Yesterday I replaced my rear air shocks with some Bilsteins part #33-185606. Wow what a difference did that make. Makes me want to replace my front Belltech struts now. Hmmmmm
Tell me more! I hate the ride in the rear. Over bumps is ridiculous. Front is great. I need details man...
:tmc:
My air shocks weren't hacking it anymore. I think they were way too bouncy. So while doing a little research on PT.net this shock came up, they are only $86 shipped from Summit so I thought I would give them a whirl. I have only had them in one day but the difference is marvelous. Now I can tell that my front struts need to be changed after 60,000. I don't think Belltech designed their drop struts to have the longevity normal strut manufactures have.
Mine is bouncy in the rear as well. I like the ride and handling other than that. How is yours lowered in the rear?
I just sent you a PM. Mine is a flip kit.

GMT-900? I would go 3 in the front and 5 in the back if you want to keep it 100% driveable. JRod has his lowered 4/7 and he was having some issues with his rear wheels hitting the top of the wheel wells.

Uh, I do not remember what a '02 is. I thought it was an 800?

Ok, scratch that. a 2/4 is the lowest I would go on a 800 EC.

Drove it to North Pole, AK and back. 820 miles.

Picked up a death trap, just for kicks.

Nice scooter you got there, but if you had a long bed you would have been able to put the tailgate up just saying LOL.

But then again parking is a pain.
