but it may not be a straightforward as it seems.
Different bikes have different linkages with different leverage ratios. Even different year Rsv's vary from each other.
The shocks on those bikes will also be damped to match the leverage ratio of the linkage of that bike and be a specific length to maintain the correct ride height.
i can't speak from experience as i have never done it but matching your shock to a swingarm and a linkage all not made to be together might make for a pig in the handling dept.
The Falco also had twin exhausts compared to the single of the rsv so there might be some clearance issues.
I would certainly research it before you spend too much money.
