Upgraded trailing link front suspension

rks · 09-05-2015, 07:37 AM

With just over 300 miles on the new (to me) front shocks, I have to say this upgrade wes well worth the money. Front end feels a lot more stable, less shaking, vibration in windshield, mirrors and the like. Handling in corners such as intersections, is much improved. Especially noticeable in town where they tend to have patches and rougher pavement.

I can actually take one hand off of the grips to wave at a neighbor, without the front end starting to shake. Front tire on my scoot is the original, with just 8000 miles on it.....lots of tread left, but it is cupping, and I know it isn't rolling as smoothly as it should. Front end should improve further when I install the new Michelin City Grip before next years riding season begins.

These shocks are $80.00 each if purchased new. I got mine on Ebay, and both came off of 2013 model scooters (hard to tell from new), for a total of $77.00, delivered. You can find them cheaper, but I didn't want to put 10 or 12 year old shocks, on my 4 year old scooter.
