If those shocks would allow you to remove the springs to substitute them for thinner wire springs you would have more lattitue with adjusting airpressure. Where are they sitting with your weight on the scooter? I would expect that a good shock to have a lot of movement under normal riding if you are looking for a cushy ride. That was my first complaint when I got the chinese 150 that was wrecked 2 weeks ago when a dog ran under the front wheel.

In Front shocks on motorcycles have a lot to play with, thinner or thicker oil, thinner or thicker springs, changing to a different valving. Some have 8-9 inchs of travel to absorb road bumps/

longer strokes have more play to the point where they bottom out. Then you use the oil to smooth things over.
