Do you got a scoot with this type of lever arm front suspension. the springs/ shocks are not internal but on the outside attached to an lever arm that absorbs the bumps by changing the angle
CE has 2 of these and the shocks seem to wear out quite quickly, so we were off to look for a better replacement since the last set only lasted 1300 miles before bottoming out every time he hit the brakes.
the roketa silicy rear shock is almost a bolt in swap that has enough spring to it to smooth up the ride and allow max braking without bottoming out. The roketa rear is about a half of inch shorter than stock but does not really cause a geometry problem and it gives you a sweet springer look, especially if you can find the shock in chrome. Ce has the yellow spring version on his and gives it a big two thumbs up, pics and additional details to come in a few days when I can get over and take some pics.
