Yes I know, it's like opening a « wich oil you use » or « what spark plug.. »
But I find the shocks of my Sei Giorni quite harsh because I ride on little bad roads and gravel, always solo and I weight only 64kg.
So goods reasons to swap the OEM wood pieces.
I answered SIP on what they recommend me: Bitubo but with no real argument.
On the pics, YSS seems better build.
Both have the same adjustment abilities.
So what?
Bitubo are these

YSS

My thread and recommendation: YSS G Top Line shocks on GTS -> I like them!

Note: I have different rear yss than you linked

So just ordered the YSS, in complete contradiction with the recommendation of the German Vespa forum and SIP's first advice.
Why? Because I read somewhere here, from someone that have had both, that the Bitubo are stiffer. And that's exactly what I don't want. I'm light at 63kg and ride mostly little bumpy roads. The stiffness of my Sei Giorni's shocks is sometimes quite dangerous when the road is bad. So I'm looking for something smooth. Hope I'd made a good choice.

A big wheel step-thru scooter will be an improvement on ride quality 👌on lousy surfaces.

Complicate because here we can't do everything we want on vehicle.
Had to pass a technical inspection every to years and all you install has to be certified and the service should approve. And all that is listed on the grey card of the vehicle.

So, just installed the front yesterday.
Men, what in improvement! I now have a half flying carpet.
Can't wait for Wednesday where I will have the time to mount the rear.
