Hey All,
 I know its on here somewhere it has to be.I tried searching "Lower rear end"lower scooter Etc.. But nothing came up other than a trike? My question:
 Do any of you have pics of that lower shock block people are selling for $50 plus dollars on your scooter? I want to see how the shock actually fits on this thing and the angle? I am asking because I went to a Bobgaars(like a Menards) and I went to chain section and bought a 2 pak of 80h connecting links and 80h offset links($11) and I unhooked 1 shock and if I grind off just a little on the piece on that case where the shock mounts to and drill out the side of the shock with the threads on it these large tractor chain links will fit right on both the shock and the case.Never know? Maybe its too many pain meds? Thanks for a pic if you find one?Thanks,Born

Why in the world would you want to lower the scooter? It will ride a bunch harsher and handle like crap.

Lowering the seat would make a lot more sense than the suspension. Some of the other scooters such as a ruckus or a home made one might work too. The suspension leaves a whole lot to be desired on these with out impeading it. One thing, I have seem tiny little girls riding great big bikes that just slide off the seat at a stop light. Heck guess a guy could drop it down with a solid link instead of a shock and make a hard tail out of one too....just that your back and butt gona take some bad abuse is all.

Those are nice Jerry,,, and eBay has a bunch of shock lowering toggles as well,,,, anything over an inch and I would drop the front forks in their clamps as well so you don't change the geometry and make the steering all slow and lazy,,, also shaving the seat foam will help as well,,, this is the exact reason my wife is afraid to ride she is short of stature also
