Hello Fellow Vespa Owners,

I'm in the market for a new front shock and would like to know which front shock to replace the stock one. I inherited a 2013 GTS 300ie from my father this summer and trailered it from WI to AZ last month. In doing so, I ratchet strapped the bike and think the compression of the front shock for 1800 miles was a bit too much. Very little rebound left in it.
So, I'd like to replace it with one that is quality and one that will fit under the front fender. Nothing too fancy but one that will improve the ride quality.

Thank you,
Rob in Phoenix, AZ

sooooo many choices. I'm bit surprised that this thread hasn't been flooded with replies (many of which cultishly claiming bitubo is the only thing worth money). hint: maybe do some searching of this site
