My ride has way too many miles (54,ooo Kilometers) and I had replaced the rear shock with a stock shock about 4 years ago, but I ride with the wife in tow and it is just a harsh ride.
I picked up a junk stella front fork assy to convert to disc brake and the front stella shock is toast. I want to fix the shock before I put it on my P.
I figure if I get both front and rear shocks, a rear shock mount from clauss studios with the urethane motor bushings it should tighten up the loose ride. I had changed the bushings with rubber stock ones when I rebuilt my motor last year and it's better, but I want it to be tight like my friend's 2005 px150, his rides sweet compared to my oldie but goodie.
I was going to get some bitubos, but they are soo expensive. And
I saw Greasy recommended gabriels or new stock shocks in a post a while back. Since I ride two up lots I was wanting to get something better than stock, maybe adjustable, like the bitubos. But the project rally we rebuilt a while back had a rear bitubo and I was not impressed that much over the stock shocks, but I could feel the difference when adjusted.....
So any recommendations from ya'll who got performance shocks on your scoot?
Any as always, thanks Eric and Greasy for your never ending wealth of information....I'll owe ya'll many, many rounds of drinks at a rally sometime.....
I was at amerivespa this year, I had a blast!!!!and I WILL be in San Antonio in 2010.
Thanks in advance,
Chas
